The hotel and grounds are very well kept and the decor is wonderfully done. The pools are clean and were empty when we stayed so enjoyable to relax in. Parking was easy. The breakfast was fabulous and fresh. On a down side, we booked the restaurant for our evening meal and although the service was tip top the menu was disappointing as it didn't really cater for people who don't like beef or fish but apart from that it was ok

Nice location and easy parking. The beach shuttle is convenient and worth the trip to the hotels private beach area as the family who runs the beach club is so lovely and the man is hilarious. Breakfast was really good with unlimited capo and attentive staff. The only downside is the area was a bit smelly perhaps due to it being a swamp 100’s of years ago. The only thing it was missing was a gym which we would have liked.

Overall a very good and clean hotel, however when our family wanted to get a taxi to the Mec private beach the person at the concerige told the taxi to take us to another beach which looked like a public beach. Not sure what to make of that as we're people of colour.

The Mec Paestum Hotel is 200m from the sea from which you can reach the free beach and other affiliated beaches while the beach service, with umbrella and sunbeds, included in the price is guaranteed 900m from the structure with a free shuttle service running continuously.There was no intention to create disagreements as all guests of any nationality go to the privately owned and free beach.

Great hotel.
The hotel was beautifully designed inside and out. The reception staff were particularly friendly and helpful. Our bedroom was very well furnished and maintained, and also very quiet. Our only issue with the hotel would be the limited number of sun beds around the pool when there is space for many more. We only managed to sit around the pool 1 day out of 6, although there were ample alternatives away from the pool. Overall a great hotel.

Fabulous hotel
Beautiful hotel, very clean, friendly staff and great breakfast. Hotel room was spacious despite there being 4 of us in one room. Our only gripe was that there were functions on each day which meant the main pool was closed to guests between certain times. The infinity pool was however always open but it wasn’t practical for swimming in. Still had a great time and it was great to watch the many weddings that took place. Would stay there again as the hotel was stunning.

Funky, upscale hotel near Paestum
Very nice upscale hotel near Paestum. It’s purposely funky and fun. The beginning of April was too chilly to enjoy the pools, but we took fun pictures with the decorations (e.g., giraffe holding a chandelier) around the pools. The room tub was a jacuzzi tub, which we enjoyed. It’s a very short walk to the beach, which was nice to see the sunset. Breakfast was large and delicious with fresh fruit, pastries, omelette bar, and cappuccinos.

Staying in style in Paestum
This is a beautiful hotel for a bargain price in the off-season. The rooms were very comfortable (2 double rooms and 1 for a family of 4 with a spectacular view of the garden/pool/ocean). A breakfast buffet was included and was complete with an omelet station, fruits and pastries. We had a wonderful stay a Mec Paestum Hotel!

This is one of the most beautiful and unique hotels that we have ever stayed in throughout the world. It's like going on our honeymoon all over again. The accommodations were amazing! Everything was so creative and unusual, from the sea-through giant hot tub to the high-heel chairs in the lobby. And it was in the middle of no-where very close to the wonderful ruins of Paestum. A real find at the right price. They are, however, in need of a casual dining room on site for nighttime.

this property is more directed to weddings and other large events so guests are not their number one priority. There was a wedding or two daily and go on till 3:00 AM. There were crickets outside patio doors and were loud ounce the music from the weddings stopped. Main pool not accessible between 1:30 and 3 pm due to the weddings.Beach umbrellas and chairs are not included 16 to 21 euros per day.Property well maintained and staff very nice when you needed something. We would probably not return.

Great holiday for a relaxing holiday
Overall it was a lovely holiday with plenty of relaxing and tanning. I would say this is a good hotel for those looking for a quiet and relaxing holiday as you are in a residential part of Italy so there aren't tonnes of things to do locally. However the Amalfi Coast, Capri and Salerno are all nearby which are good to explore. Locally you have a lovely beach and the temple of Athena, the local restaurants are very nice. The downside for us was the hotel is a busy wedding venue and so 4 out of our 7 night, there was a wedding being held for a few hours at the hotel which restricted our use of the pools and other services at the hotel. This was inconvenient but did not ruin our holiday. I would still recommend the area and the hotel, just be aware that there may be a few disruptions.

Challenged in many ways
The hotel is situated in an economically challenged area. As a result their are few good restaurants, only pizza places. The food in the hotel is dreadful, Don't be tempted to go for half or full board if offered. You need a hire car if you are not going to go hungry! Two good places we found are: Antiche Mura Grill & Wine, in the town, and Heretic which is about just before you get to Agripoli. Both do great steaks, especially Anticje which is comparable to Gouchos for food quality, There is no bar service at the main pool, and the pool is closed from 12.00 until 4.00 pm on days when there are weddings at the hotel (most days have a wedding). The Jacuzzi on the upper level has a bar, but service is very slow. I think the hotel struggles to recruit staff due to it's location, Everything is liveable with so long as you rent a car, but if you are used to and expect Hilton/Marriot 5* levels of service you want to avoid, The wifi is poor and you cannot stream video. The TV;s are old and don't have HDMI in or casting from PC capability. A few corners of the hotel, and the lifts show this place is quite old but has probably been refurbed around 5 years ago,

An extremely stylish hotel but feel it should be rated 4* not 5*. very luxurious "arty" decor & surroundings. Has limited meal options in the evening - 1 set menu. It's proximity to the wonderful Temples of Pastum is its main bonus and the area is not a resort: just near a little hill top village with medieval streets. Do not think you are going to the hilly, photogenic coast from Sorrento to Ravello. Just a collection of little shops and private houses plus couple of pizza places within walking distance . Very clean wide sandy beaches with woods behind them. NO sea front. It is an area of faded 1970's camping and hotel sites (many closed) for Italian families. I actually liked this natural unspoilt approach as the hotel itself was of quality and beach was 3 mins walk down a lane. Sunloungers, cafe and umbrellas on spotless beach cost 15 euros per room per day for B&B guests which I think is a ripoff and should be free , given the price of the room. Could do with more comfortable loungers round the pool with umbrellas. Smallish hotel and and masses of places to sit. Travellers used to modern resorts and rows of shops and bars need to look elsewhere. Pompeii is a good hours drive away. The hotel must make its money from luxurious weddings that happen mainly over the weekend ie main pool closed at 3.00 pm to guests on the Fri we were there. Smaller pool and sun terraces remained open. I enjoyed staying there as an interesting experience for 3 days but that was enough.
