Confused about Capri....Weber, Caesar Augustus or Minerva
 
My wife-to-be and I are travelling to Capri to finish off our honeymoon. There are too many good options for hotels! Here's my dilemma....I have the Ceasar Augustus booked for $300 a night and the Weber, which is surprisingly affordable, booked at $160 a night. It there a big difference in quality? From what I've read, there's not....but it's our honeymoon and I want everything to be very special. Then, to add to my dilemma, I've read people rave about the Minerva hotel saying it's the best of both worlds, great location, easy access to the main city and it has great rooms with killer views.<BR>Someone please help!!! <BR>Any suggestions?<BR>Thanks.

Hi I have been to Capri many times and I highly suggest the Luna hotel( 4 star$225 per night) I already have my reservations for late SEPT. THEY ARE MOST HELPFUL AND WILL MEET YOU AT THE PORT TO CARRY YOUR BAGS; WHICH IS WORTH ALOT.THE LUNA ALSO HAS A POOL AND NICE RESTAURANT. THE MINERVA WAS MY 2ND CHOICE AND YOU WOULD BE IN GOOD HAND THER TOO. HAVE FUN ITALY RULES!

A few days ago, someone posted a report on their recent disastrous stay at the Ceasar Augustus, which you can find by searching for Ceasar Augustus.

Dear Nigol,<BR><BR>I vote for the Luna hotel, and ask for a room over the gardens/pool. It is so beautiful. I stayed at La Minerva and thought it was quite nice, but found Luna to be closer to Capritown and one step up in quality from La Minerva. The concierge at La Minerva was excellent, however. I would suggest that you read my write-up of Capri and the Amalfi region that I posted on fodors.com - it lists lots of secret shopping tips, restaurants, sightseeing, etc. Just type in "kiki" in the search box and it will pop up. Have a great time!<BR><BR>

Nigel - $300 per night??!?!?! When I stayed there (1985), it was $50 per night including breakfast, dinner and one bottle of wine!!
