Onda Verde - Praiano

My wife and I spent 2 weeks here in July and I can’t explain in words how amazing this place was, from the elevator operator to the guest counter and on to the wait staff we were treated like royalty!!! We traveled the whole coast and it was all beautiful of course but this hotel was by far the best part of the whole trip! Special thanks to Thomas our waiter, he went far and above to make us feel special, so much so that we chose to eat here with him over a Michelin restaurant!!!!!! Hopefully next time we go he will be in management (he is most deserving!!! Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5 Hotel highlights: Romantic

Me, walking up the slope 12 minutes before they start dinner service at 7:00pm, with 3 waiters literally standing around doing nothing at all, all of the tables set, and no customers: Hello, lei parla inglese? Yes, no problem. I know you 're not open for another few minutes, but may I sit to order a cocktail? No, sir, we have not started the dinner service yet. Come back at 7:00. Curious to take a chance on this this place, I was instantly moved to continue home towards my hotel. Sad, because to take 30 seconds on a drink order from completely idle staff you likely would have made over 100 euros take from someone staying for dinner on an otherwise completely empty night in the off season at a place that is hard to reach and has no foot traffic aside from a handful of people coming back from the shore after dark. To the owner: the people who you have running your restaurant don 't care at all about making you money. They are showing up only to do the bare minimum, and are either so resentful towards tourists that they refuse the business of even the most polite ones even when the restaurant is completely dead, or they are just plain rude and lazy.

We just got back from our honeymoon extended vacation and part of it was staying at this beautiful hotel. I did not write a review immediately post check out, because I wanted to sit on it...calm down from the vacation high in order to give an honest review... and here it goes.... THIS IS THE BEST HOTEL in PRAIANO! Hands down!!!! multiple reasons, of which most of the 5 star ratings touch on already. (Read them, they are accurate , but I wanted to add a little colour to it.. The location is THE BEST location in the town. We took a stroll through the town to try other restaurants, and even visited the other hotels for future consideration, but quickly realized that the street level location and ease of access to the beach/water taxi's/local store for the basics, was more than ideal. Everything else is a hike up the steep cliff. Normally not an issue, as we like the hiking, but the heat made the hikes really sweaty! The fact that there is also an elevator available is great for all. This hotel also has a spectacular dining experience. Their complementary breakfast was always delicious and fresh, and the views are spectacular! The dinner offering is that of a fine dining experience with delicious food. You will see that in some posts there are a few guests complain about serving size... Let me be clear... This is a high end restaurant with high end food. Don't expect a McDonalds XL sizing here.. The dishes are exactly what they should be, and the pricing is exactly what they should cost. If you don't want to make a special night out at their restaurant, there are many other places that are available around, but I highly recommend the food and visual experience at Restorante Franchino. go their for the memories and the great service! There are also restaurants in the quickly walkable beach area that also have great food, and Il Pirata ristorante at the base of the hotel is also a must visit. No shortage of food options! The pool isn't too big, but that's a plus for us. It has a bubble lounger, infinity pool edge, guizer and waterfall that are all push button to activate. Since the property is private, you don't have a lot of riff raff around (or any for that matter, in our experience , and there are enough spots to sit/sunbathe for everyone. You might just want to do it on other floors (all of which are connected and convenient . Lastly, the staff.... What can I say. Tania, Francesco, Giuseppe, Anna and the rest of the staff were just so friendly and helpful. You all made the stay more pleasant and enjoyable, with no hesitancy to help out with dinner reservations or water taxi bookings, or even just a great conversation... We will be back there in our future and I hope, if you're reading this, that you go and experience this for yourself. Praiano is not Closterphobic like Positano, or busy like Amalfi, but they are both only 15 minutes by water taxi away. It's a romantic and generally quite place to chill and look out at the beautiful water and cliffs of the Amalfi Coast. The stunning colours of boats and people on the pier diving into the seawater (as we did was just what we needed. Enjoy!!! : Rooms: 5 Service: 5 Location: 5

This is a beautiful hotel that has beautiful views of the sea and coast. We enjoyed our time here but found at time that the steps were tiresome. The pool area is small but there are lots of decks to sit on, but it is difficult sometimes to get out of the sun. There is good service on the decks, and breakfast (and breakfast staff) are amazing.

Very disappointed with this hotel! The cleanliness as well as the renovation of the rooms is to be reviewed! The hotel also charged us a massage at 150€ that we could no longer do It is worthy of a 3 star and not 4 Rooms: 1 Service: 1 Location: 1
