Stunning beach view, the rooms are definitely a little run down and need updating! The breakfast on offer each morning was delicious. About a 20 minute walk into the main area of Cefalu (quite hilly wall). Staff were incredible.

Wonderful experience at Blue Bay. We enjoyed having a private beach and the free breakfast. Loved having the water shoes available to use in water. It was nice to be away from the city centre but not too far away to be able to walk (approx. 30 mins). The staff were wonderful and provided assistance whenever. We would come back again!

Private beach. Awesome sunset. All rooms have ocean views with terrace. Complimentary use of sun lounges with umbrellas and paddle boats and canoes. Wonderful start to the day with breakfast with freshly baked bread and pastries. Great coffee. Fruit and yogurts and cereals and antipasto. Town centre is a leisurely 20 to 30min stroll.

The breakfast selection was good but we all had issues with the coffee. Came from a machine, which is not usually a problem, but this coffee was bitter no matter what selection we made. Additionally, there was always a line up at the coffee machine.

Beautiful views, can venture to walk to town. Secure parking. Rocky beach, but they set some sand bags to walk into water. Pedal boat and kayak also free to use. The beach on other side is more stunning, small public section and mostly for another hotel. This hotel did not have laundry, as advertised. Lite breakfast buffet (pastries, fruit, coffee). We really enjoyed the town of Cefalu!

What I loved the most is the views, the beach, you should drive to go into Cefalu downtown area; tons of restaurants, live bands, many shops & monuments to see. The staff at Blue Bay are all fantastic, helpful, kind, and just so friendly. We loved our stay and it was such a dream vacation!!! Gracie from room 305 ( Angelo & Lucy)
