We stayed at Hotel Il Nido when visiting Sorrento. This hotel is great. They offer a free shuttle service to pick you up in town and then offer hourly shuttle service back into town. They offer a great restaurant and rooms have amazing views. I would highly recommend staying here if you find yourself in Sorrento, Italy.

I traveled to Costa Rica and stayed overnight upon arrival and departure in San Jose. We stayed at the eco-friendly Hotel Aranjuez. I would highly recommend this hotel. It was a flat free of $12 from the airport to this hotel. It was within walking distance of downtown and several restaurants. It is clean, cheap, offer internet access and a free fresh breakfast.

The Blu Water Bistro restaurant is across the street from Greenlake (they offer 2 other locations in Seattle). The atmosphere is great; neighborhood feel, great people watching in the summer & parking in garage. The windows (almost floor to ceiling) open on nice days so it feels you are sitting outside. Great place to relax on a nice day. However, the food is another thing. The prices are high and the food not worthy. I ordered ravioli and it was swimming in the sauce (sauce was consistancy of water). This meade the ravioli slimy and mushy. The artichoke dip appetizer had a layer of oil on the top of it. I would go for a drink and maybe desert, but not dinner/lunch.
