I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were quite spacious with a balcony overlooking the beach, but the outdated amenities were a letdown. The service was top-notch with friendly and helpful staff, although there were apologies for the manager's behavior. The location was convenient, being close to the sea and the old town, although not particularly scenic. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially the great coffee. However, the price could have been more competitive.

The hotel really brought back memories of Italy with its charming atmosphere for a lovely stay but unfortunately the service left a lot to be desired. The location, though fantastic, was marred by loud noises from the neighboring facilities.

We had some issues with the service, which made our stay disappointing and upsetting. Etiquette seemed lacking, especially when it came to a misunderstanding with the manager.

Location

The hotel is really good, a few minutes away from the old town and a fabulous sandy beach perfect for swimming.

Dining

The dining experience was not up to par with poor options and a slightly claustrophobic atmosphere. On a brighter note, the healthy salads were a good start to the day.

Staying at this hotel was a real treat with its balcony overlooking the sea, watching the stunning Cefalu sunset was truly amazing. The room was a little larger but felt stuffy at times. The price that includes your children is a great deal.

I loved having a balcony overlooking the sea, and watching the sunset in Cefalu was breathtaking. The room, although spacious, could get a bit stuffy at times. The price that includes your children is a fantastic offer.

The staff was extra helpful with directions, locations, and ideas. At breakfast, they were attentive. However, there was an incident where they tried to charge us for drinks we never received.

Location

9.0

The hotel is conveniently located within a few minutes of the old town, but being reserved for hotel guests could lead to some inconvenience especially at night when needing to use the bathroom. The fact that it has parking is a big plus.

Dining

7.0

The dining experience was great with beautifully presented and delicious food. However, there were some disappointing aspects. The breakfast options were limited, resembling most of Europe's offerings.

Facilities

The hotel offers a good range of facilities including room service, car hire, dry cleaning, and laundry services. However, some services are charged extra, like the airport shuttle.
