Such a beautiful resort that went beyond what we were expecting. I commented to my wife that it “felt like a little piece of paradise.” It was so relaxing, the poolside lunch lunches are great, the bar serves great drinks at great prices and the a la carte restaurant, Zayt, is exceptional. We had dinner in there on the first evening and it was an experience to remember. All the staff were so friendly and engaging, we were made to feel so welcome. Special thanks to Antonino, Gianpiero and Salvatore. What great guys! We really didn’t want to leave and fully intend to stay again. We felt really at home is Sicily and there is so much more to see. Can’t wait to go back. Grazie mille a tutti! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/86b26935-8a74-4024-aac1-7aaec8d09e4b-1760514724099.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/36e00099-9f23-48e2-9d59-39d318c82ac3-1760514727568.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dbf7585d-5837-42be-806a-da1dbc6f80ea-1760514726834.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/af28e767-944d-4bfa-96a9-9ffcf4f6c5c0-1760514726944.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Simon Peter Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rolando 3 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Rolando Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beverly 21 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The best feature of this hotel is its staff. The accomodation is well thought out, very comfortable and all looking iut iver the sea or pool. The fine dining is amazing, the cocktails and drinks were of a great standard. Shuttle.bus is a real bonus. ##### Beverly Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Riccardo 5 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities An amazing private resort on a small scale: new, clean, and thought through in every little detail. The premises are aesthetic, good-smelling and feel exclusive. The garden feels like a cosy hideout. Great cocktail bar, both during the day and in the evening, with Salvo and Emanuele not missing a chance to surprise you and make you smile. The fine dining experience at the on-site restaurant “Zayn” is worth a mention, too. A complimentary electric shuttle and EV charging are available, too. ##### Riccardo Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrew 8 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Andrew Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracy 1 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Absolutely gorgeous boutique property, perfect for R&R, lounging by the pool and indulging in the inventive tasting menu (a high point during our trip!). Fantastic pool and bar area with fast and friendly service. Charming Cefalu is a shuttle ride away and we appreciated not having to drive ourselves into the town. The staff were very kind and attentive. The only downside was the size of our room - extremely small, if I were to return, I would seek out a large room if that is an option. The private terrace helps make up for it. ##### Tracy Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Molly 22 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful relaxing resort out of the way. Most staff were great. Breakfast was fantastic. Pool area amazing. Shuttle into Cefalu is great except that the last return shuttle is at 6:30 which doesn’t help you get into town for dinner so we had to take taxis back. Lunch options by the pool were a little too fancy for our tastes. Cold pool, brrrr. ##### Molly ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deniz 24 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Stars stars stars...Very very clean room,first time ı used a bad cover withput anydept.So clean.Stuff,they are all nice ready for help,with smiling face all time.Dinner was perfect..That ı ever had the best.Breakfast is very satisfied,good coffee,and many choosing.. if you have any plan to Cefalu,do not hesitate to come here ##### Deniz Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### COLIN 25 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were always friendly, yet always professional. Beautiful hotel and environment. The food in the restaurant was incredibly good, with excellent service. Somewhere to eat in the evening with a more relaxed atmosphere would have been nice. Walking into Cefalu isn't such an issue. Parts of the road arent paved, parts are. Just be careful and you can cut down a side street to take you onto the beach road. Takes about 40minutes walking Would I go back. Definitely !! ##### COLIN Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jula Johanna Birgit 16 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We really enjoyed our stay at Insulae. A beautiful place to relax. Very clean, great breakfast, nice outside area with lounges, pool, ping pong and private terrace. Very friendly and sweet staff. We rather used the public beach which is in walking distance than the private sea access. The location is a bit far out to Cefalu city, but we knew that in advance, so no problem. Things that could be improved: possiblity to hang up wet towels etc. The parties booked by external people were a bit unexpected and noisy. ##### Jula Johanna Birgit Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thoms Florian 5 May 2025 Liked: Amenities Very nice stay ##### Thoms Florian Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew 23 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really nice place ! ##### Andrew Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 7 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### New resort, perfect location Newly open, very friendly stuff, great breakfast, pool bar with amazing cocktails, quiet area:) ##### David Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Madeleine 1 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Lovely stay Very friendly atmosphere, most amazing cocktails, great chill vibe.

Beim Check-out wurden uns plötzlich zusätzliche Kosten berechnet – ohne vorherige Rücksprache. Uns wurde eine beschädigte Toilettenbrille in Rechnung ( 50€) gestellt, obwohl diese bereits bei unserer Ankunft alt, vergilbt und beschädigt war. Auch die Duschbrause war komplett verrostet – ein klarer Hinweis auf mangelnde Wartung. Statt Verständnis oder Klärung gab es nur eine Rechnung. Zusätzlich wurden uns 50 € berechnet, weil unser Sohn, der nicht im Hotel übernachtet hat, nach dem Mittagessen kurz mit aufs Zimmer kam, um ein Brötchen und Wasser von seiner Mutter zu holen. Diese Abrechnung ist völlig überzogen und unprofessionell. Auf meine E-Mail an das Management habe ich bis heute keine Antwort erhalten. Ein weiterer großer Minuspunkt ist die Lage des Hotels: In nur ca. 50 m Luftlinie befindet sich ein Zementwerk, das rund um die Uhr arbeitet. Der permanente Geräuschpegel – Maschinenlärm, LKW-Verkehr und industrielles Brummen – begleitet einen Tag und Nacht. Zusätzlich verläuft in etwa 10 m Entfernung eine Eisenbahnlinie, die regelmäßig befahren wird und den Lärmpegel weiter erhöht. Wer Ruhe und Erholung sucht, wird hier definitiv enttäuscht. Fazit: Wer Transparenz, Sauberkeit und eine ruhige Umgebung erwartet, sollte sich besser für ein anderes Hotel entscheiden. ##### Sandro Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Isola Bella Infinity Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Isola-Bella-Infinity-Suites.h31731914.Hotel-Information) > > [Acacia Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Campofelice-Di-Roccella-Hotels-Acacia-Resort.h2102724.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Hotel Terre di Eolo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Patti-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Hotel-Terre-Di-Eolo.h17928807.Hotel-Information) > > [Almar Giardino di Costanza Mazara del Vallo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mazara-Del-Vallo-Hotels-Giardino-Di-Costanza-Resort.h1095179.Hotel-Information) > > [Mangia's Torre del Barone Resort and SPA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sciacca-Hotels-Hotel-Club-Torre-Del-Barone.h1619806.Hotel-Information) > > [Splendid Hotel Taormina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Splendid-Hotel-Taormina.h1735615.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Miramare](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Miramare.h1207656.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Ariston & Palazzo Santa Caterina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Ariston-Palazzo-Santa-Caterina.h54117.Hotel-Information) > > [Domina Zagarella Sicily](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Flavia-Hotels-Domina-Zagarella-Sicily.h3464060.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Olimpo Le Terrazze](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Letojanni-Hotels-Hotel-Olimpo-Le-Terrazze.h2032211.Hotel-Information) > > [UNA Hotels Capotaormina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-UNAHOTELS-Capotaormina.h22100.Hotel-Information) > > [The Signature Level at Grand Palladium Sicilia Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Campofelice-Di-Roccella-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-Garden-Beach-Resort-Spa.h42025780.Hotel-Information) > > [Doric Eco Boutique Resort & Spa - Sicily](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agrigento-Hotels-Doric-Boutique-Hotel.h6574636.Hotel-Information) > > [Eurostars Monte Tauro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Eurostars-Monte-Tauro.h913571.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Sonia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castelmola-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Sonia.h1498740.Hotel-Information) > > [Nautilus Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Coast-Hotels-Nautilus-Hotel.h36871038.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Palladium Sicilia Resort & Spa ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Campofelice-Di-Roccella-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-Sicilia-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2032217.Hotel-Information) > > [VOI Marsa Siclà Essentia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Scicli-Hotels-VOI-Marsa-Sicla-Resort.h3748979.Hotel-Information) > > [Sicilia's Residence Hotel Art & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aci-Catena-Hotels-Sicilias-Residence-Hotel-Art-Spa.h5334773.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Mediterranee](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Mediterranee.h1455759.Hotel-Information) > > [VOI Arenella Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Syracuse-Hotels-VOI-Arenella-Resort.h1633512.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ashbee Hotel - The Leading Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-The-Ashbee-Hotel.h4209909.Hotel-Information) > > [HOTEL VILLA CARLOTTA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Villa-Carlotta.h1397632.Hotel-Information) > > [Taormina Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Taormina-Park-Hotel.h1713485.Hotel-Information) > > [Baglio la Porta di San Gerardo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Vito-Lo-Capo-Hotels-Baglio-La-Porta-Di-San-Gerardo.h11675581.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Daphne](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Giardini-Naxos-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Daphne.h1766367.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Angela](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taormina-Hotels-Villa-Angela.h1583026.Hotel-Information) > > [Mangia's Pollina Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pollina-Hotels-Pollina-Resort.h20451228.Hotel-Information)
