Good location, within walking distance to town, shopping, and restaurants. Lovely view of the water, and good breakfast. The pool was good with lots of sunny areas to relax. The room was just ok - it took almost all day for housekeeping to come refresh the room, and it wasn't in the cleanest condition.

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.
