Although I'm not able fully understand the other reviews in German (negative one) and Italian (positive one), I should evaluate this hotel slightly above an average. We spent a week there at the start of July 2010. We booked for double-room with halfboard and surcharged for sea-view, it was rather more expensive. The room was clean and spacious, with large balcony. (By spying a bit other rooms during everyday cleaning period, we concluded that we had rather a good luck, may be we got the best room in the hotel. We saw really inferior rooms as well.). Acces to private beach crosses the public esplanade, but it bring no problems and/or discomfort. Although the shore is stony, bathing is pleasant there because of wharf builded for easy access to the sea. Umbrelas and deck chairs are provided. Because of rather small extent of the beach, space for individual people is somewhat limited . Breakfasts were of standard level. Dinners were typically italian, very inartificial but tasty and enjoyable. They offer good local table-wine for reasonable price. All meals are served outdoors in simple courtyard. Pioppi itself is a small pleasant townlet with lovely promenade along the shore and it has nice surroundings belonging to interesting Cilento National Park. I should stress that, by my opinion, the hotel is concentrated on local Italian visitors - particularly during summer period. Many of guests were apparently the "annual" ones. The staff was very kind to them; to be an outlander here is slightly a drawback, although they were friendly to us as well. I"m afraid that during the spring and autumn lower-cost periods, when groups of pensioners used to come from abroad booking the cheapest options available, the behaviour of staff, the level of service and overall impression may be poorer.

pleasant, although overpriced a bit

There were many factors of this hotel in which made it horrible; 
Horrible service
Rude comments from one of the servers to my 79 year old grandmother
Inconvenient rooms
A mirror in the bathroom with the view to the neighbours living and dining room
Food issues 
Small portions
No fork for the breakfast in the morning
Small choice for breakfast

Though the hotel is horrible, the beach and the water is amazing. The water is clean, clear and there are nearly no people. 

Overall, the service is the worst and none of the ones who work here seem to have any heart. We are three children traveling with our grandparents and having to listen to arguments and rude comments coming at our grandmother is hurtful. If you read this please consider the fact that we might have been just very unlucky, but know that we will never be back here ever again!
