Beautiful location on the water. Great for a group - lots of outdoor space to gather.
Nice walk into the centre of town - glad we were not staying in the busy centro.
Perfetto!

We absolutely loved our stay at Blue Bay - the pictures do not do it justice! The rooms are super clean and the views incredible. If we ever go back to Sicily - this is the place we will stay!

Beautiful location on the water for a reasonable price. Walk into town is about 30 minutes. Rooms have nice kitchenette. No restaurant close by, but worth it to stay for the view and walk or cab into town.

What can I say but wow… amazing location with its own private beach. Each room has an amazing balcony over looking the water. You do need a car as Cefalu centre is quite far on foot. Definitely coming back here…

We loved our stay at Blue Bay! Room was spacious and impeccably clean. The views were fantastic and we enjoyed the complimentary water chairs and paddle boats. The private beach and the water was a highlight. Just a lovely stay! We hope to come back some day!

Our room was large and clean. The parking was perfect and the view was beautiful. We really loved the beach and it had kayaks and floating chairs which was really nice. We also loved that they will bring your bags to and from your room since there are a lot of stairs. Some things that could be improved:
1. We wished that they had a shuttle into town. A 25 minute walk is beautiful but very hot in the summer:
2. The water from the taps is so hot that I burned my hands washing them.
3. They charge 5 euro for a beach towel and another 5 euro to exchange it for a clean one. We spent over 20 euro just on towels.
4. They didn’t have a restaurant for lunch or dinner or much of a bar (just beer or Aprerol) at the beach. If you wanted a drink you had to walk up many stairs to go to the bar area.
Overall we loved the stay here. If I had limited mobility this would not be the right place for you to stay.
Our room and the terrace we had were amazing. I would stay again.

Blue Bay was perfect for our time in Cefalù. We knew leading up to it that it wasn’t in the heart of the town but figured we would be able to get by. There is a walkable path and it only takes about 20-25 minutes depending on pace. The beach and service were both great and helped us relax after the long flight to Palermo.

Great location with a private beach outside of town. Very quiet and private for a relaxing stay and great sleep! Very friendly and helpful staff. Just a short drive to town which was convenient but nice to escape the hustle and bustle of town!

A lovely hotel with super views
This is a lovely hotel in a great private spot wth a pebble beach. Take beach shoes with you if plan on going into the sea. The views are stunning. Our bedroom had a sauna and steam room and I used the sauna a couple of times. It also had two bathrooms and a huge living room space, fridge and air con so it was really well equipped.
We were on level 1 so had to walked down a lot of steps to get to the beach. It's fine if you are fit however if you have any mobility issues this hotel may not be suitable.
The hotel was spotless and someone picks up any rubbish from the sea that washed up to the beach each day. There are kayaks and paddleboards and a pedalo free to use.
This hotel only serves breakfast (no lunch or dinner) and a lot of it is very swet items. It would be good if they served more savoury items. The dining area is small and one time we arrived for breakfast and had to wait to be seated as there was a large group staying, so be aware of this if you need to eat quickly. We ate kunch and dinner a couple of times at the hotel next door and the food was excellent although service can be a little slow due to them being so busy. It's about a 15-20 mins walk into town and there are a couple of lovely restaurants en-route if you don't want to go right into town. Cefalu is really lovely. The staff at this hotel were friendly and helpful.

Our stay for 5 nights was unbelievable. Everyone at the hotel was extremely nice and helpful. We felt that being there was not just an accommodation but an experience. Being at the family owned hotel, we thought everyone was genuine and warm and we could not have had a better 6 days.
