Bad experience with service desc
While stay was ok and pretty positive, our experience with Léna & Alpha (from service desk) was quite disappointing. Despite having Platinum status, we were unable to secure a reservation at the restaurant for three days, which was quite frustrating. Additionally, after leaving the hotel, we realized we had forgotten (or possibly had items stolen) and reported this to the front desk. Unfortunately, our attempts to follow up were ignored, and we received no response from the service desk. This lack of communication and service was unexpected and disappointing.

Recent trip to Club Med Cefalu
The venue was great and most of the staff were friendly. The food was great . Despite the positives and having been to many other Club Meds this one feels flat and the front staff at reception definitely not on point. For an exclusive collection I was expecting better service and something to match its superior trident status. The tour guide Elizabeth and driver Tony were the highlight of the trip and created a memorable experience for us on our Taormina excursion.

Written by: 140michaeld140 - Cape Town Central, South Africa - September 29, 2024Superb Club Med !!!!!!!
Having enjoyed many Club Med holidays in the past I was looking forward to visiting Cefalu. This Club Med exceeded my expectations. The facilities were all excellent. My panoramic sea view villetta was in easy walking distance of most places and if not there were plenty of buggies to offer me a lift. The food was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the pasta, seafood, fish and abundant salad options. As a lady who doesn’t usually eat desserts I tasted every single one of them plus the ice creams….im dreaming of them still…. The G O’s and staff were exceptional. Very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The names are too numerous for mentioning individually but a special commendation to hard working Chef de Village, Adrien. I look forward to returning.

Written by: Sarah C - - September 27, 2024Stunning location. Club atmosphere better for the French speaker
This club is located on the coast within walking distance to Cefalu. The sea and coast line is stunning. You can snorkel and swim off decks in beautiful blue waters. Rooms and food offerings are very nice. We did find the resort very French orientated with not much English spoken. This may not suit some people. We felt this resort did not have the same warm and welcoming feel that we experienced in other club meds.

Beautiful resort, but a disappointing stay.
I'm not sure what defines this Clubmed as 'exclusive'. The scenery, grounds and accommodation are excellent. I'm not sure what the problem was, but every lunchtime it was a hunt to find a cleaned table. Many clients were hanging around and the staff were running around to get things done. Maybe a staffing problem I dont know, but it was frustrating. This Clubmed does not allow you to help yourself to water, wine or beer. More frustrating was the long delays getting table service for these items at lunchtime. Halfway through the holiday my family suffered upset badly stomachs. We reported this to reception and were told a manager would contact us. This never occured and then we heard that other clients had our problem and 2 chefs were sent home with the illness. I am only reporting this because having mentioned this to reception 3 times we still had no call from the management. Not even to ask if we needed medication. Hopefully this post will improve things for the future.
