Location curata nei minimi dettagli, intima e di alto livello: davvero raro trovare una struttura così in zona. Le camere sono ben organizzate e dotate di tutto ciò che serve per vivere una vacanza perfetta, tra relax e comfort. Il servizio è semplicemente eccellente. Tutto il personale, dalla reception ai barman (veramente bravi), fino ai ragazzi del ristorante, lavora con passione e attenzione sincera verso l’ospite. Si percepisce chiaramente l’esperienza maturata all’estero, riproposta qui con il cuore. Sanno capire i clienti e sanno farli stare bene. Un ringraziamento speciale a Salva, Nino ed Emanuele, che ci hanno fatto sentire come dei re per tutta la durata del soggiorno. La struttura si trova a pochi minuti dal centro di Cefalù, facilmente raggiungibile sia con la propria auto che con il servizio transfer comodissimo messo a disposizione. Una menzione a parte merita la cena: un’esperienza memorabile. La cucina dello chef è stata eccellente, i vini selezionati con cura, i prodotti locali valorizzati al meglio e il servizio davvero impeccabile. Consigliatissimo a chi cerca qualità vera, senza compromessi.

Before I start my review, the resort is beautiful with plenty of green and private space around the pool. I would like to acknowledge that the staff, especially those around the pool were friendly and accommodating to our requests. However, there was no mention of the train tracks that run alongside the resort so don’t stay in room 502, as the tracks run along the bedhead! For a 4 star resort I find it unacceptable that you have to pay for a clean pool towel if you want a fresh one. We were there for 4 nights and swam every day so expected to be able to change these over at the end of the day, free of charge. Breakfast was fine but the limited day time menu was challenging. The kitchen was open for limited hours during the day and the distance to town made getting food impossible- the free shuttle service was for 3 return morning services with a 3 hour break before the resumption of the 3 return afternoon services, with the last resort departure at 6.30pm. Taxis to/from the resort into town ranged between €15-20 but it was usually a 30-45min wait at each end. I was so looking forward to staying here but was underwhelmed by the experience.

Un vero e proprio paradiso, tutto davvero suggestivo ed impeccabile. Dal meraviglioso paesaggio al personale super gentile e sempre disponibile. Pulizia perfetta e pietanze che sembrano delle vere e proprie opere d’arte.

Great place to chill Insulae Resort's pool, serviced by great bar staff, is the perfect place to completely relax before hitting up beautiful Cefalu for an afternoon stroll or evening meal. It's a 10-minute drive to the centre of Cefalu so you'll need a car or taxi if you're planning to come back late - the hotel's minibus service ends in the early evening. While there is access to the sea 100 metres away, it's a very rocky beach. A second walkable beach option, 400 metres away, is serviced by another resort and was very loud (thumping music). It's worth noting that trains do pass by close to the hotel and there's a concrete factory close by that also produces background noise.

We had high hopes for our stay and the pool is beautiful and the bartender makes a great Negroni. The biggest problem was our bathroom sliding door was super broken, so we had to take a full minute to open it every time we closed it which really wasn’t how we wanted to spend our honeymoon. When we told them about the problem they said they’re just working on getting it fixed. Breakfast was reasonably good and the property was clean. The outdoor gym also looked great but most of the machinery like the treadmill was not in safe working order. We also were disappointed by the lack of food available. They shut down all food for hours in the afternoon and they only do the pizzeria or the tasting restaurant every other night. Nothing is walking distance. Given how isolated the property is from town I would recommend choosing another property in Cefalu with walking distance. They do have a shuttle driver and he is was friendliest staff member we encountered but it was very limited hours. Uber is not available there and it’s a 20 minute wait and 15 euros each way for a taxi. We stayed at 5 hotels in Sicily and this one was definitely our lowest experience unfortunately.

I definitely recommend. We had a wonderful stay. Staff was friendly and spoke sufficient English. The grounds were absolutely beautiful, as were the views. Rooms were small and just ok- typical for Europe- but the bed was comfortable and everything was clean and modern with a very nice terrace. It is a very short drive to Cefalu but they have a shuttle until early evening.

Ein mal und nie wieder. Wir haben für eine Woche das Hotel reserviert. Aber nach drei Tagen sind wir ausgezogen. Die drei Tage,vor allem die drei Nächte waren wie ein Horror für uns. Was alle die dieses Hotel buchen möchten, sollten wissen, dass es dort sehr laut ist. Das Hotel befindet sich direkt in der Nähe des Bahngleises. Die Züge fahren 4-6 mal pro Stunde bis zur Nacht und ab ca 5:30 morgen. Oberhalb des Hotels ist eine Betonfabrik und rechts vom Hotel eine Kläranlage. Dort wird die ganze Nacht gearbeitet. Wir konnten die Nächte kaum schlafen. Die Lounge Bar hatte ununterbrochen Musik laufen, zum Teil bis 0:30 Uhr und nicht leise. Zum Lüften gab es nur das Fenster im Bad und die Schiebetür. Andere Möglichkeit zum Lüften gab es nicht. Und wenn ,dann war die Lautstärke unerträglich. Es blieb nur im warmen zu schlafen oder es war zu laut. Das Zimmer ist sehr klein. Poolterrasse war sehr klein. Am Pool befanden sich die Liegen und eine Poolbar. Die Wege zwischen Tischen, Liegen und dem Bar waren sehr eng. Das Frühstück war ebenfalls für ein Hotel dieser Preisklasse nicht angemessen. Das Hotel hat die 4 Sterne nicht verdient. Obwohl wir nach drei Nächten mit Hinweis auf die o.g. Probleme abgereist sind, müssten wir 7 Nächte inkl. Frühstück bezahlen.

Beautiful resort, but if you want to visit Cefalu city center not the best location. The hotel offers rides to city center but only limited hours. A 4 star hotel shouldn’t have instant coffee in the rooms should be broker quality. The breakfast was very good.
