  A terrible hotel.

  01 May 2025

  This is a terrible very basic hotel that should be classified as less than 2 star. The decor is very bad and in need of total refurbishment. The restaurant and bar were closed and the nearest restaurant was nearly 1.5km away up a steep hill along an unmade road. We were offered a car ride one way for €20. The description of this hotel bears no relationship to the facts. Do not stay here.

  False advertising by loveholidays

  09 Oct 2024

  We had arrived on the 7th of October to be welcomed by road works that you aren’t informed about or given any place to put your car you’ve hired, you’ve to park it on the same road as the road works take place and it is a dirt track basically and you have to lug your luggage through this. The staff are welcoming but don’t speak a lot of English so it is a lot of miscommunication, the room was supposed to have a sea view which you had to look around a corner to see, the sockets in one room were sparking and another was just a open plug in the wall with no covering around it, there was no sockets beside the beds like stated in the other room, the fridge was forming a pool of water around it which is an electrical hazard, along with the above stated the kettle was full of lime. There was a hole in the bathroom wall, the television didn’t work, and also majority of the appliances in the bathroom were rusting. In the main bedroom there was nails etc sticking out of walls which is a hazard. The false advertising should be stopped as it makes people without transportation stuck in this remote location with very little around, we had to check out early as we didn’t feel comfortable in this hotel and hope this doesn’t keep happening to people in the near and upcoming future.

  AVOID at all costs!!!

  08 Oct 2024

  We arrived around 6:55pm no one was in the reception , the owner had to be called through phone to come to the hotel to check us in which was then around 7:45pm I was then greeted with an angry man when I had voiced my concerns with no one in reception neither on site , he shouted this is my bisness not yours , that he can’t be waiting for me to arrive to check in he looked intoxicated and was seen drinking on site after we checked in …….. there was a few others also checking in the same time they was disappointed as well my self with what we was faced with was complety different to what was advitised within lovehoildays they checked in and out the next day ……. We entered the room finally 8:30pm the bed was hard , soild so much that my friend had to drag one single bed from another room to place on top of the bed so I’m able to get atleast a decent sleep. A light was hanging off the wall a tv was hoovering over my friends bed which could cause an accident cracks within the walls switch cover had came off the draw handles came off which we couldn’t store our clothes in as the handles were broken , no toilet roll Also the shower was leaking and this wasn’t resolved .we woke up the next morning to a feeling of not being welcomed here ……. The breakfast was below par the cold foods wasn’t store correctly bread pasties were hard unedible and the milk was sour , we went out for the day , we returned there was no hot food served even with it stating online full menu , boss made me and my friend feel from constructive criticism on the first evening checking in waiting for almost 1 hour , the next morning we woke up had breakfast which we both couldn’t stomach there was also an overwhelming smelt of death within the breakfast area …….. another couple fount mould within there fruits we left to go and rent a scooter for the day we arrived back to the hotel later that evening that day to discover money was taken from our room which was left on the side , we then spoke to the nearest available staff which was the manteince guy we got a long with pretty well he said that two woman had cleaned our room one blonde and the other dark hair , he felt guilty for the situation so he gave the money Back his own pocket , he then voiced the next day that the two in question had blamed him for taking the money ,. The manitence guy had mentioned the next morning that the manager will be in later to speak with him to make him aware of the situation. My friend had seen the owner finally on site after a few days of not being there to make him aware of the situation and he said this is impossible it’s never happened , then me and my friend both sat down to enjoy some sun bathing and a few drinks to be then faced with two angry indivauls the manager and his wife who works on the site cleaning rooms charging at us making us feel uncomfortable and we felt attacked , that she didn’t take it and that manager was shouting we wouldn’t take your money and that the mantience guy had been in our room that morning cleaning the aircon with another girl. We was then left after a huge dissagreement and the maintenance guy came across and stated that he wasn’t in our room that they are lying and stated this has happened before with the manager and his wife who works on site with him €87 euros had been taken A few months ago ……. We was left with the rest of the evening being pointed at and talked about by the owner and manager and his wife They claim this hotel is 4 star is not even a 2 star the pool was a green swamp The pool was horrendous green smelt like a old pond and the grout has black mould in the lining too and not ok to be used by the public , it was only after two days of people voicing the same it is that the manitence guy gutted and cleaned the pool on his day off as most people was always voicing concerns to him as the owner was never presentAlso all the activity’s stated online isn’t the case there’s nothing here Also a third resturant wasn’t even there it has been demolished please see all the attached images as proof in what me and amongst others who checked out shortly after checking in was faced with I’ve been informed by love hoildays that this hotel will be removed from there websites going forward as I’m now awaiting compensation amongst others too , also check in time is 11pm by love holidays information as you can see by the poster posted on the front door of the reception states 10pm after would accrue €50 euros to clearly rip people off even more , please also note there isn’t any hot food all images within there online page have been from a previous owner 2 plus years ago and that his breaking uk trading lawWe are leaving today and have now been intimated by the manager that intimidated us whilst we sat down to sun bath after voicing money had been stolen from our room whilst we was out for the day …….. saying that the images I sent are false and incorrect and I’m lying coming at me with anger , the mantience guy who has been helping us had said you have the right to take legal action for intimidation

  Lovely hotel, just needs a few updates

  07 Oct 2024

  I thought the previous reviews were a bit harsh, but gave me low expectations. I must admit when I arrived I didn’t know where to go. I did get there late and none of the telephone numbers worked and despite my arrival before 10pm reception was closed and everywhere was dark (no lighting by the pool!) However when I did flag down a member of staff they were helpful, showed me to the room which I thought was very nice and clean. The room had everything I needed as I did just shower and sleep and the rooms are cleaned every morning. The balconies are a nice touch; but with them being so close together there is no privacy. I also didn’t hire a car so walked everywhere and used the trains frequently (lots of steps and uphill walks though; so if you can I’d say hire a car especially for a short stay and if you’re less abled to walk). Also the restaurant wasn’t open in the evenings so I had to go elsewhere for food, very little choice in the vending machines too. Not much goes on in the town either so I was a frequent visitor in Cefalù roughly 25 minutes on the train. Breakfast was adequate with new items added every day so you had a couple of mixed choices. The pool was half empty and green when I arrived but a couple of days later it was cleaned and full again. I didn’t mind as I had booked for 7 nights and there are also beaches nearby and didn’t worry too much as I knew I came out of season. Overall I enjoyed my stay, I wanted a quiet getaway and I got just that!

  False advertising by love holidays

  04 Oct 2024

  Love holidays are selling a product that does not exist!!!!! Hardly any of the facilities are there!! It is a total rip off and a scam. I am making an in depth complaint, there is too much to describe on this review. Basically none of the facilities are there as advertised by love holidays. We were left hungry, cut off and depressed as were other guests. Phoned the emergency helpline for love love holidays but they refused to help us!!!!Totally in breach of false advertising and will take it further if not resolved Do not go there!!!!! This was our first time booking with love holidays and thought we were being sent to a trusted hotel, it turned out to be a NIGHTMARE!
