Un bel environnement pour un prix excessif
Pros:

La situation de l’hôtel dans un cadre très beau et suggestif, belle piscine

Cons:

La chambre sentait l’humidité car partiellement enterrée, sans fenêtre ni balcon. La source de lumière est la porte d’entrée vitrée qui donne sur un espace ouvert à la vue des voisins.
Mobilier et ambiance de la chambre basiques
Malgré la beauté du lieu et des services, l’hôtel ne vaut pas son prix

Pros:

The resort was beautiful. We loved the beach. The bar by the pool was fantastic to sit and watch the sun set. Gorgeous grounds. The rooms are a good size. Breakfast was delicious!

Cons:

It's a little remote, 20 minutes to Cefalu by taxi.
It would be good if the hotel offered more shuttle services in and out of town.

Jederzeit wieder! Wunderschöner Aufenthalt!
Pros:

Wunderschöne Aussicht! Die Anlage liegt auf einem Felsen und die Aussicht ist spektakulär! Tolle Restaurants und sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal! Besonders Ana und Antonio an der Rezeption, Anamaria und Ana Paulina sind uns ans Herz gewachsen!

Cons:

Manche Bereiche sind etwas in die Jahre gekommen…. Im Sushi Restaurant wäre es sinnvoll die Karte mit Bildern zu erweitern…

An enjoyable stay on the whole and one I can recommend especially for young families.
Pros:

The large gardens with open views. The helpfulness of the staff to help out with anything we needed.

Cons:

It’s a large resort set on terraces, this involves a lot of walking and a lot of stairs to get from one place to another. It’s fine I’m general, but not recommended for any one that may not be as fit as they should be. Staff could have given us more helpful info at the start, upon arrival.
