Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers views overlooking the sea and a private beach, especially beautiful at sunrise. The rooms are old-fashioned and in need of refurbishment, with poor lighting in the bathrooms, small showers, and towels showing some stains. The service is friendly, efficient, and attentive. The location is great, with a lovely cove for swimming and a short walk to Cefalu for dining options. The dining experience, while chaotic, offers early breakfast options. The facilities include a terrace for breakfast with a view.
I had a comfortable stay at the hotel, although it was a bit far from the facilities. The shower in the room was great, and the location was good for snorkeling and swimming. The service was kind and helpful, making the experience enjoyable.
The hotel has a good potential for a short stay, but the rooms felt a bit cramped possibly due to maximizing space. Although the location is nice, it is a bit far from stores and the city center. The dining options are varied and international, but the beach towels were not replaced daily.
The hotel has a convenient location away from the main town, making it great for a quiet stay. The rooms are comfortable and bright, although poorly decorated. The service is wonderful and accommodating. The dining experience could be improved to offer better value for money. The large pool is a highlight for a relaxing swim.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with amazing views of the Sicilian coastline from my room that was spacious and comfortable, although a bit on the smaller side. The service was welcoming and offered a multilingual experience, except for a few areas that needed upgrading. The location was spectacular, just a short walk from downtown Cefalù, although it could have been even better with improved upkeep. The dining experience was supreme with access to the warm sea but had some disappointments regarding the pricing. Overall, a great value for money stay with a few minor drawbacks.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were clean and comfortable with stunning views, they seemed in need of some updating. The service was friendly and accommodating, but paying for sunbeds by the pool was a downside. The location was beautiful overlooking the sea but a bit far from stores. The dining was delicious with a variety of options, although the wait time for certain items was a letdown.
