1. Imperiale Palace Hotel

"The Imperial Palace hotel in Santa Margherita is a beautiful hotel in a perfect location. It is convenient to town and boating launches. The property itself is stunning. The staff go above and beyond to ensure you have a wonderful stay. The beach area and pool on the property are lovely. There’s so much to do in the area you cannot go wrong. The hotel restaurant is so beautiful for dinner on the balcony overlooking the sea. We look forward to return trip."

"Our check in was very disappointing. The room was very small so I request an upgrade which I was happy to pay for- the receptionist explained they had a room but it was being cleaned, for us to go enjoy lunch and come back to sort it out. On our return they had sold the room to someone else. Hotel location is nice, rooms tiny and old/ worn. Beach set up in also very small with sun loungers crammed together. the beach is lovely. Stay in a proper hotel and come use the beach!"
