Loved the chrispy chocolate croisants at breakfast !! An old school type of hotel with very helpful staff, 90'ies decor and good breakfast. Free parking at a big parkinglot next to the hotel (Great advantage because parking is always a problem in Italy). The beach is in front of the hotel and it is close to the sights in Cefalu. We loved it.

Good : Excellent location! On the beach and near the old part. Parking is in the lot just by the hotel, & they give you a ticket to get out without paying. To improve : The pillow was too hard (and I like hard pillows).

The hotel is close to the beaches, restaurants and shopping areas so it's very convenient. Nice view of the ocean for our hotel room. The wall of the hotel room is quite thin so you can hear your neighbor if they talk or laugh loudly. There is no USB port in the room to charge your phone so it's a bit of a nuisance. Parking at the hotel is small and limted. Otherwise, you have to park in the public parking spot.

We had a wonderful time in Chefalu, lovely sandy beaches and water. Hotel Riva Del Sol, perfectly located close to the beach, clean, friendly staff and a nice Italian breakfast. We were fortunate to get a room with full ocean view which was stunning. I would recommend Riva del Sol to anybody.

Excellent resort across from the beach. We had an ocean front room which made for excellent nightcaps on the balcony. Staff is amazing. The place could use some renos as it is a little outdated. Well kept and clean. If you are looking for a quiet place this place is not for you as you hear people talking till late. We were very happy with this resort as location was the best. We would definitely recommend and we hope to come back. Thank you Hotel Riva Del Sol for an amazing few days.
