Mangia's Himera Resort

Struttura molto bella, tenuta bene e pulitissima. Il cibo era molto buono.

Przepyszne posiłki, opcja all inclusive bardzo bogata, cudowna lokalizacja, bardzo miły personel zwłaszcza Menadżerka hotelu oraz recepcja. Bardzo polecam

We had a great time here, staff very kind, food and drink wonderful. Fabio, Samuel at the pool bar are very attentive, great guys, we thank you!

We stayed at this wonderful hotel for 5 nights in early August 2026 for a relaxing break after travelling around mainland Italy for just over a week. What a relaxing time we have had!
Firstly we have an airport transfer booked to take us to the hotel the hotel. This worked really well. We were warmly greeted upon arrival at the hotel and we're able to check in early for a small fee of €60.
We found our room, a suite, easily. It consisted of a lounge area with 2 made up sofa beds for the children, a hallway with bathroom off of it and then a bedroom with walk in closet. Both rooms had a balcony. The ac was great. Loads of storage space to unpack. Comfy beds. Coffee machine. Kettle. Teas and coffees. The only thing I could fault with the rooms were that there wasn't enough drying space for clothing/swimwear. We made do with clothes hangers off of tables and chairs on the balconies.
We then went and found the pool. There is only the one with a separate shallow section in the corner. Main part 120cm deep and child bit 60cm deep. We never had any problems finding sun loungers by the pool. Thee is a pool bar that opens at 10am. Great selection of all inclusive drinks. There is also a self service drinks machine in the bar area that does chilled water, lemonade, coke zero, coke and lemonade.
A small walk down past the pool through the gardens takes you to the beach. Again, never had to fight for sun loungers. There is a bar just before the beach, but it's not open every day. There is however the same self service drinks machine there too.
On the way to the beach is the kids club hut. My boys (8 & 10) went every day, at least twice! They loved it!! No need to book a slot. Just turn up during open times. It was a very relaxed environment with lovely staff. Lena, Leila and Dalila. Thank you for entertaining the children! They really enjoyed the crafts, puzzles playing on the swing, playing with jenga, guess who and most importantly Uno!!
The entertainment staff over all were great. Live music/singer most evenings. Kids entertainment at the amphitheatre several evenings. Kids film nights. Quiz nights. During the day there were sports tournaments (I discovered molkky), aqua gym and various fitness classes during the day too.
The food in the all inclusive restaurant was top class! Lots of variety across all 3 meals. Even for the fussiest of children. Dinner doesn't open until 7.30 which we thought was going to be a struggle with the children, but it really wasn't. By the time you've finished at the pool, gone back to your room, showered and dressed it's time to go to dinner. There is always a table of pastries and bread type things out near the bar between meals if you do get hungry though. The evening entertainment doesn't start until 2115 which again is really late, especially for the kids. As dinner is so late it is manageable.
Thank you everyone at Himera for a lovely break. I would definitely come back.

Pulizia e gentilezza

Location is remote but a lovely setting,
Needs more music playing in the daytime .Rooms are of a decent standard but small.But no tea/coffee in the room,
We were all inclusive but very limited choice of drinks,eg : no cocktails available.
Only food available from 12.30 lunch to 7.30 dinner was a small amount of pastries.
Animator team were attentive and friendly but inside from where activities took place had no aircon.
Entertainment very poor with mainly same singer nightly.
Not a great atmosphere.
Room cleanliness very high standard.
All in all we had an enjoyable holiday but probably wouldn’t return.

Positives

The rooms are clean, and well maintained, and the hotel is surrounded by nice green gardens that create a pleasant atmosphere. The staff are generally friendly, welcoming, and always smiling. If you enjoy organized activities, the hotel's entertainment team deserves special recognition. They are enthusiastic, dedicated, and arrange a wide variety of activities throughout the day.

Negatives

The carpets in the corridors were stained and clearly in need of a deep clean, which gave a poor first impression.
The beach itself is rather unremarkable and lacks the appeal you might expect from a resort destination.
The biggest disappointment was the food. It was consistently uninspiring and lacked both quality and flavor. For a hotel that promotes itself as a 4-star all-inclusive resort, the dining experience fell well below expectations and felt more like cafeteria food than restaurant-quality meals. It appeared that cost savings had taken priority over quality. The buffet included dry mozzarella, dry bread, and a large number of frozen products, including the fish and many of the vegetables.
The beverage selection was equally disappointing. Instead of branded soft drinks such as Coca-Cola or Pepsi, only a lower-quality dispenser alternative was included in the all-inclusive package. The soft drinks all tasted as though they were sugar-free, and guests had to pay extra for an original cola. The wine was also served from a dispenser, reinforcing the impression that inexpensive products were used throughout the all-inclusive offering.
The restaurant itself was very noisy and lacked a warm or inviting atmosphere. Staff frequently pushed carts loaded with dirty plates and tableware through the dining area, adding even more noise and making meals feel rushed rather than relaxing.
Finally, there were no coffee- or tea-making facilities or complimentary bottled water in the rooms, which is a basic amenity I would normally expect from a hotel advertised as 4-star.

Overall assessment

In my opinion, this hotel does not meet the standard one should reasonably expect from a 4-star all-inclusive resort. While the pleasant surroundings, friendly staff, and excellent activity team are definite strengths, they cannot make up for the disappointing quality of the food and drinks. Unfortunately, the overall experience did not justify the hotel's rating.

Beautiful hotel. The staff was so accommodating. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Our housekeepers Maria and Rosie did an excellent job. We can’t wait to come back!

We really enjoyed our week at Mangia’s. The grounds are beautiful, the food was excellent and the staff was lovely and attentive. Our cleaning lady, Adele, was so sweet and accommodating; she did such a wonderful job! Thank you for a memorable week.

Room 261
July 19-25, 2026

Great experience, food was good, service was excellent. Kudos to Maria, our room was always in superb condition everyday. Grazie Maria!

Perfect stay, thank you to Maria for the cleaning

A well run and clean hotel with lots of attentive staff. Our room was kept very clean daily by Maria. The food is varied, full of flavour, healthy and nicely presented. The staff who serve the inclusive drinks and coffee all day keep smiling and are polite. The grounds are well maintained, the pool area kept clean. We have found it easy to relax, but have also been in interesting day trips which the hotel staff were helpful with booking.

We have stayed in this resort for 12 nights in July 26. From the arrival, the staff is extremely helpful and welcoming, foing their best to help clients in every possible situation.
Food is very good for all inclusive resort - some dishes are repeated, some new, but everytime the selection is wide - pasta, fish, meat, salads, typical local foods.. Breakfast selection is similar everyday, but is is big as well.
Rooms are decent size, furnished very nicely, and, more importantly, clean (including bathrooms).
The pool area is usually crowded with families, so it was preferable for us to stay on the beach.
Beach is sandy wirh rocks, surely use swimming shoes for entry.
There is enough sunbeds and umbrellas, restaurant/bars do not get crowded even during rush hours, amazingly managed by all waitresses and waiters.
We had really enjoyable stay and are looking forward to return in the future!

Excellent service. All staff were great and very friendly.
We were made to feel very welcome, and the room was perfect.

As for the entertainment team, they’re simply amazing.

We loved Giacomo (Jack) —he’s a true showman. Always smiling and funny. He’s a great entertainer.

Debora brings such positive energy, whether to aquagym and other activities or to the evening shows. She’s a great dancer.
Bacci and Elia are also very friendly, and the fact that they speak several languages really helps the other guests feel included (English, Spanish, Portuguese/Brazilian).

As for the beach, I’m sorry they can’t clean up the rocks, because it has so much potential.
The lifeguards were also 5-star (Danilo, Patrick, Mirko).

Very nice location. Beautiful swimming pool. Excellent food! Rooms very clean. The animation team Fram was very professional, thank you to Dalila, Lena, Leila for kids club. The activities for children were very nice. My child was really happy!

We had a wonderful family 9 days with the whole family at the hotel.

Although the hotel itself is quite isolated the service and staff made up for it.

Although the buffet choice was somewhat limited we always managed to find something to eat. Most of my family are vegetarian so did at times struggle but the restaurant staff were very helpful and were always happy to prepare vegetarian pasta's to order which was much appreciated.

Special mention has to go to Guilia the front of house mananger who was always visible around the hotel and always found time to stop and chat to the guests.

The entertainment went above and beyond to make out stay an enjoyable one. Baci and Elia were amazing and were super friendly warm, and engaging. They were always ready to offer advice for getting out and about and just to chat. They really made it memorable.

What really made our stay truly memorable was celebrating my birthday at the hotel. Vinnie, Elia and Deborah presented me a cake during dinner and encouraged a packed restaurant to sing happy birthday to me.

The staff in the excursions office and reception were also very helpful and friendly.

Overall it was a fantastic break and we would recommend this place to anyone.
