They are very nice. The “beach view” isn’t really a view and the bed is super uncomfortable. Barely slept. But you cannot beat the location. Right on the beach with own shade and chairs.

Hotel podemos falar que é um hostel melhorado, honesto. Nossa acomodação era bem honesta , limpo, banheiro direitinho. A cama e os travesseiros poderiam ser mais confortáveis.Nao tem elevador, mas a vista do quarto para o mar era linda. Não possui recepção física, mas a Rosa foi muito solícita e a moça da limpeza também. As camas só foram arrumados no segundo dia após meu pedido. A localização é muito boa para quem chega no Porto, mas não existe praia particular no local,ele fica apenas em frente à Praia de Positano onde existe um Beachclub particular de outra empresa que não é o hotel.Nao tem café da manhã.

Great location right close to the action and the beach and with no stairs required unless you choose to go up. Go to a grocery store and get snacks and wine and enjoy the lounge chairs without the fee they charge at the beach and the same view. Check-in was a little bit confusing but turned out okay. There is no reception desk and you have to look for Rosa by either finding her in one of the rooms are going in the side entrance and going down to the bottom where the laundry room is. She's very nice!

Pleasantly surprised! This was our second time in Positano. Our last hotel in Positano was beautiful but not close to the beach. La Caravella has the best location. Reading all the reviews was helpful as far as check in. Let’s just say the check in was like in the laundry room.! The lady Rosa did not speak English. However, rooms were very spacious, clean, beds a bit firm but the location right on the water was great. It’s not the St.Regis it’s more old school rustic. Our driver dropped us off at the top and had luggage porter deliver to our room.They charge $10 per bag but well worth it. This place is great for families.I would definitely book again.

We were pleasantly surprised with this location especially given the terrible reviews that it has. I can’t speak for the other rooms but we booked a “double partial sea view” and it was great! Room was decently clean, amazing location, and bed was comfy! Check in was a little confusing but if you call when you get there, they will send Rosa to get you in. And yes, like some other reviews say, she does take you to the downstairs closet looking room but if you’re nice to her, she’ll be nice to you! Overall very happy with our stay!

Séjour très mitigé, le lit est confortable, la chambre est grande il y a une grande terrasse mais pour le prix c’est très ancien et pas propre. L’accueil est assez froid. Il faut marcher longtemps pour arriver à l’hôtel du parking qui vous coûtera 50 euros les 24h très honnête un si j’avais su j’aurais pris un hôtel en dehors de Positano ! Le seul point positif c’est qu’il est au bord de la plage et de la petite ville mais ça ne vaut pas les 500 euros !

Communication with front desk is terrible. It was my 30th anniversary. The rooms AC was not working. Front desk gave us fans. It was the middle of summer. I got in touch with expedia and they denied expedia of anyone complaining on AC not working. We understand sometimes things break and stop working but not to try to fix it and find a solution and lie about no one complaining is not acceptable. They did not care to refund us any amount. It is NOT worth the MONEY. I DO NOT recommend this stay. I want at a partial refund.

Quaint, cutely decorated casita type hotel with nice patio, living room, kitchenette, bed and bath right on the beach. Unfortunately, the beach bar next door plays loud music nightly until midnight. Hotel did not include kitchen towels, soap, sponge, paper towels or wine glasses. For the nightly price, those items need to be included. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, which was four nights.

Check in was confusing. You have to call and someone comes out to greet you in the courtyard. The room we had included a daybed and we asked for an extra sheet and pillowcase to cover it. We sent an email and called and the next day we were met in the courtyard by the staff who told us it was ‘not normal’ that we wanted the extra sheets. She wanted us to show her the room and accused us of hosting additional guests beyond the 2 of us (which we were not). We were also told that she would check the video surveillance to ensure we did not have additional guests (which we did not). It just left a bad taste for our stay. On the positive side, it is a great location!

Please stay away from This property, it is highly unsafe and people that work here are very, very, very rude and unprofessional. They did not let me check in into my room when I arrive and later, said that it was not their job to let me in, it did not make sense in the place look terrible. This is the worst place. I have been in all my travel, I have never had this sort of anger in disappointment, don’t make the mistake of booking this place. There are many better places around this hotel with better prices, I ended up paying for another hotel right around the corner and he was 10 times better and people were nicer. It is incredible. How rude and professional this people are.
