Acacia Resort

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!

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.

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!
