About the location
Holidays in Cefalu give you a microcosm of the best of
Italy. Whatever attracts you to Sicily, or even the beautiful country itself, you’ll find it in this coastal town whose character greatly overcomes its modest size. Whether you’re looking for modern metropolitan culture, to explore absorbing historical heritage or simply to settle in for long sun drenched days on luxurious beaches living the true la dolce vita, Cefalu has it all.
Situated on Sicily’s Tyrrhenian coast a short way east of Palermo and in the shade of the large headland La Rocca, Cefalu holidays offer something for families, couples and adventurers. From the imposingly grand Cathedral to the ancient Roman Baths there is no shortage of sightseeing opportunities, while families with younger children will love the long golden sandy beach. Couples will adore a leisurely romantic stroll through the cobblestone streets or walk to the top of La Rocca to take in an idyllic sunset before heading back into town and dinner at one of Cefalu’s many fine restaurants.

We had an amazing stay at Acacia and what made it special was people...every single member of the staff at the resort. Our special thanks to Giuseppe and Alex on the animation team, Alberto from the restaurant, the bar staff during the evening whose names we failed to enquire and the lovely evening lounge entertainer.
1. Location - It???s not near to town centre, however you can travel to Cefalu by taxi and enjoy the day or evening out there.
2. Sea - The seaside is pebbly and rocky, however we enjoyed our walks and there are couple of sandy lido???s within 30-45 min walk.
3. Rooms - were clean with nice views, they don???t have tea/coffee machines but it wasn???t a problem for us.
4. Food and Drinks - The restaurant was good and we enjoyed the food, especially fish and vegetables. It was typical four course with daily variations.

Driving into this Resort was magical, such a Tropical Setting and relaxing feel about it before we even got off the Bus.
The Resort has a Huge area of swimming pool and entertainment throughout the day and night.
The dining room has sooo much food to pick from very delicious.
The Wellness Centre is situated on the Second Floor and with sweeping view of the sea, it is a magnificent place to have a massage and relax totally.
Highly recommended as it is situated right on the Beach, so you can swim in the Sea or the fabulous pool.
I would like to go back and enjoy it again.

As far as it goes, this hotel is OK at best but there are some serious downsides. The location is in the middle of nowhere - it's a typical all-inclusive place (that is, you could be anywhere in the world and they try to keep you there so they get all your spending money). The private beach is small and packed with sun loungers so you can't even enjoy a walk along it. The food was basic - a buffet every night of essentially the same fare, which wasn't topped up, so you had to be prompt going into dinner if you wanted to get a meal. The 'entertainment' after dinner was appalling - the worst type of lounge singer (it reminded me of a 1970's holiday camp atmosphere) - which you couldn't get away from if you just wanted a quite drink & conversation. Overall - don't go there if you want to see the real Italy.

Ok so I???m not some expert on hotels but I thought to write about this one because it was so amazing.
Bedrooms:
The superior rooms were spacious and we had a really nice balcony. For the first time ever the bath wasn???t peeling off. The beds were quite comfortable. The tv has HDMI so I could plug my fire stick in. The WiFi was perfect for such a big hotel as I could still stream videos. There was a nice desk area for people on business or in my case to hold items for the day.
Although we did have a room mixup and was placed into an economy room when we arrived but that got changed instantly.
Activities:
There is an amazing (yet freezing)???lagoon??? that I really enjoyed. The private beach was a little small but it was still really nice to relax on. I guess because we stayed when they were out of season (summer) there wasn???t a lot going on for Children. So I recommend if your a family with kids go in summer time. However if you want to go in a calm hotel with barely anyone I???d say go in April/October because this is the start and end of their opening times. Although there is shuttle buses that travel to towns and villages and they pick you up later in the day so there is no worry of trying to get back. If you want to stay out longer you can always get a taxi. The fares are pretty cheap.
Food:
I thought the food was very good as there was a lot of selection some area to more English customers. Although some other visitors were saying they didn???t like it. Breakfast lunch and dinner were overall 4/5. Try the ice cream!
Staff:
Staff is mostly what makes this a 5/5
The staff were interactive,helpful and pleasant to be around. Especially the bar and reception staff. We even got to learn some Italian
