Capri's Like That Y'All

Mariah Carey often records her hit-making songs in a private studio on Italy's island of Capri, so when we need some creative rejuvenation, we may want to head there as well.

However stars aren't always the best judge of hotels. One guest at the Grand Hotel Quisiana, a 19th-century resort, had this tip for the island of Capri:

When you book a hotel on the island of Capri, do not trust the stars. Sometimes you see five stars, but they are neither 5 stars nor 4, but only 3. You spend a fortune to stay in a little room, a room that should not cost more than 120 Euro (170$) in a normal hotel.

We stayed at the Quisisana Hotel only for one night, and the day after we moved to the wonderful Weber Ambassador Hotel, where we had a very rich breakfast, and where for 130 Euro we were given a room which was two times larger than that cage at the Quisisana Hotel!

Rooms at the Weber are also air-conditioned and come with 68-channel satellite television. If you do stay here, just be sure to book a seaview room as the wrong room can ruin the trip.
