The facilities are typical non luxury hotels. The rooms are mediocre at best but the pool area is nice. You have to pay for everything (beach chair, towels) but can sit by the pool without a fee- except for towels

There was a very strong smell of sewage everytime we walked into our room, the staff were not very friendly, or helpful, we arrived early and were told our room wasnt ready check in was 3pm which was fine we sat by the pool to wait i went to the bar at 2.15 and asked was there any chance our room was ready the receptionist ran someone and i was told no sorry, we got our room at 3pm ans when we got there we found it was a room that had been ready for ages as we could see which rooms were finished from the pool area, the bartender during the day was way to slow i stood at the bar for 10mins waiting for him to come back with 5 other people staying waiting too he then took anothef 10 mins to make 2 drinks. You had to walk from the hotel onto the main street to get to the pool area each time, when arriving back to the hotel in the evening everything was closed we couldn't get a drink at the bar before heading to bed for the evening. The private beach was small and not great at all. Over all not great definitely wouldn't be staying there again

Lovely stay during the festival season

Stayed here during the first week of August when a festival was going on in the town of Cefalu. Although the party would go on until 2am, you couldn't really hear it in the rooms due to the thick glass window on the balcony doors. Great buffet breakfast and the rooms were cleaned if you asked them to be cleaned whilst we were out. We stayed in a triple, which was spacious enough. The only downside is that the shower gel/body wash wasn't topped up as we got towards the end of our stay. Stayed six nights and could honestly stay for a couple more as we enjoyed the weather, beach and the general area of the northern Sicilian coastline.

Great pool but shuts 1-4pm. Very 1980s hotel so felt a bit depressing. Good breakfast. Cefalu is very expensive unfortunately. Too windy to make use of private beach. To be fair to the hotel they didnt shut the pool (maybe because we couldn't use the beach). That part of the coast seems to have rip tides too so I'm not sure its safe for swimming anyhow. Cefalu is very pretty so if you have a bigger budget I would recommend looking elsewhere.

The location and staff are good. The pool was nice. The mattress was absolutely terrible and needs to be updated. The shower head/ shower had mold. The wifi was also terrible. Not good for someone who’s travelling from out of country.

The hotel was very uncomfortable - flat pillows, old mattresses. The rooms were nothing to write home about - small, not well decorated etc. We ate downstairs in the restaurant for dinner, and I got uncooked (raw in the middle) pork. I wouldn't stay here again - there are better choices in Cefalu.

It is definitely a 3 star I liked everything about the hotel except the private beach had no chairs as it is cement and was not accessible. In addition there is a dreadful smell of sewer from the toilet. Otherwise the staff are friendly, the breakfast had many options and it is a close walk to town.

This was probably the best hotel that we stayed at Dora our travels to London, Rome, and Sicily. The room was great and the staff were fantastic. They had a room with a better view that they gave us for free. Breakfast every morning was very good. And it was a short walk to town. It was great having a parking lot next-door as we drove there. If I was ever to come To Cefalu again I would pick the same hotel!

Really good stay with this hotel, especially for the price! Nice pool, close to the beach, quiet. It is a walk to downtown cefalu but we enjoyed the walk plus it’s good for you! Breakfast is included which is a very nice perk. We would stay here again!

Location was quite a walk from the main beaches. The hotel has a beach, but charges to use it and it is quite small. I recommend that you walk down to the large beaches. You need to pay a fee for the umbrella and lounger, but the beach is beyter and has more amenities. Our bathroom smelled like sewage that they tried to cover with deoderizer. Maybe the seals under the toilet or bidet need to be replaced. There was no hot water for two of the three days we stayed. The room had a bunkbead for children, but some parts were held together with zip ties, instead of bolts. There was no view from the room we srayed in.
