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.

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.
