Hotel Cerere is unforgetable. Everything was more than excellent. Beautiful place, extra nice staff. Excelent breakfast. I would recommend it 1000 times.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
This is a very good venue / property (I only used the self catering accommodation) which was well equipped and spacious. The only downside was that the swimming pool wasn’t available due to maintenance. Staff were friendly and helpful and location is walkable for a beautiful beach in Capaccio
There were major works taking place at the hotel, this did not impact us too much as we were staying in the self catering part of the hotel. Not ideal if you are travelling with children as there was nowhere for them to play & because the hotel is primarily a wedding venue & appears to be set out permanently for this function it renders the pool off limits to everyone else.
The self catering accommodation itself was good but the general feel of the hotel is unwelcoming.
Nice hotel, but clearly catering to the wedding business. This means that the pool hours are limited during the mid-day (when weddings are held). The restaurant has limited options and hours, but there are several good eateries within a short walk (including one Michellan-starred place).
The beach is two blocks away and they have their own private beach area. The train station and Paestum ruins are about 5 kilometers away. You can walk it, but a taxi is advised.
We stayed in the Residence section next to the main hotel. The unit had a bedroom, living room/kitchen table, and 3/4 kitchen. It was a half-mile walk to the beach - an amazing beach akin to the Jersey Shore without the honky tonk - great sand, warm water (similar to Florida or Caribbean). The beach was a very pleasant surprise. Plenty of restaurant options within walking distance, including a grocery/wine/beer store. The only negative is one that we found at the two other hotels we stayed at this trip - over firm (hard) mattresses. Another possible negative depending on your perspective is that hotel staff and nearby restaurant staff speak and understand English poorly. That said, we got by just fine, thanks to their patience and good humor. We never made it to the amazing looking pool in the pictures.
Well maintained hotel for a short stay. Staff are friendly although only a few have command of basic English. Lift is rather small for the size of the hotel. Only English channels in tv are Aljazeera and Bloomberg. Some cloth hooks in the bathroom would be helpful.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The hotel itself was nice, very nice pool area. Rooms could do with some upgrades, specifically the bathroom/shower. The staff was not very helpful. No towels at the pool, you had to walk all the way back to reception and then they charge 2euro but maybe this is normal in Italy. There was one girl who was really unfriendly at checkin and I think this set the tone for the whole place.
The hotel is very lovely,the staff are so welcoming and will do anything to
Make your stay enjoyable. We had breakfast included and it was good with
A large variety of food to choose from. I would highly recommend this hotel.
Stayed for 11 days. Even though we spoke no Italian the staff went out of their way to make sure we got answers to all our questions. The staff was friendly and very helpful.
We booked the hotel as a recommendation of a wedding party we were attending, this is the sister hotel of Mec so we thought it would be a good choice, and we were right!
Service was continually impeccable, even with a slight language barrier which was actually quite charming.
The location is great to get away from built up tourist destinations and go somewhere with a bit more culture.
Very nice and clean hotel with a lovely pool area. Great bar staff. Hotel room a bit on the small side for a family of 2 adults and 2 children. The only real downside to the holiday was the amount of weddings that were held around the pool area during our stay at the hotel, found it hard to relax with wedding guests in suits and dresses and my family in pool attire. Came across more of a wedding venue than a hotel.
Beat the tourist trap of the Amalfi Coast and stay at the Hotel Cerere in Peastum. Close to everything, affordable, clean and great staff. This is where European families vacation.The beach is clean the water is good for children, the pool is great. I definitely recommend.
We were initially in a room on the 2nd floor which looks nothing like what is advertised online: it's outdated and grimy. We requested a room as shown on the hotel site and was moved to the 1st floor which has clearly been renovated and matches the modern designs found elsewhere at the hotel.
We unfortunately didn't realize that the pool would close daily from 12.45-15.30. Had we known we would have booked elsewhere. And while we're quite fond of weddings, neither had we realized that this hotel seems to host a daily wedding (at least while we were there) and 'normal' guests feel displaced for about half the day.
Loved the Greek ruins at Paestum, but otherwise the area has the feel of urban strip mall. We much prefer the areas around Sorrento.
Bottom line: loved the modern decor and the large pool, but we won't be going back.
We needed a hotel that was close to Pasteum and the beach. It was a unique site in that there was a nature reserve that pushed hotel development away from the water, but they had facilities at the beach about six blocks away. The season was ending but the water was still warm. It all worked fine.
Das Hotel ist sehr zu empfehlen. Die Frühstücksauswahl ist klein aber fein. Das Ambiente ist hervorragend. Rezeption sehr freundlich. Das Zimmer 101 war im guten Zustand und sauber.
Une partie des chambres ne sont pas rénovées. Elles sont anciennes et peu confortables. Le prix est élevé par rapport aux prestations.
S’agissant du service, certaines personnes sont accueillantes et efficaces, d’autres sont désagréables.
Le petit-déjeuner n’est pas aux standards internationaux.
