Hotel Baia Del Capitano

The terrace view was awesome, and you can enjoy dinner while looking out at the sea and nearby cities. The hotel presents itself very well, is super organized, and has friendly, professional staff. Adam was polite and accommodating with our requests. The room decor could be better, but that's only an extra. It's pet friendly, so we could bring Freddie, our little Toy Poodle, and enjoy Mazzaforno and Cafelù, just 10 min away by car. Well done 👏🏻

A charming, secluded place with a warm atmosphere, and the daily cleaning was perfect. There's no store nearby to buy water, which is the one drawback. But for 1.50-20 euro, you can quickly get down to town by local bus, the hotels shuffle, or taxi.

The private beach is nice and beats Cefalu's busy beaches, and the hotel has great views, decent rooms, and is decent overall. But I don't understand why they wouldn't turn on the air conditioning when it was boiling outside. Saying “It's not summer” doesn't help when children wake up in pools of sweat, especially when I paid as much as summer guests. It also seemed like every request we made at the front desk was ignored. I'd definitely stay somewhere else next time I visit Cefalu.

The hotel has a lovely, quiet pool and a fantastic garden restaurant for dinner. The roof terrace on the 3rd floor has a fabulous view. Staff are friendly, and there's a free Tuk-tuk to the beach and back, though it's only a 10 min. walk. Guests also get a free umbrella and sunbed. Cefalu is 10 min by car, but there's nowhere else to eat or drink within walking distance apart from the small, great beach bistro. There's a closed parking lot, and you can rent bikes.
