We got to walk around the island and it was nice already having lunch set up for us. We had a nice lunch with a decent amount of food. Our only complaint was the ferry ride to Ischia. It was extremely choppy and several people got sea sick. However, it’s no one’s fault that this happened, just be prepared and maybe buy some motion sickness medicine!!”

“I wasn’t sure if the beautiful pictures posted were gonna be the reality that we would see. But it is absolutely as gorgeous as the picture show. Everything went smoothly from hopping on the hydrofoil and getting a shuttle there. The only thing I wish is that the spa would have better signage inside. It took us a while to find where the towels and swim caps were located. By the way, they are right next to the indoor swimming pool. I love the temperature of all the pools. I just wish we could’ve stayed longer.”
