Cefalu Sea Palace

Just read a reply by staff to another reviewer I too have stayed there There are no kettles available as they do not allow them in the room so that is untrue Secondly the brown cover over the one sheet is a horrid cheap uncomfortable material My sheet was also changed once And concerning the rooftop restaurant yes it is open till 10 but after that it is getting cleaned so hence tables and chairs getting moved Again 6 am staff getting tables ready my partner and i also had disturbed sleep for a week Cleaning staff really friendly Pity the other staff are not especially the smallish man with glasses that works on reception at weekends very rude and miserable This is not a 4 star hotel More like a 2 or 3

No tea making facilities nor water to drink if you want any tea coffee ,water you have to go down to the bar area on the bottom floor and pay for them We where there for 1 week the bed was changed once not a superior room id say basic , Room nice and clean Had a so called superior room On 3 rd floor underneath roof top restaurant chairs and tables getting moved till nearly 12 at night then again at 6 in the morning Hardly got any sleep Beds comfy but beginning of week weather was really cold They only supply 1 sheet And a coverover that was like cardboard Theres no way this is a 4 star hotel more like a 2 star

Wonderful experience at this very clean and well appointed hotel. We were warmly welcomed by Danielle who impressed us with his hospitality, friendly service and knowledge of the area. The room was very clean, comfy bed and nice, large bathroom. We enjoyed a pretty view of the sea on our balcony. Breakfast and dinner in the rooftop restaurant was excellent. The views from there are absolutely beautiful. Try to catch a sunset. Easy walk to all the sites and shops. All of the hotel team we encountered were very nice. Highly recommend.

We were pleasantly surprised having read some of the reviews. The hotel is better than it looks. In April it is relatively quiet. It is a short walk to the old town and some very nice, reasonably priced restaurants. The hotel rooms are clean and reasonable. We could have done with more and better toiletries. It it was cleaned to a high standard and our room had a good view of the old town and the sea. The beds were comfortable, though only one pillow each was a bit stingy. Breakfast was ok. The coffee was good, as were the pastries. There was a selection of fruit and omelettes were freshly prepared for those who wanted them. The restaurant area on the roof provides stunning views, particularly at sunset. Dinner was reasonably priced by uk standards and was pleasant with good service though choice was quite limited. It seems popular with local families. The bar area indoors is limited but the bar staff are lovely, as was every member of hotel staff we met. The pool area is clean and welcoming after a day of sightseeing. We stayed 3 nights, any longer and I think the room would have been a bit basic but for the time we were there it was pleasant.

We arrived in the dark at 22.30 and we were welcomed on the steps and our cases brought in. There was a table set for us and we had with a superb cold meal. Our room was spotless, the bed was comfortable and it was wonderful to wake up the next morning and see the sea from the bed. The next great moment was going to breakfast in the rooftop restaurant and seeing Cefalu and the beach! The choice of food was excellent - cold buffet, freshly cooked eggs and bacon by the chef, a great selection of cakes and pastries and variety of coffees. You could not wish for more. Going out the front door is the sea and private beach area for the hotel. Very peaceful as no large vehicles are allowed. The walk into the Cefalu town is a pleasant ten minute stroll along the side of the sea. The town is itself is amazing with delightful old buildings and tiny streets, so many to explore. Street food is good and ice cream choices are incredible, even gluten and lacto free. We had dinner each night in the hotel and every night the meal was excellent with a good choice of food and again in the rooftop restaurant - all the tables are set out spaciously. Every member of staff was very pleasant and helpful and friendly. The pool area was lovely to sit in and snacks and drinks readily available there. We had an excellent holiday and have already booked to go the Sea Palace again this year! Thank you everyone! We travelled withJet2 for the first time and had excellent service from booking to very helpful staff at the airport. We only want to travel with them now!
