Cefalu Coast Kid friendly Holidays

I am not one to write reviews, but I feel like I could probably help someone if they are on the fence on this hotel. I was here with my family which includes a 4 year old and 9 year old. Pros- The location is great. Just a little outside of the city. The access to the ocean and view is perfect. Even better than La callette which we also stayed at. The rooms were clean and the breakfast was great. Cons- The lobby staff was nice depending on who you got. The restaurant staff on the other hand was very cold and it felt as though they did not want us there. I am sure they are tired of tourists, but I am an Italian native that only spoke italian to them and it still felt like we were a burden to be there. It was extremely unwelcoming. The pool and tennis area was extremely dated and dirty. They made you pay to use the tennis court which was a laugh because no one ever used it and it was run down to the ground. Overall I probably would not stay here again sadly. If you dont care about how you are treated and only there for the view and water then it's fine. Again the breakfast was excellent as well. And the views from the rooms were also amazing.

A very beautiful, peaceful and welcoming oasis that is perfect if you want to rest, relax, be surrounded by picturesque views and be looked after by friendly, professional & attentive staff ... it was exactly what we needed and would highly recommend. Close enough with a gentle walk into the old town but you could also stay very comfortably put in the lovely and wonderfully designed hotel and it's out door areas - the pool area was spotless, never busy and the food at the al fresco bar tables for lunch was delicious & very reasonably priced. The terraced double beach beds, again never busy, nothing was too much trouble and the restaurant for lunch there (although pricier) was utterly delicious too! The piano bar at night had the most amazing pianist who delighted with his skilled, beautiful and very heartfelt playing ... everyone we encountered from the reception to all of the other areas of the resort we couldn't fault the service and attention to detail ... a gem of a place!

Expedia needs to remove pick up arrangements provided because l asked to be picked up from train and owner said he does not provide pick up and said to take a taxi.

It was ok. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There was a lot of noise strating at 8 am from construction. It is a 20 min walk from the hotel to the downtown area. They are amazing and schedule the taxi for you if needed.

Amazing view on a hill behind the city overlooking the sea. Francesco was a great host and always happy to provide suggestions for restaurants and even parking tips for town. Great home cooked breakfast in the morning and friendly dogs!
