Pet friendly Hotels Cefalu

We have just returned from a week in the beautiful town of Cefalu in Sicily - an area which we first visited in 2017. This time we stayed in the Astro Suite Hotel and here are our comments (some positive and some negative) which hopefully will help others to make a decision on where to stay: The good: Location - the hotel is in an excellent location being just across the road from the main beach at Cefalu and less than a 10 minute walk from the old town where there are lots of restaurants and shops to wander around. The best restaurants we found were La Brace and Le Chat Noir. There is a very good supermarket (Deco) around a 5 minute walk from the hotel which stays open until 10pm. Also, the train station at Cefalu has trains direct to Palermo in under an hour should you wish to visit the capital. Cleanliness - the rooms and all areas of the hotel are super clean. Towels are changed daily. Kitchenette - well equipped with everything you'd need if you wanted to cook. Staff - without exception, the staff are all very friendly and helpful. Swimming pool - the hotel has a small swimming pool with sun loungers. The pool is rather shallow but fine if you have young children. The not-so-good: Breakfast - the hotel serves a continental-style breakfast, so no hot food at all. We found the choice to be rather limited. I think the hotel should offer a wider selection of cold meats and cheeses than they currently do. Sun loungers on beach - the hotel does not have its own private area of the beach and therefore the sun loungers come at a charge. For us (3 people) this came to 35 euros per day (and more expensive at the weekend). So if you are staying for a week or more, this can add up to quite a significant amount. The hotel does loan parasols free of charge though if you don't mind laying out a towel on the sand. Beach hawkers - there seems to be a large number of people walking up and down the beach trying to sell you stuff all day long. Gets rather tiresome. Check-out - the time for checking out of the hotel on your last day is 10.30am. However, if you are not leaving for the airport until later in the day the only facility the hotel can offer you to have a shower before you leave is the outside shower by the side of the pool and then to get changed in the toilet cubicle near reception. Not very satisfactory!

From the airport is a 2 hour ride so with kids they need there tablets. As raw dogging as the youth call it is beyond them looking out the window 😂 For an all inclusive there is a set menu each day in the main restaurant which is a refreshing change for an all inclusive. They have Sicily night, and all the flavours of Italy which is great. This means if you like chicken nuggets and chips, it’s not for you. They have a voucher system to allow you to go to various restaurants in the hotel which is a great change of scenery and taste. Pizzeria, Garden restaurant (Italian), Grill, Beach restaurant and main restaurant. The main restaurant is your base and you sit at the same table. Breakfast is very Italian, pastries and coffee or hotdog sausages eggs and tomatoes cheeses etc. They offer pack lunches if you are going on an early trip. The beach restaurant food is good and the environment is nice, but you have about an hour to eat it, so you have to turn up on time which is a very rushed scenario. Ok so the beach, you’ll need swim shoes due to it being sharp sand and stones. Free 10min bus ride. The beach in Cefalu is sandy and nicer but super crowded. Bus ride is 20mins and is about £4.20 return. Those beach shoes come in handy for the free water park on all inclusive though you have to pay for good and drink in the park . The park is good but gets busy at weekends. The issue there is you need to pay £10 for 2 beds and a parasol. The hotel pools are shallow warm and good, no issues with sun beds. Towels are £2 each for the week for laundry and a returnable £20 each. Crazy for a Hotel, that claims 5 star status? Now the penny pinch continues with no drinks in your fridge, no mini bar, no bottles of free water apart from at breakfast lunch and dinner which you can’t take out of the restaurant? You can’t fill your own bottles. So you order little plastic cups of water all the time because you are so dehydrated. Obvs you can go to a supermarket in Cefalu, but who at a hotel wants to do that, this absolutely ruins the whole experience. Entertainment was typical, but some not suitable for family young kids entertainment.

It's a classic 3-star family owned italian hotel with a very friendly staff, there was all necessary for a 3-star hotel. The room is a standard for early 90th I think, not big, but very well kept and very clean. The location is Excellent! Next to Duomo and to the sea side restaurants. The roof terrace is splendid. Italian breakfast, but all fresh and tasty. Dining room is recently refurnished and nice! Advisable!
