For my 800th review I'm reviewing the most beautiful location on the Amalfi Coast, Spiaggia…read moreGrande. This beautiful beach is located in the cliffside village of Positano in southern Italy. The best way to visit here is to take a ferry from nearby cities such as Naples, Sorrento, Amalfi, etc. Otherwise you'll spend close to 1.5 hours driving through some winding and hairpin turns from the nearest airport in Naples. The beach is located about 250 ft. below the closest road that allows cars, so expect to do a lot of hiking as you navigate your way through the tiny pedestrian only streets visiting shops, restaurants, and cafes. Parking is impossible here! Most of the beach here is private, so expect to spend 25 euros to rent a tiny sunbed packed in tightly next to some stranger. The small portion of the beach that is public is filled tightly with tourists marking their spot with a beach towel. The beach itself has tiny pebbles, so be sure to wear water shoes. During the day this place is packed with day trippers visiting. HOWEVER, from the early evening till mid morning you will have the place to yourself and enjoy this natural beauty. I highly recommend renting a boat on the pier and taking it out for a few hours to enjoy the blue waters and gorgeous views. That's the best way to experience this place! Overall I was really impressed the with the beauty of Positano. Such a fun place to visit with gorgeous views, great weather and beautiful crystal clear blue waters. Expect to pay high prices for restaurants and hotels here and dealing with crowds during the day. I definitely can see why the Amalfi Coast is one of the most beautiful places to visit on the planet!

Come spiaggia, è infatti molto più grande di altri posti sulla costiera e costa molto di meno. L'unica cosa è che non si può portare da mangiare o bere da fuori ma hanno cose da scegliere oppure si può uscire per mangiare qualcosa e poi rientrare. Comunque come posto molto pulito, tranquillo e rilassante. Come spiaggia è ampia e ben attrezzata con lettini, ombrelloni e docce.

The staff speaks enough English to not have any problems and their service is very accommodating and friendly. So much, that we left Positano and came back here for a second day. Below the restaurant is the beach area and you get lounge chairs with tables and umbrellas, good sized changing rooms and warm and cool showers. Of course there are bathrooms as well. €15 per person for the beach accommodations. (Positano was €30-200 pp).

The stairs down to the beach club / back up are no joke if you're staying in Praiano but totally worth it. We had a great day eating, drinking, and playing in the water, they supply floaties for the water which is really nice. The staff was so much fun and the music was 10/10. My husband and I needed help getting a boat taxi for the next day and the woman at the host desk was happy to help us. I cannot recommend One Fire Beach enough.

SERVICE IS HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!! I'm actually here right now as I'm writing this. It started as a…read morerainy day which is slow for them which I understand. BUT we are still paying customers expecting an experience. And it's now sunny and nice out so that shouldn't have even be an excuse. Servers RARELY came over to ask if we wanted drinks. Empty drinks for an hour. I had to go up to staff who were all talking to each other. (Which they have been doing the whole time). Horrible. After talking with staff they immediately started switching out our melted ice and water which is good....BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING THIS REGARDLESS RAINY OR NOT! There were 4 other dueces there..... 4. That's all. They also ask on your booking, are you celebrating anything special? Well we got married two days ago so I put that on there...I am not expecting any special treatment but why do you ask then if you don't even acknowledge it???? They haven't said one thing about it. Do not recommend. We also expressed their instagram makes the beach club seem very lively, fun and interactive...we didn't get that experience at all. They barely spoke to us and again didn't come over to ask if we wanted drinks, food, etc. What's the point of having servers?? Make it self serve or a walk up bar. Also they didn't do "melon time" because they said they had no one to cut the melon.......? 10000% not worth the money! The only reason I'm even giving it a 2 is because of the view and the drinks we did have tasted good. Edit* after I wrote this we did talk to staff..initially the woman we spoke to told my husband and I, and 2 other couples "if we don't like it we leave" WHAT?!?!? She never once said sorry or that they were wrong for all standing around and not providing service. (No joke maybe 15 staff members were working with 8 customers in the whole pool club) Then a gentleman came over who was very nice but I still don't think he was understanding what we were saying. They ended up comping our drinks which I expressed multiple times that's not what we want...simply an apology and some good service?? We will not be going back nor recommending to anyone else.

Wine and drinks: their house/vino locale white was incredible. The mineral water was priced fairly. The limoncello is the best I've ever had! Food: everything was delicious and so fresh! We sorta did a little surf and turf thing. The meat was cooked perfectly medium rare and the seafood tasted like it had been caught right before cooking.

This was the best use of 20 euro that I spent during my two week trip to Italy…read more Bagni d' Arienzo is an absolutely gorgeous private beach club. It's less crowded and more secluded than the main beach club in Positano. We happened to be staying across the road which was lucky. If not, the beach club actually has a boat that will ferry you over from the main Positano area. The space isn't huge, so be sure to make a reservation in advance. In addition to reserving a chair you can also reserve a time slot to have lunch at the restaurant. 20 euro gets you a chair with a sun shade, a towel and an umbrella. We got there early and had first pick at a seat. If you can, I suggest doing the same. It was really nice to have views of the ocean (instead of another chair) in front of us. But honestly, the beach is so beautiful that there really isn't a bad seat anywhere. A chair also includes waitress service. There is an extensive drink menu with tons of cocktails, spritzes, wines, beers, frozen drinks and smoothies. Prices are very reasonable for a beach club -- cocktails are around 10 and bottles of wine 20. We weren't expecting much for lunch but the restaurant was actually phenomenal. The grilled octopus came with a huge portion and was super fresh. The ravioli pomodoro was perfectly al dente and stuffed with a delicious ricotta cheese. The grilled eggplant was simple and cooked in flavorful olive oil. Lunch was also fairly priced, and service was fast. The seats also overlook the water, so it's a beautiful and relaxing dining setting. Two people can walk away after a full day of fun and sun, eat and drink well, and spend not much over 100 euro. I strongly suggest making sure that your Positano itinerary includes a day to spend relaxing at Bagni. You won't regret it.
