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.

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!

3star

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!

Friendly staff and walkable to the attractions. We could park the car before check-in. Although additional charges are required almost everything, such as parking, access to the private beach, beach towel and bottle of water, the staff explained clearly and we enjoyed the time at the beach.
