Cefalù hotels near Cefalu Beach

Pros: The staff were excellent and always happy to help and the facilities of the hotel were great. I had a facial done and it was super relaxing highly recommend! Breakfast was delicious with plenty of options to choose from. The pool was beautiful with loads of comfortable chairs. David looked after us so well at the bar, thank you. There is a van that takes guests to the hotels private beach where you get towels and chairs at no extra cost. Cefalu centre has plenty of bars, restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay again at this hotel!

Cons: Two nights during our stay we didn't have hot water, it came back later that day and reception did offer us to move rooms. The laundry took 48 hours to return our clothing which was a bit inconvenient. We stayed at room 104 and we are sure there was a leak somewhere as the floor was wet one morning.

Pros: Great breakfast. Great views from restaurant. Good shuttle service to town and beach. Lovely plantings, and lovely decor in hallways and outside....antiques, etc. Very nice bubbling massage in attractive pool. Quiet location away from town and beach.

Cons: Pool is shallow, without a deeper end. Lobby decor is not as nice as the hallways, restaurant and outside antique decorative elements.

Pros: Swimming pool and common areas of hotel were very nice Breakfast was good as was commitment to little plastic and local food. Reasonably quiet Bed was very comfortable

Cons: Surrounding area is not very attractive - could have been made clearer Rooms are very small - even prestige one Bathroom was tiny. Very expensive for calibre of room

Pros: The hotel is beautiful, the surroundings as well. The hotel has so many green and beautiful views to the beach that you feel joy and relax. The dinner at the hotel very good. The pool is a top. I want to return.

Cons: The shower tended to leak into the floor so all the bathroom was wet. That would be the only thing we recommend to check.

Pros: Shuttle services to the town and beach are included. However, the last service is quite early at 18:40. The location is otherwise a 20-25 minutes walk from the city center

Cons: Unreasonably overpriced compared to its sister Hotel Le Calette

Pros: Exceptional customer service, they couldn’t have been more helpful. Hotel, rooms, gardens and pool kept sparklingly clean, and the choice at breakfast was amazing. To top it off there’s a private beach with sun loungers included, and free minibus transfers there or into the old town. A thoroughly pleasant and relaxing stay, and all the staff there should be very proud of the high quality service they provide to their guests.

Pros: Better than expected and surprisingly good for value

Pros: Great location, fantastic facilities and friendly and welcoming staff. Angela at the front desk when we checked in was fantastic, she made us feel like we were at home.

Pros: From the moment we approached the front desk and were greeted by Angela and shown to our room we knew this hotel was special. Cannot fault anything. The staff were attentive, the room clean, Eco friendly, location perfect, pool area and surrounds serene and the restaurant served tasty a la carte Sicilian cuisine. The staff at the Restaurant were attentive our waiter for the evening Gaetano was very knowledgeable about the wine list and we enjoyed a beautiful bottle of Nero D’avlo with our dinner. Upon learning it was my Birthday the staff surprised me with a Birthday Cake. We would definitely be recommending this hotel to family and friends and if we get a chance to visit Cefalu again this is were we will be staying. Thank you so much Angela and all the staff for making our stay a memorable one.

Pros: Breakfast was good and staff were nice

Cons: The place needs renovation. Our room was old with a very tiny shower. The hot water kept coming and going while taking a shower. For the price we paid, we expected for more...

Pros: Beautiful, great pool and private beach access and sun beds. The room was lovely. Friendly staff.

Cons: The air con want strong enough for the hot days and nights. In Saturday night they have a club night near our room and it was s very loud and we could not sleep.

Pros: - The architecture, design and location of the Hotel are just outstanding. The nature surrounding the hotel is seriously from another planet: mountains, woods, open sea view. Then gardens across the hotel are also impressive. - The breakfast was one of the best ones I had in a hotel. - The location is at 5 minutes distance by car from the historical part of Cefalu

Cons: We had found the restaurant for lunch time a little bit over price and not of very good quality. Mainly comparing with the very high level restaurants we found in the City of Cefalu. The dishes were not abundant (one day I asked for a pasta and I believe had to little prawns only inside) and choices were not our style (trying things I ended up by mistake asking for a soy pasta that looked more to chinese nooddle, extremely wired for Sicily). I believe that setting is much more ready for drinks in the night rather than for full eating. However, a higher quality restaurant could enrich the premises of the hotel.

Pros: Good views of the bay, good pool

Cons: Garden villas are very dated, worst of all is the smell of damp. For the price we paid (albeit in August), this was pretty bad. Relieved we didn’t commit to more than 1 night.

Pros: The hotel and grounds were really well designed with lots of different places to relax, sit by the sea and enjoy a view. It never seemed too busy or crowded (probably because the grounds were so nice). Our room was very modern, clean and spacious and felt very private. I never sleep well on holiday but the bed was very comfy, curtains to keep the room dark and quiet. Breakfast was served in a beautiful spot and had everything you could want. Great location, only a 10-15 minute walk into Cefalu - which is fantastic for food, drink and exploring.

Cons: Prices for drinks and food was quite expensive (to be expected) but it's not far from Cefalu with lots of choice for food and drinks. Service at breakfast was quite slow in terms of replenishing plates, food but a very minor complaint.

Pros: Breakfast on the terrace is great, the views lovely and a good choice of food is available. The pool is great too and if you fancy a dip in the sea there are plenty of sunbeds available right by the beach. The staff at reception are really helpful. It's about 80-90 minutes drive from Palermo airport and free parking is available on site.

Cons: We stayed in a family room a little away from the main hotel. It was nice, however both our bathrooms (we had two) were a little dated in terms of tiling and furniture. Not a huge negative but the bathrooms were not to the standard of the rest of the hotel. The walk into town will not be to everyone's taste I imagine. You do walk through a very small industrial area and then up a hill. We did it every day, but town is a 10 - 12 minute walk and it's hot (hopefully), so be aware if you don't mind breaking into a light sweat. The shuttle goes a little too early in the evening if you like dining around 8pm +. Again this is not a big negative in my view. Taxis are available at about €10 each way.

Pros: Very private yet close to town. Amazing pool and private beach access

Pros: Everything. It was amazing.

Cons: Nothing. It was absolutely perfect!!

Pros: The Cove was beautiful and the views from the pool were magnificent. The shuttle was a gd facility into town.

Cons: We were charged additionally per night for a bed for our child in a family room. Considering the initial price this was disappointing. The Garden room had an any infestation and was small. We were also charged for any extras, to do yoga, use a bike or go out on a paddle board or Kayak. All other 5stars we have stayed at provide these facilities for free. The hotel has no gym onsite and for a 5 star hotel this is disappointing. With my family I did not want to travel to another site. Although the hotel provides a shuttle into Cefalù it finishes at 18:20 in the evening and some parts of the walk home are not pleasant if you were alone.

Pros: Loved everything about it!! High level of professional service, gorgeous facilities and backdrop, amazing views, beautiful pool and beach area- lovely breakfast lunch and dinner options and setting! We stayed in a small villa( 417) and loved everything about it! Would go back and/or recommend it in a heartbeat!

Cons: Not a thing. It’s a short 5-10 mi Ute cab ride to town (10 euros each day) but nice to be away and also the beach area backdrop of the coves is spectacular.

Pros: Location is excellent.Seafood salat is the best one salat I have eat during the trip

Cons: Waiting very very long time for you my dinner，nobody help me to order even after I call them and several times

Pros: Private beach and the restaurant view were amazing. Restaurant & beach staffs were very nice and friendly.

Cons: I paid extra so my friend can stay with me for 2 nights. Everything was sorted when we first checked in. However, the front desk called and tell us to check out the next morning as they didn't even communicate to each other. We had to explain to them again which was frustrating. The pillows and bed were uncomfortable which cause me to have a neck and back pain.

Pros: The sea view

Cons: Reception was awful. It was as if they didn’t want to be there. So unhelpful, they even told us we should go to the bar when we asked for a bottle of still water as room service. We asked where to rent a boat, they told us ‘not sure, maybe down the road’. We asked about tennis court booking they just said ‘its booked, not available’, not even service with a smile letting us know about available slots. The coffee in the morning was luke warm, thank goodness the sea view saved the day. The room was the first room on 1st floor by hotel entrance, which unfortunately was nearest to the kitchen so when we went out on the balcony in the morning, it smelled like grease which is definitely NOT what you want to smell first thing in the morning. The view was also on the car park, not quite the sea view that was advertised dear booking.com. Oh and there is no sand by the way, rocky tarmac down the steps, better hurry to get a sunlounger. The photo advertised of the white balcony/tarpaulin with the sunset, Ha! It was the ‘massage area’ with a massive rusty anchor right in front definitely NOT the place to relax but good use of wide angle camera guys. The masseuse? A short stubby looking guy sitting on the step on his phone constantly waiting for clients, no offence but not the kind of person you associate with a wonderful and soothing massage. Might be stereotyping but someone touching a client’s body with his hands should also look the part, again another case of NO professionalism nor business sense.

Pros: positionwas good too heavily geared to Germans

Cons: room was dated .low roof

Pros: Very nice place, but very noisy... the only default I did find :)

Cons: the rooms are not insulated

Pros: Location is perfect Nestled between two cliffs Rocky beach but enjoyable with absolute clear water Canoes available Beautiful location to spend time

Cons: Food

Pros: The excellent choice at breakfast- all freshly made! Courteous staff! Large clean pool area, well cared for daily by the lifeguard.

Cons: Nothing to add! All excellent!

Pros: The beach and the restaurant

Cons: The rooms are in need of urgent renovation.

Pros: The hotel beach is beautiful, as is the location. Breakfast was always fresh and abundant. Don’t forget to book a massage with Michaele!

Cons: If staying at an apartment, check the hot water is turned on when you get there. The apartment was dated but that was to be expected in Italy.

Pros: The view, a very good pool, comfortable room, free parking and helpful staff in reception .

Cons: Always felt rushed in the restaurant it was more like a holiday camp than an hotel restaurant. Had to set your own table at breakfast,rather chaotic.

Pros: Nice views and beach to relax and swim

Cons: Very overpriced for the quality of the stay. The hotel is very outdated with poor taste in decoration and a very old and impractical elevator. The hotel looks a lot worse than in the pictures on booking.com. We had a superior room (more expensive) with a hole in the ceiling as they did not finish renovations. The staff was not very competent and not responsive. Hotel restaurant was overpriced for the quality of the food, even with the included breakfast with bad coffee considering this is Sicily.

Cons: Party in the hotel not informing guests :( Disco next to the hotel

Pros: Close to the sea, free parking, they made room avalable one hout earlier

Cons: Wifi in the room not very dtable

Pros: Location is great & in good reach of restaurants , bars , ect.

Cons: Hotel is outdated & needs a good refurbishment, cost wise stay was also on the high end and we did expected something better.

Pros: Quiet place, breakfast included.

Cons: Bad smell in 2 out of 3 rooms when air conditioning was on. Air conditioning not working properly in 1/3 rooms

Pros: Breakfast was excellent and plentiful Excellent pool and close to beach and the old town of Cefalu I would classify it as a 3 to 3.5 star Hotel

Cons: I feel the only thing was that I would like to see more white new towels in bathrooms would freshen up the bathroom

Pros: Location was great, across the road from the beach, 15min easy walk into town along the beach promenade. It was much quieter than in town which was good too. The hotel has a private beach across the road. Great for swimming! Also, a huge swimming pool which our kids enjoyed. Had lunch in the hotel restaurant when we arrived and the food was fantastic! Staff on reception were very friendly.

Cons: The hotel interior is very old and dated. We were on the 2nd floor and the hall way to our room smelt bad! Our family room was ok with a nice balcony overlooking the pool. Beds were comfortable but everything was old, dated and not very clean. Towels and pillows had seen better days. We tried to use the Aircon at night but couldn’t as when it was on there was the most revolting sewage type smell coming from the unit. We initially thought it was the plumbing bit quickly worked out the smell disappeared when the aircon was turned off. We notified the staff after our 1 night stay so hopefully the issue will be fixed. Restaurant staff were not very friendly and the breakfast was limited and really not that great compared to all the other places we’ve stayed in Sicily.

Pros: The location and the beach access Helpful staff and management

Cons: Mattresses were not comfortable at all ! Under the mattress it was super Dirty

Pros: We had a huge room with a nice view on the beach. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and recommend this place to other tourists.

Pros: Just love Hotel Tourist. Perfect pool, rooms, beach, location and staff...especially Marco. Thanks

Cons: All great

Pros: The location, not too close, not too far from Cefalù

Pros: I liked the hotel itself very much. For anyone arriving in or leaving Cefalù by train it is ideally placed. Despite its closeness to the station, it is quiet. It has a very pleasant and relaxing lounge area and throughout the hotel there is an very fine series of paintings of Cefalù by gathering same artist, which gives it a distinctive appearance. The staff are first class in every way.

Cons: No suggestions

Cons: Facilities need updating.

Pros: Staff very helpful and very kind.

Cons: I know I reserved an individual room, but, the room was very humid and the smell was horrible. I didnt care because it was just 1 night, but they need to consider open AC or windows even if the room has not been occupied for a long time. Staff was the best

Pros: The people running the place and especially the people working there made our stay a stay to remember! Ranging from the nice owners to the helpful guy at the reception, always willing to help with a huge smile - even at inhumane times at night. To the cleaning lady who was postponing her cleaning session every morning for us, yet leaving the nicest and cleanest room for us every day. And to the lady who brought us coffee for breakfast even tho we arrived late every morning, always smiling. All these people made this hotel an amazing place to stay at. And even if u spend most of the day out (what we did basically) - every day starts with a breakfast and ends in a comfortable bed after all. Some other facts: The location was amazing too (cheap pizza fast food place close by - opens till 12 midnight), main station 1 min walk, beach 4/5 min walk, city centre 10-12 min walk. Highly recommended !

Pros: Helpful and friendly staff, balcony to hang wash, nearby grocer.

Cons: No cups in bathroom and an extra trash can would have been nice.

Pros: Free parking and good location; an easy 5 minute walk to shops, restaurants and beach; and the centre of town is just 10 minutes further on; the room was quiet, clean, comfortable with a/c and fridge; buffet breakfast with plenty of choices; the staff were very welcoming and helpful.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Staff

Pros: Three streets away from the beach. Free parking. Right infront of train station and accessible to restaurants and shops.

Cons: Bathroom and shower are too small. Our neighbors were too loud, slamming doors and shouting, we literally watched the TV series with them. No proper quiet hours were reinforced.

Pros: Excellent location. Exemplary cleanliness and very friendly and helpful staff.

Pros: The hotel was good value for money. We chose it because it was near the railway station as we were arriving by train from Palermo. However it is very well located as it is only five minutes walk to the start of the old town and ten minutes to the seafront, beach and promenade.

Cons: Nothing. It was good value for money.

Pros: Good localisation Nice personal

Cons: No luggage room Old shower

Pros: The beach is good but no close the hotel

Cons: The staff is rude to the old rooms are dirty with the breakfast intolerable from the technical conditions picture of the

Pros: Breakfast was good. Location also for about a 20 walk to Cefalu town. Food as part of the wedding was excellent.

Cons: Very underwhelmed with this hotel. We stayed there for a wedding which itself was amazing. We arrived with staff appeared to be rushed off their feet and therefore lacking with customer service. The room itself had an amazing view which was probably the only thing going for it. Extremely dated, caked in dust under the bed, what appeared to be sheets and tablecloth put out as a towel. The bed linen had a scratchy fleece and a top sheet which was unpleasant to sleep with so we stripped these and used only the sheet. The toilet seat was unstable to sit on and the bath plug didn't work; my wife was looking forward to having one at some point and when she replaced the plug, she nearly vomitted with the hair and tissue clogging the plughole. Bin wasn't emptied from previous guests. We only stayed in this hotel as this was the venue of the wedding on the roof terrace and we also didn't get the 10% discount promised as being guests of the wedding when asked. Staying in a variety of places across Sicily during our trip we found places that were MUCH more modern, cost about 75% less than this hotel and with great service. Don't even get me started on the strange ticketing service in the cafe area....

Pros: The view

Cons: The bathroom was not clean enough

Pros: Steps and finding the room were a problem.

Cons: Staff not very helpful at reception. Room maid was very good and made great effort to speak English. No one else did!! Winding halls to rooms very confusing.

Pros: Room was comfortable, wifi had good connection. Bus stop to town nearby. Cafe on-site great with extensive choice.

Cons: Evening dinner options limited to buffet & not a-la-carte which was limiting. Local bus service unreliable & city restaurants diffucult to get to at night due to local bus service issue. Hotel resort of this size could have provided evening shuttle service for impaired but didn't. Hotel beach remote & inaccessible to impared

Cons: The check-in was a nightmare same as the check-out. The bill was not matching with the amount t we've paid at the check-in, we wasted a lot of time to sort it out. The breakfast was served very early and it was very poor. There is no bar in the swimming pool it is upstairs far away . The plumbing maintenance was very poor, the shower handle fell off during I was taking a shower .

Pros: Location was good, easy to access the town of Cefalu. Maid staff were lovely.

Cons: The hotel was in two sections, it took two seperate lifts or flights of stairs to access our room. Our room was shabby, the aircon was very tempermental, the shower head was broken. The lift stopped working for a whole day. The coridors in our section of the hotel were badly lit and filthy. The food was awful. The floors were wet and we witnessed an accident where an elderly lady slipped and cracked her skull.

Pros: BREAKFAST is disgusting. every day the same thing, coffee, juice is not coffee and not juice. The restaurant on the first floor is great, real coffee and good ice cream, I recommend it. The whole hotel is clean perosnel is nice.

Cons: Breakfast

Pros: I liked it because the hotel had parking spaces. The room had a sea view, and the beds were comfortable.

Cons: None

Pros: Great location. Easy walk into Cefalu. Fabulous staff. Santa Lucia cafe attached absolutely buzzing. Great arancine!!! Excellent short stay in Cefalu. Highly recommended.

Cons: A short stay so nothing bothered us.
