The staff was super helpful, it was a beautiful view, and well maintained property. It is about a 30-40 minute walk from the main Cefalu area for food but they have a restaurant for breakfast and lunch. We would go back!

This is a wonderful place to stay when in the Cefalu area. Away from the hectic town center but close enough to walk (20 minutes) and not worry about parking. Beautiful vistas over the ocean from our private villa with daily maid service. There is no coffee available in the rooms but there is a 24 hour bar service and restaurant where coffee is available.

My husband and I came to Cefalu for our honeymoon. This was our favorite stay! It had everything we needed, the beach was AMAZING, and it was really just perfect! HUGE BALCONY with an insane view. The little breakfast lunch they had was great!! (We loved the tuna sandwhich haha) Not over the top and full of “fluff” just the most perfect simple get away. Worth every dollar Staff was also so kind from the people in the restaurant to the guys who checked us in and out. So helpful :) we will be back!

This property exceeded our expectations. The room and grounds were immaculate and clearly well cared for. We appreciated the free on‑site parking, and the service—from check‑in through departure—was consistently friendly and top‑notch.The food available for purchase was excellent, with generous portions. The location was unbeatable: a gorgeous bay perfect for swimming, complete with water amenities (kayaks, pedal boats, floaters, water shoes), and just a short drive to the town center of Cefalù. Another bonus was being able to walk to the adjacent restaurant for dinner. We would love to return to this hotel!

Beautiful minimalist property that had every amenity from coffee bar, liquor bar, breakfast and lunch restaurant. Plenty of beach, chairs, umbrellas, and tables at the private beach along with plenty of beach toys from paddle boats to kayaks. The beach is very rocky but they had plenty of beach shoes to borrow. The most pleasant surprise was it was an easy walk to the historical downtown where there were plenty of bargains to be had add beautiful restaurants to enjoy. Thanks to the staff for making it a very pleasant and enjoyable stay you can’t beat the view from anyone of the rooms that also have a private terrace.

It’s a beautiful family resort with a lovely atmosphere. The room was very basic but clean and comfortable, with a small private sitting area and nice vanity amenities. My kids especially enjoyed their stay, and overall, we had a wonderful vacation. The only negative experience was with one of the sisters working in the beach area. Unfortunately, her attitude came across as a little rude, which was disappointing and took away from an otherwise lovely experience. Aside from that one incident, everything was almost perfect, and we truly enjoyed our stay as a family.

Amazing location and views across the bay. The private beach was quiet and well maintained; loungers always available, along with use of canoes and pedalos. The snorkelling was great, clear, warm water. The facilities at Blue Bay are limited, it feels more like self catering apartments than a hotel - there is a ‘bar’ which is limited and was largely unoccupied and a ‘cafe’ which served breakfast and lunch, all at extra cost. There are a couple of restaurants, ranging from reasonably priced to very expensive, within 10 minutes walk - the hustle and bustle of Cefalù town is a 20 minute walk (some of which is along roads but is doable with care). In the heat, the walk is challenging but in cooler temperatures, fine.

Blue Bay is in a fantastic location, with access to a very nice private beach with calm, beautiful water full of fish and sea life. The hotel gives you free access to kayaks and paddleboats (with slides), which the kids loved. There's also drinks, snacks, and beach towels to rent near the water. The staff are also very nice and helpful. The rooms are a bit bare bones, with nothing really in the way of decoration or styling. The water in the bathrooms strangely cannot get cold (it's always warm to hot) and smells a bit sulfuric. That being said, I would stay there again because the beach is so nice and convenient, and my kids loved it.

Gorgeous location and views. Rooms are huge, as are the patios. Not luxurious appointments, but comfortable enough. The beach is rocky, but the swimming and snorkeling is excellent. Lots of steps everywhere! Breakfast and lunch aren’t fancy but we’re very tasty. It did take them 3 nights to fix the A/c in my kids’ room, which wasn’t great. Overall, though, we had a wonderful time and will return. It’s a special spot.
