Seashore & Sunlight at our door
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay here, room was a good size, sea view, staff very helpful on check in and other questions we had. Beautiful restaurant that had breakfast lunch and dinner service. It’s an easy walk to the old city with many shops and eateries there as well.

Cons:

Nothing

Für das Gebotene zu teuer
Pros:

Zimmer und Balkon mit Blick aufs Meer und auf Cefalu. Fröhliche Farben im Bad. Gutes Frühstück auf der Hotelterrasse. Kostenloses Parken auf einem Großparkplatz neben dem Hotel.

Cons:

Für ein 4*-Hotel waren Zimmer und Bad relativ klein. Es gab eine gefüllte Minibar mit dem Hinweis, dass keine Getränke von außerhalb mitgebracht werden dürfen. Zum Nachfüllen der Minibar wurde auf die Hotelbar verwiesen, die aber zwischen 21 und 22 Uhr schließt und ansonsten Getränke nur glasweise ausschenkt. Guter Service fühlt sich anders an.
Der früher sehr attraktive Badestrand von Cefalu ist inzwischen dermaßen überfüllt, dass das Baden keinen Spaß mehr macht. Dafür kann das Hotel natürlich nichts.

Pros:

Short distance to the beach, great sea view

Cons:

Need more improvement… The furniture in the room should be replaced with new one, the capability to bring the suitcase in the lobby . Very small elevator, some of the stuff in the dining room area are not very polite with the guest.

Pros:

It is a good "old school" hotel, with retro style interior and furniture, but we liked it. It located right at the beachfront and next to it is big parking lot which is free of charge! (very useful if you have rental car).

Cons:

No complaints!

Pros:

La décoration « vintage » qui change de celle des établissements actuels qui se ressemblent tous. L’amabilité des personnels et sa situation géographique sur Lungomare à proximité du centre de Cefalù…

Cons:

Je n’ai pas de remarque à faire
