We were scammed out of money for a taxi to the Amalfi Coast (Positano).
The hotel quoted us 110 euros for the transfer by email and said we must book the car upon arrival and check in. However when we arrived the front desk staff made it seem like booking the transfer was very hard (like it should have been done in advance, which they wouldn't let us do) and said that due to traffic the new cost would be 160 euros. They required this be paid in cash to them, and not to the driver; this was weird - normally a hotel just makes the booking and you pay the driver. There was in fact little traffic during the drive (total transfer time ~1 hr 40 min). There was a price card in the taxi that said the trip should be 130 euros flat rate. In retrospect it seems the hotel probably pocketed the extra 30-50 euros.
Don't believe the nice photos online. The rooms are actually small and dingy. The breakfast is bad (chewy croissants, watery old scrambled eggs, warm yogurt, etc.) The hallway to our room had dirty carpets and smelled like a pet store. read more
