The location is excellent with access to the beautiful beach steps away from your room. Our kids 10/16 absolutely loved using the peddle boats, kayaks etc. Fabio and all the staff(family) are extremely friendly and helpful. Arranged restaurant reservations for us(great suggestions to complement our own choices) and taxis. Would definitely return to this property.

We didn’t dislike anything, but for those who have complaints, I would say if you have read the reviews, you know exactly what you are getting so the blame lies with you for not researching. Lots of steps? Yes obviously look at the pictures so shouldn’t be a surprise. Rocky beach? Yes so bring your water shoes. Walkable distance to downtown? 25 min so only you know if your fitness level fits. None of this bothered my family but was very easy for us to obtain this info beforehand

Blue Bay is a wonderful hotel to stay in while in Cefalu, and we would definitely choose it again. The location is great, the view from the balcony is absolutely amazing all day round, and since the beds are super large and comfortable, and the only thing you hear at night is the sound of the sea, we slept like babies there. And the breakfast was incredible, both because of the food itself and the astonishing location it is served in. The owner was always available to help with advice and recommendations and other practical questions. Cefalù is a 15 minute walk away, along a very nice path that has some nice views too, which is a great bonus.

Loved the beach bay this hotel/apartments are on. Stunning. Unfortunately we had bad weather so the sea was stirred up and the beach closed after our arrival. We were really sad about that. Breakfast is fabulous right on the water. The staff are really helpful and parking is plentiful. The views are just beautiful

We’ll it was nothing like we thought. I love a personal balcony so just be aware you share the l generous terraces with your neighbour. I terrace per 2 apartments. The apartments are basic inside and the sofa bed is really ugly. Might be time for a redecorate project? But it’s the little beach I’d go there again for and the wonderful staff.

Perfect spot to sit by the beach away from the busier cities. Was an easy walk into Cefalu, which was actually quite nice to do in the evening once it cooled off (we were there in July - so quite warm). Took about 30m to walk into Cefalu and the path followed the coast line - so beautiful views. Accomodation was clean, open plan, plenty of space. Everything you need for a little get away. We found the beds very comfortable. Little kitchen is enough for simple meals (has a stove top, small fridge, microwave, plates, cutlery, glasses, some pots and pans etc). Big balcony out the front of each chalet where you can eat dinner looking over the ocean while the sun is setting (very nice). Private beach for people staying at the resort with lots of water sport activities (canoeing, SUP, snorkeling etc). Good breakfast. Helpful and nice staff.

Absolutely beautiful spot. We loved the private beach, the water was clean and lovely for swimming. Gorgeous sunrises on the balcony. Fabbio was so helpful with recommendations and helping us arrange a boat trip and car hire for a trip into the mountains. We loved the breakfast! The 20 min walk into Cefalu was perfect for walking off all the extra calories we ate - Sicilian food is delicious!

Can't think of anything really. If you were with a family and needed to self cater, there wouldn't have been enough equipment in the kitchen but we used that as an excuse to eat out !

The room was spacious and clean. The private terrace outstanding with an amazing view. Easy drive to and from historic Cefalù which has a convenient parking lot near the beach. Breakfast on the patio to the right of the apartments had a wide variety of offerings.

Nothing I didn’t like, but I’d like to offer one suggestion for management and one piece of advice to those considering Blue Bay: Adding chaise lounges on the terraces — in addition to those already on the beach — would be an excellent enhancement. Blue bay has a a lot of stairs. If you cannot handle stairs it may not be the place for you.

Location is perfect! With Parking. There are many beach activities for guests to use on a private beach The accommodation is very comfortable and spacious, the balcony’s are huge!! Don’t forget your swimming shoes

We had the best stay, however, there was one thing that could have made it better… There is a small kitchenette area which has all the necessities and if you are like us sometimes we like to stay in we cook something simple and relax.. but there was nothing to clean up with (sponge, washing liquid, tea towel etc) this may be a me “thing” but when I asked how I could clean I was told that they had not been asked before as the cleaners normally do it…if you are like me and like to tidy up after yourself then little note is for you.. take a tea towel, sponge and washing liquid the hotel doesn’t have anything to give you - I was given a tablecloth?

Everything about our stay was exceptional! From the moment we arrived, the experience was seamless — from the warm reception to the convenient parking. Our room was fantastic, featuring a large balcony with an unbeatable sea view. Breakfast was great in a separate cabana, with a great variety of pastries, juices, fruits, etc with a view of the sea was the perfect start to each day. The staff were friendly and attentive, always willing to help. We loved every aspect of this place! Visiting during the low season (late April/early May) meant the hotel wasn’t crowded, which made it relaxing. The beach was beautiful (no sandy beach so water shoes is highly recommended), and the added bonus of complimentary use of a kayak and a paddle boat were a real treat. Just a short walk away within the hotel compound, we found a peak offering panoramic views of the bay, which was absolutely stunning. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

It will be great if we have a drying rack at the balcony.

The private beach was well tended— a beautiful spot! The staff were helpful and friendly. The food at breaks was generous with many options. Our room (a suite) was large, clean, with a fantastic view. It was within about a mile or 20 min walk to the shops and larger public beach and lots of eating options.

The room was a bit sparse, although very clean. Could have used a few more hand towels, dish soap to wash our dishes and beach clothes, and hand soap. Small things that help one settle in. Our beautiful view and balcony faced east so in the morning there was no shade. A small improvement might include a patio umbrella or two at each balcony so one could sit outside in the morning hours and enjoy the splendid view.

The rooms were so spacious, well equipped and very clean. The staff were helpful and always there when you needed help. A lovely walk to Cefalu and many restaurants and bars. The hotel beach, sun loungers & sports equipment all helped us have a fabulous stay and wish we had stayed longer.

There was nothing at all we did not like.
