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.

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

We booked an all inclusive week in this hotel, it was absolutely fantastic!
The food was great ( buffet ) the staff very friendly and the hotel was spotless.
Our room was very large with a good size balcony.
The hotel has been designed incorporating fauna at every possible area, on the roof on every floor out on the terrace etc.
At first it looks as if they overdid the plants, but once settled you really appreciate it, with birds singing everywhere.
It has a large swimming pool, beach area with sunbeds, outside seating area for tea, drinks, and peace and quite.
There is a wellness area up on the roof with a swimming pool out in the open, including an open area garden!
I really can't fault this hotel, however it was October that we went, so it might get busy in the summer.
The weather was around 25 degrees for the whole week.
The only drawback is that you can't go anywhere to walk as it's isolated and cut off by motorways.
The hotel does offer shuttle buses to various destinations which have to be paid for, and times are a bit ristricted for coming back, taxis are expensive.

If you enjoy all inclusive holidays give this hotel a miss, e.g.
Waiters will only get drinks for paying customers All inc. customers have to get their own drinks.
At the bar they only serve All inc. customer in plastic glasses when you ask for a glass you get a remark and a pointed finger to the All inc. wrist band "No".
At lunch time at the pool/beach bar the only choice we had was sandwiches although there was a nice selection for paying customers.
Afternoon tea and cakes, coffee was free but not cakes unless you want to pay.
This was the first time I have experienced this with an All inclusive package, I will certainly not be going back to this hotel.
I did contact the travel agent TUI both the local shop and head office but the but neither bothered to contact me.
