Acacia Resort

Overall rating is OK. If you are a tennis player you will be disappointed with the court. It’s not as the picture on Expedia advertised…check the satellite image for a real picture. Pretty disappointed with Expedia’s rating of this hotel and the hotel they transferred us from which was rated on Expedia as 5 stars, but was really 3 stars if that. After using Expedia for over 20 years, I’m now reconsidering if I can trust their recommendations any longer. Very sad!

The Pros Perfect Location: The hotel is in an ideal spot, and our room had a great location with a wonderful private patio. Excellent AC & Cleanliness: The property was very clean. The biggest highlight was having individual mini-split AC controls—a total dealbreaker for us. Dinner Perks: Unlimited wine carafes during dinner. The Cons Cramped Room & Zero Privacy: The room was very small, barely fitting a corner closet and two chairs. Worse, the bathroom was separated from the bed by only a sliding glass door, offering zero privacy and amplified acoustics. A solid door or separate water closet is badly needed. Poor Bathroom Layout & Maintenance: The trim and plaster need attention, and the shower routinely flooded the bathroom floor. Housekeeping also annoyingly left clean towels on the bidet. Impractical Amenities: The mini-fridge is too small to hold standard liter water bottles. Additionally, the pool bar is inconveniently located far away in the lobby, with confusing rules about using different glasses at different times. Misleading Value & Food: For the price, it is misleading that the resort is not all-inclusive—only breakfast is included. While breakfast was acceptable for Italy, dinner is not worth staying around for. You can find much better, cheaper culinary options nearby in Cefalù.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a wonderful stay at Acacia Resort in Sicily. One of the highlights was the incredible buffet breakfast, which offered one of the best selections we experienced during our travels. There was a wide variety of fresh and delicious options to suit every taste, making each morning a great start to the day. The pool was absolutely amazing—large, beautiful, well-maintained, and perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. The resort grounds were attractive and peaceful, creating a very enjoyable atmosphere throughout our stay. The staff were friendly and professional, and the overall experience was excellent. If you are looking for a relaxing resort with outstanding breakfast options and a fantastic pool, I highly recommend Acacia Resort. Thank you to the entire team for a memorable stay in Sicily!

Poor choice by us booked 14days left after 6 days .. beach like a builders yard .. only one Resturant for dinner buffet average quality and limited choice poor wine selection staff don’t want be there .. no restaurants near hotel all 30+ mins away and poor quality.. nice pool .. bar ran like a 1980’s place poor choice of wine no draught beer limited bottles.. breakfast same everyday limited fresh fruit mainly tinned stuff couldn’t stay in this time warp .foe 14 days . room supposed to be garden view mainly a bunch of pebbles and a row of scruffy trees … we had to leave

Beautiful grounds and pool. Beach disappointing, but quiet. Music every evening went on too late, near hotel rooms. Breakfast and dinner buffets excellent, but very difficult to get to anywhere else to dine as shuttle returned to hotel at 6pm. Hire car would be useful, but not essential as there are trains and taxis available.

Hidden charges- water, safe and towels.

A two part review. Pros - a large hotel with great infrastructure, lovely rooms, first class friendly service, huge pool, amazingly clean and superb attractive gardens. Cons - the food was mass catering, buffet style, edible but bland and not especially well presented. The beach was truly horrible. Very pebbly, seriously uncomfortable to walk on, painful to get into the sea and not very attractive to sunbathe on (although beds around the pool were plentiful and comfortable. Pool side bar and toilets were not up to standard. The hotel is some distance from any village or attractions so a car is needed although the hotel does provide a shuttle service to Palermo and Cefalu. Also there were day trips arranged by the hotel. A decent chef and a bulldozer to the beach are essential to make this a stand out hotel worthy of all 4 stars.

Resort has loud music until midnight every night so don’t plan on sleeping until after midnight. Every day loud announcers at the pool over the speakers and music is played so loud there is no way to relax. The food is awful which is so sad because Sicily is known for good food. We ended up taking a taxi into town for dinners but taxis are only available until 10pm and have to be pre arranged so it’s not convenient. So you have to get back from dinner by 10pm or you are stuck. Two massages at the spa were awful they are not well trained or experienced. The spa itself was pretty but the loud announcing and loud speaker from the pool again makes it where it’s hard to relax. Facilities were clean and nice.

The pool is the best thing about this resort. I could hardly get out of it!

drinks to expensive at the pool bar and not many restaurants and stuff to do around

We enjoyed our weekend visit. Enough cannot be said for the hospitality, kindness and professional staff. We truly enjoyed the pool. Breakfast had lots of options. Housekeeping, Front desk, spa, and restaurant very professional and friendly. We will try to return.

I was actually so satisfied that i send my own parents over, 1 weeks after my stay. Awesome surroundings, good layout, comfy rooms, outstanding kitchen and staff. Pool guards so so, not well informed about amenities.

We really enjoyed our stay at thought the rooms and public spaces were excellent. The pool was nice with plenty of sun beds and a nice feel. There is a large garden and a reasonably sized private sand / stony beach with plenty of beds. There are a couple of downsides the first was the quality of the bar staff who I thought delivered slow and poor service. Even more surprising given the price of the drinks a small beer was 4 euro and a gin and tonic 7 euro. The second downside is the location as apart from a few local hotels and a small café there is nothing in walking distance. We knew this before we booked so was not a surprise however I would recommend a car if you want to get out and about.

We had a very relaxed and enjoyable week at the Hotel following a hectic but very enjoyable 3 week tour of the Island.The staff were all nice and helpful and the food good.The strange thing about the bill costs at the end of the stay was the apparent initial levy on the credit card of a 20 euro deposit on a guests receipt of each pool towel and a 3 Euro charge per pool towel each time it was exchanged at the end of a day--so you could end up with a 21 euro addition on your bill for a 7 day stay per towel/person.The deposit was removed from the bill once the Hotel received the final return of the towel.

Hotel is most definitely not beach front! The beach was all rocky and lots of trash all around. The hotel is not a full service hotel either...if you don't have all inclusive they refuse to help you find a restaurant. Rooms are really small for a 4 star! The pool area is fantastic but when you have a week at a resort with your family you need more than that..you can't walk anywhere either because the surrounding area is pretty rundown. We had a good time anyway.

A hotel fica a 15 minutos (carro) de Cefalú. Instalações bem bonitas, com piscina excelente e um pedaço pequeno de praia particular. Quartos eram muito bons tb. As refeições eram boas, mas o jantar era meio caótico (embora a comida tenha sido muito boa), pelo grande número de hóspedes atendidos (fomos em Julho, alta temporada). Ainda assim, nunca faltou lugar nem comida. Recomendo.

Piscine magnifique, chambres mal insonorisée et lit peu confortable.

Wonderful resort, with everything you could expect of a 4-star resort in Europe. Rooms are spacious, clean with comfortable bed. Guests are mainly locals, so not too touristy. The restaurant serves both breakfast and dinner buffets, with plenty of options of tasty (both local and international) variations of food. The pool is huge, with both a child friendly part with shallow water, and a part with deeper water, great for swimming etc. Staff is very friendly, polite and makes sure the guests are having a good time. The resort is located 20mins drive from Cefalù, but there is no public transport, so expect to spend some money on transport/taxi if you want to visit the beautiful city of Cefalù. Price for the taxi is 35€ one way, if you book with the Hotel. Local taxis charge 50€ or more. We will definitely be back.

Helt ok hotel. Fin frokost - middag også men ikke wow, forskjellig utvalg men kjedelige smaker. En må jo kjøpe alt, ingen butikker i nærheten. Ved innsjekk blir en belastet for solsenger, minigolf, strandhånkle. Dyrt me taxi og ca 40 min til nærmeste by. Fint bassengområdet,, stranden veldig mye stein i sjøen, så ubehahelig å bade hvis Bølger. Savnet også te/kaffe koker på rom Mye maur på rom til våre venner og i fellesområdene Hadde nok valgt et hotel som var mer sentralt

Fin pool som barnen uppskattade
