Costa Verde

Servizio pessimo, mangia

Do not believe the glowing reviews. We were extremely disappointed. The resort is far from Cefalu, there is nothing for miles near this resort. You will be very bored. To get to Cefalu you need to catch the bus it's minutes away. The rooms are very basis. We took one look at out very basic room and decided to check out. We were told we would be charged a supplement for learning they offered us another room on a higher floor with a view of the sea and not just the motorway with vehicles thundering along. There is not entertainment and the tv. programmes are all in Italian so unless you have a good book you will are very bored. Food is disgusting same old cold pasta every day and night. The best option is the small pizzeria in the basement, at least they are cooked fresh each day. This is one of the worst hotels we ever stayed at. Shame on you Jet2 holidays. Shame on Stansted airport voted 'The worst Airport in the UK'.by Trip Advisor and the Independent. Never Again. .

From the airport is a 2 hour ride so with kids they need there tablets. As raw dogging as the youth call it is beyond them looking out the window 😂 For an all inclusive there is a set menu each day in the main restaurant which is a refreshing change for an all inclusive. They have Sicily night, and all the flavours of Italy which is great. This means if you like chicken nuggets and chips, it’s not for you. They have a voucher system to allow you to go to various restaurants in the hotel which is a great change of scenery and taste. Pizzeria, Garden restaurant (Italian), Grill, Beach restaurant and main restaurant. The main restaurant is your base and you sit at the same table. Breakfast is very Italian, pastries and coffee or hotdog sausages eggs and tomatoes cheeses etc. They offer pack lunches if you are going on an early trip. The beach restaurant food is good and the environment is nice, but you have about an hour to eat it, so you have to turn up on time which is a very rushed scenario. Ok so the beach, you’ll need swim shoes due to it being sharp sand and stones. Free 10min bus ride. The beach in Cefalu is sandy and nicer but super crowded. Bus ride is 20mins and is about £4.20 return. Those beach shoes come in handy for the free water park on all inclusive though you have to pay for good and drink in the park . The park is good but gets busy at weekends. The issue there is you need to pay £10 for 2 beds and a parasol. The hotel pools are shallow warm and good, no issues with sun beds. Towels are £2 each for the week for laundry and a returnable £20 each. Crazy for a Hotel, that claims 5 star status? Now the penny pinch continues with no drinks in your fridge, no mini bar, no bottles of free water apart from at breakfast lunch and dinner which you can’t take out of the restaurant? You can’t fill your own bottles. So you order little plastic cups of water all the time because you are so dehydrated. Obvs you can go to a supermarket in Cefalu, but who at a hotel wants to do that, this absolutely ruins the whole experience. Entertainment was typical, but some not suitable for family young kids entertainment.
