Mangia's Himera Resort

Beautiful facility, very well maintained, well run, large room. Staff tries to be very helpful. But you ultimately need a car to visit any sites and the guests are overwhelmingly French. The beach is rocky and small. The breakfast was the worst meal we had in Italy by far. Managia does an awesome job as a self contained, all inclusive resort. It’s extremely clean, extremely well organised and has all the amenities you’d expect from this type of property. But if you don’t speak French and / or want to spend a lot of time in places like Noto, you’re better off staying elsewhere.

We had to spend €5 per towel and was not able to eat a single thing between 2pm and 7pm. Food was inedible and low quality. Super mass and the pool smelled funny.

Not for the British Im afraid..obv a French/Italian all inc holiday hotel.. Miles from any eateries...so why offer B&B?.....and the breakfast was poor continental style .... AI option was for all other nationalities..."but not for you".....actually spoken to me CAR is essential ..please make this known

We had a great time at Himera resort. The staff are very friendly. Room is super clean very comfortable and nicely furnished. Breakfast is nice with plenty of choices and fresh food! The hotel manager kindly arranged for us a very special romantic dinner with Sicilian specialities menu in the beautiful garden. They have a lot of activities all day. The animation team is very active. They arranged for a lot of dances, games and shows !

Reviews really misrepresent - it’s awful here Currently staying here and arrived on Friday. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere. Unless you are All Inclusive you will have very little choice of places to eat. Supermarket is miles away. Hotel staff are really rude and not helpful at all. Hotel is really noisy and full of families. It’s impossible to get to sleep before the early hours of the morning. Staff follow me and my partner around the hotel as if they think we are going to steal things! I’ve never received such shocking service. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel at all. Also, you won’t get any help from staff unless you are fluent in Italian. Nobody speaks English.

This hotel is probably great if your intention is to be at the hotel 24/7, eat buffe and attend their activities. It could be located in any tourist place in the world as it is no signs of you being in so Sicily once you check in here. We arrived at 9.30 pm and then the restaurant was already closed (very early for Italy), the staff was not at all helpful to find a restaurant close by where we could go, closest restaurant was about 10 min drive so would recommend to have a car if you intend to see anything outside of the hotel. Staff does not speak English very well so it was useless calling the reception to ask for things (we tried to ask for an iron board without success). However, the rooms are clean and nice.

This resort is a family friendly resort that seems to cater to French, Dutch, and German tourists. Starting with the positives, the decor is well done. The lobby and common areas are well appointed. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. Aurora in the restaurant in the morning deserves special recognition for her warmth and accommodating attitude. The massage with Michele was superb. Now to the negatives which unfortunately outweigh the positives. We’ve traveled many places in Sicily and easily find good food. Unfortunately the food here is well below Sicilian standards. Breakfast never varied over our four night stay. No salumi selection (only turkey meat and Swiss cheese). For hot food only crepes or omelette with cheese (no additions). Coffee was instant, brewed coffee extra. There was a party every night with loud music, so much so we had to raise the volume of our TV. The parties ended at midnight. The safe in our room did not function but we decided not to request a repair. It is billed as a four star resort but that is generous. If you’re a family looking for activities to occupy your children day and night then this might suit you just beware the food will not be at the level Sicilians are known for.

The hotel is new and clean, staff is nice. We‘d recommend not using disposable cups at the pool and having fresher, healthier food. Also, please have real coffee for breakfast instead of instant coffee.
