“Sea front hotel on quiet esplanade with first class dining”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2010

I took a party of 14 and stayed seven days. The rooms were comfortable, mostly having sea views, some with sea facing balconies. On street parking outside. Own pool and private beach area. Staff very friendly, welcoming, efficient and caring. Food provided, even as a pre-booked group, was surprisingly plentiful, appetizing, varied and original. Special diets were catered for at a moments notice. Comfortable lounge area where entertainment is occasionally provided. A party atmosphere prevails.

“Service made up for the shortcomings in quality”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 April 2010
2
people found this review helpful

Mind you we were there in the beginning of the tourist season, but still the closed pool area was in the beginning a disappointment. When we asked the staff where we could sunbathe - they organised sun lounges by the (empty but clean) pool.
We didn't hear any building noise even though the other side of the hotel was obviously being upgraded.
Breakfast was plenty and nicely laid out.
Staff just couldn't so enough for you.

downside for us was the long distance to the town - but had we been there later on in the year, the open air club next door might have proven to be the real problem.

all in all, it's a nice 2** hotel in process of upgrading. value for money was good so. all in all just what you'd expect for the money we paid.

“NOT WORTH THE HIGH PPRICE”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2009
1
person found this review helpful

We traveled in Sicily for 2 weeks staying in nice hotels rated at around $100-120 and were never disappointed except
here in Tourist:
1. service poor: nobody to help with luggage
2.room in poor state: the outside blinds were BROKEN and could not be closed
3. the maintenace of the room is disastrous: paint, ventilation, and so on.
We certainly do not recommend such a poor quality hotel at such a high price.

Hotel is a classic two star hotel. Nothing of special. Rooms are old with holes in the wall.
All staff are not so educate and in the morning cry around the rooms, impossible sleep after 8 am.
Beach is not ok and full of rocks. Others Cefalù Beach is fantastic.
Normal Breackfast but nothing of excellent. Restaurant is ok in particular on Saturday Night.
Price is too high for the service.
Parking is always full.
