Sorriso Thermae Resort & SPA

La habitación no estaba muy limpia y las instalaciones eran bastante anticuadas, pero el servicio general del hotel estuvo bien, salvo que hay que prestar mucha atención al restaurante. Pedí dos platos por 70 euros, pero no me cobraron por plato, sino por persona: 35 euros.

Giardini molto curati, bellissime piscine utilizzabili 24 ore su 24, pasticcere super a colazione, purtroppo pulizia della camera insufficiente, capelli dappertutto e non è stato messo nemmeno il rotolo della carta igienica

This was our second time in Ischia and our first time staying in Sorriso Terme Resort and spa and it can simply be described as paradise. It was our second wedding anniversary and the staff were extremely friendly and very professional and attentive to our needs. Our room had a fantastic sea view and was immaculate, cleaned daily to a very high standard we had all of the amenities we required for our time at the resort. The are several pools to choose from located throughout the resort and we found ourselves rotating between these daily. We were served drinks poolside from the staff who were extremely polite and professional. The food, wow. The food we had was served from the Il Tufo restaurant which itself requires it's own review. The beef was cooked to absolute perfection, tender and melted in the mouth, swordfish pasta, incredible. The daily menu is displayed at the restaurant entrance and there are several options for each course, the portions are extremely generous and the staff ensured we did not go hungry during our stay. We were provided with evening entertainment poolside on a couple of evenings which really created a fantastic atmosphere and authentic experience. The resort itself is located on a major bus route (tickets available at reception) and this made travelling the island incredibly easy, Ischia Porto? No problem. Ischia Adventure Park? No problem. The beach? Definitely no problem there as a private shuttle is provided by the hotel. There were not too many other English people at the resort and the staff were fantastic communicating which helped as my Italian is awful. The staff were very funny and extremely professional and made us feel incredibly welcome. Some of the locals that we spoke with were in agreement that Sorriso Terme is possibly if not the best hotel and spa resort on the island and we would have to agree. This is possibly Ischia's best kept secret and well worth a visit. Amazing staff ✅ Amazing views ✅ Amazing food ✅ Amazing pool ✅ Amazing experience ✅

I really liked both the hotel and the island. The hotel: a thermal water pool and a very nice spa center. The food was varied; every morning we received a menu where we would check off what we wanted for dinner. A very nice system—it helps avoid food waste. There was a bus that took you to the beach, but we also had the option of going down the stairs behind the hotel. The rooms were clean, and housekeeping was done daily. In front of the hotel, there was a bus stop, which made it very easy to explore the island. A wonderful place that I would love to return to.

Hotel Review: Sorriso Therma (09.06.25 – 21.06.25) I stayed at Sorriso Therma Hotel from June 9th to June 21st, 2025. Unfortunately, this hotel does not deserve its 4-star rating—maybe it did several decades ago, but certainly not in 2025. Rooms During my stay, I had to change rooms four times. Room 253: We booked a sea view room and were given room 253. The sink drain was broken, and it took three requests before a technician finally came to fix it—a classic Italian tradition, perhaps. To make matters worse, this room was located directly under the restaurant, where loud music played until 1–2 a.m. (sometimes even later, depending on the manager’s mood). Room 129: After negotiations at the reception, we were moved to room 129. It was better, but we quickly discovered an ant trail leading from the balcony into the room. After another call, the ants “understood” that their road was temporarily closed for repairs. Room 237: Since the weather and sea were great, we decided to extend our stay and booked a standard room. This time, we were “surprised” with room 237, where the plumbing didn’t work, the shower cabin barely opened, and the balcony door only opened about 30° because it hit the floor tiles. The “view” was just a wall. Room 151: After further diplomatic negotiations, we finally received room 151, which actually resembled what a 4-star room should be: a safe, a full set of towels, new plumbing, and two pillows per person. As you can see, all these issues were just about the rooms. Access to the Sea There are two options: a steep, old staircase from the hotel to the beach, or a shuttle service. The earliest shuttle to the beach is at 9:00 a.m., and the return is at 12:00 p.m. This is not convenient if you want to go earlier or come back later. Food Do not expect tasty or varied breakfast options—every day was the same, with desserts being the only highlight. We also tried the dinners, which were even worse than breakfast. If you know what good food tastes like, I recommend going to the center of Forio to eat instead. Staff Unfortunately, we had to repeat every request three times. Multiple negotiations about the rooms and constant explanations left a negative impression. There were some good staff members, especially the night shift man and a few waiters who served food. Be careful! An elderly lady staying near us was overcharged by €100 on her final bill. The situation was resolved, but no one apologized. After checkout, they also “forgot” to return our towel deposit—another €15 per person! Facilities Perhaps the only advantage of this hotel is its location and what remains of the thermal springs. The thermal pools are old and seemed to be cleaned rarely (especially the one downstairs). Half of the pool features did not work. Final Thoughts If possible, I recommend avoiding this hotel. If you decide to take the risk and stay here, keep a close eye on your bar and restaurant bills. For example, a bottle of water at dinner costs €
