Mangia's Himera Resort

Very modern and clean hotel. We travelled via train from Palermo to Campofelice and called the hotel for a hotel which cost €10. Hotel staff were super friendly and helpful even though their English was limited. Food was very good standard, bar had variety of good hot/cold drinks and cocktails. Beach is very pebbly so would advise swimming shoes, however water was clean and not too salty and lots of sun-beds on the beach. Pool was very clean and background music was very calming. Rooms were very clean with mini fridge, tv, hairdryer and air-con, however the hotel did not have an iron so make sure you bring one with you if you need. WiFi was strong around all around the hotel. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful hotel and room with a view,great food and fantastic staff.despite language barriers, as most guests and staff speaking French ,every effort made to include everyone in all activities .quiet location especially slightly out of season.

Had a lovely time in Sicily at Mangia's Himera Resort. The two of us spent a few days by the side of the pool which was really relaxing and went to Palermo on the train for the day. Ivana and Patrizia (Reception) were incredibly helpful in advising us how to get to the city, advised on what to see when we got there, provided a map and arranged a taxi to the train station - thanks so much for your assistance, it was greatly appreciated. The train station is a few minutes drive from the hotel and it cost 10EUR each way. The train to Palermo takes about 40 minutes and cost 6.5EUR per person each way (use the Trenitalia website to book - it's really simple and much better than purchasing and validating paper tickets). It's a beautiful city and definitely well worth the visit! Our room was 'compact' but more than adequate and was very modern and spotlessly clean like the rest of the hotel. We had a sea view but the sea is a fair distance away visually (could be my eyesight going) so I wouldn't spend extra to get a sea view unless you really wish to. It was lovely and quiet at night - no banging doors, loud music etc which is great for a good nights sleep! I needed an extra pillow which I always ask for in hotels; they very rarely actually arrive but in this instance, it was with us in 10 minutes so that was me happy. Food was sublime! Could have been a touch hotter at breakfast but loads of delicious seafood, various meats and salads each day. I can't recall a better all-inclusive food offer; rather than a massive variety of decent quality food as many hotels do, this was a decent variety of magnificent food. Red wine (on tap) was absolutely superb and the deserts were delicious too! The beach is OK but nothing to get excited about. Nice for a bit of relaxation away from the pool if that's your thing but probably not one for you is you're after miles of golden sands... Location is somewhat out of the way. Nowhere to walk to if you like a stroll - just something to bear in mind. If you fancy a peaceful, relatively low-key break in Sicily in a modern clean hotel with fantastic food, great wine lovely staff and lots of beautiful places to visit, Mangia's Himera Resort is definitely one to consider. We'd happily go back again.
