Frommer's Highly Recommended

The Amari Rincome Hotel [STST][val] -- This tranquil hotel complex is a favorite because of its unpretentious atmosphere and friendly service. The public spaces are lively, and around the gigantic pool, the gardens -- which contain a huge aviary -- are impressive. The best (and quieter) rooms offer pool views and come with west-facing balconies on which to enjoy a cool breakfast and sunset. There is a certain amount of (daytime) noise from low-flying planes, so light sleepers will do well to use earplugs. Most guest rooms are decorated in pastel hues, and the bathrooms are functional, with small tubs and fixed hair dryers. Dining at their La Gritta restaurant is good, and the hotel is located near the best upscale shopping in town. The staff's professionalism is evident from the moment the minibus meets you at the airport. They can help with any eventuality (tours, transport, and so on). Facilities: 3 restaurants; lounge; 2 outdoor pools; outdoor lit tennis court; tour desk; airport transfer; business center; shopping arcade; salon; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; same-day laundry service/dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive floor
