Salerno - all beaches

This could be a lovely beach if it was cleaned, there's rubbish and cigarette butts and broken glass everywhere. Not safe for children to play on because of the broken glass. Also big issues with the guy who takes the money for the beach chairs, today he constantly kicked football with his friends, around the people that had paid him to lie on the sunbeds. Twice, the football struck people lying on the beach and he had his friends were aggressive when asked to stop or to move somewhere else. Avoid, there are nicer beaches in the area!!

We were initially worried about our holiday due to the numerous negative reviews. The village itself is a bit outdated and the accommodations are old-fashioned, but they are still functional. The bungalows have ceiling fans, although we didn't need to use them much because the evenings were usually cool. The resort is built on terraces that slope down to the sea, providing a beautiful panoramic view. However, it may be uncomfortable for elderly individuals and families with small children in strollers. The beach has both a sandy area, which we didn't particularly like, and a lovely pebble side. Sea shoes are necessary! They also have a designated beach area for dogs. Once you pass the cliff, the sea is absolutely wonderful, and the resort provides free kayaks for guests to use. The shuttle service is a bit outdated, but it is still very efficient. There are entertainment options for children and the staff is welcoming and friendly. Overall, it offers good value for money compared to other places in the area, but if you're looking for a top-notch resort, it's best to look elsewhere.

We made a reservation for a table for two on August 15th, five days ago. We received notification of availability and price, and we accepted. However, instead of receiving a phone call, we were informed through WhatsApp that the table had been given to others who had booked before us. This lack of organization and incompetence from the managers left us without a place on the eve of mid-August. We should have questioned their practices the previous year when we were charged an illegal surcharge on our card payment. Despite this, Cilento remains a beautiful place, but some individuals should not be allowed to work with people. It would be beneficial if the authorities conducted more thorough checks, perhaps at the end of the evening.

We opted for this destination for a day trip to the seaside and it was a truly enchanting experience. For a mere 5 euros a day, there's a park conveniently situated close to the beach, making access a breeze. Descending the stairs, we were greeted by the stunning shoreline. In July, we paid 40 euros for two deck chairs and a beach umbrella. The beach also features a bar and a charming little eatery where you can indulge in a light lunch or a picturesque aperitivo during sunset. The prices of the bar and restaurant are highly competitive, especially given that we're at the start of the Amalfi coast and in the midst of summer. In summary, the sand is pristine, the water is inviting, and the parking and accessibility are top-notch. Bravo!

If you're someone who enjoys a good night's sleep, I wouldn't recommend staying here. However, if you're a fan of partying, this hotel is great. Even the best earplugs can't block out the noise coming from the nearby discotheque. And when the music finally stops, it's not long before the noise from the breakfast preparations starts right above your head, especially if you're unlucky enough to have a room on the second floor. Hopefully, things will improve after Friday and Saturday. Apart from that, the room was nice and clean.

The beach was disappointing with its dirty water and exorbitant prices of 22 euros for an umbrella and two sunbeds. On top of that, we had to pay for parking which added to the already expensive three hours we spent there. It made me miss the free and pristine beaches of Greece.
