Mangia's Himera Resort

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.

The Hotel was really nice and clean. The garden was looking beautiful too. Location was more suitable for people who wanted to stay at the hotel and relax rather then explored the area as the weren’t any local restaurants or shops near by. Atmosphere at the hotel was nice too. Value was okay for the time of the year. Rooms are very spacious and very clean with everyday service. Noise level was okay,, too quiet during the day with no music at the pool. Food wasn’t so great in my opinion as most of the dishes were either too salty, too little or not enough to served all the guests. Entertainments were not translated to English so it was pointless to attended especially for guests who didn’t speaking Italian. We bough All inclusive service to enjoy the stay, but you need to be aware that this package is only valid from 7am to 11pm. so if you want a cup of tea after the 11pm you will need to pay for it! Also, there was only one water bottle in the room available for us for a whole stay, additional water bottle where not free of charge. Also in a beach bar you won’t be able to get a beer but if you want one, you need to pay extra for it as well!

Without exception, every member of staff went above and beyond to ensure all guests felt welcomed. Special shout out to Elia, Giacomo and Bacci , who work their socks off and are brilliant at what they do. Also to Gessica, for being such an attentive waitress. Superb varied Italian food at its best, kept immaculately clean everywhere , room seemed newly decorated, staff were fabulous. Never a problem getting a beach bed and umbrella, whatever time of day you went down to the beach. Free use of kayaks and SUPs. Wonderful holiday! Nothing but positive superlatives.

Nice hotel food quality ok for price range, never a problem to get a sun lounger at pool or beach. Beach very stoney so need beach shoes to enter the sea. Rooms a little small but modern and cleaned every day by Maria to a very high standard. Air conditioning very effective. No kettle provided in room. Hotel remote with nowhere to walk to at night.

Excellent stay! Beautiful location, the staff and hotel were amazing!! We went for my husband’s birthday in a party of 7. Samuel and Julia gave us a truly wonderful bubbles and anti pasti sunset!! There is so much for everyone!!! Thank you

We enjoyed our stay here, although the hotel is quite remote. One week was probably enough for us, as we like to get out and about.
However, it's s easy to get the train to Palermo and Cefulu (taxi to the station was 10 Euros). The trains are very clean and reliable.
The food is good and varied, and of a very good quality.
The hotel is spotlessly clean. The maids do an excellent job and always greet you whenever you see them in the corridors.
The bar staff are friendly and hardworking. We had good service with a smile from Fabio and Giuseppe..
We also found the staff in reception were very helpful.

The hotel is great. The food is very delicious and wide variety. The stuff is very nice, especially Maria is so nice and she cleaned our room excellently.

Tiszta és modern szobák, gyönyörű, ápolt park, kiválóan, luxus körülmények között lehetett strandolni, udvarias, készséges volt a személyzet.

A very clean hotel, lovely rooms and grounds. Food was nice but minimal - if you were a picky eater you would struggle as there weren’t many options on food but it was all freshly cooked. We went all inclusive so you would expect all drinks and food to be covered…it was not. Only wine, beer and a few selected cheap spirits were included - you had to pay extra for real coke all they gave you was roller cola! An Aperol spritz was 9 euros and Hugo spritz was 12 euros which is ridiculous considering you’ve paid extra to be all inclusive and you can’t even have a spritz. This should definitely be put on the advert for the hotel so people know what they’re actually paying for. At the bar near the beach they only had paper cups and no beer at all so ‘sunset drinks’ didn’t hit the same. In our room there also wasn’t a kettle or any way of us getting a kettle in there which was a shame. Overall it was a good experience we had a nice week but the lack of drinks were a shame as you’re in the middle of nowhere so can’t go elsewhere.

Excellent service. All staff were great and very friendly. Hotel is isolated but the staff gave great advice and answer any questions I had.

Julia is one of the managers at the hotel. She made sure everyone has what they need, very nice girl, and did not seem to mind my non stop talking.

Elia and baci were good guys who work there anwere great with my non stop talking and having a laugh.

Guests at hotel were nice. Really cute kids. Everyone happy.

Thanks to all.
Sunny.

Hotel manager met us personally and took our luggage to our room. Facilities were great and we enjoyed our stay.

La colazione era buonissima, purtroppo la spiaggia non era bellissima

There was a lot to like - very private beach spot, good breakfast and all inclusive bar, spacious rooms, and very friendly waiter/receptionist staff. Communal areas like the lobby were also really nicely done, useful shop onsite for suncream (which we ran out of) etc. Also a great value shuttle service to Cefalu, which I'm really glad we took!

Food was good - the hot breakfast items were OK, but pastries, hams, and cheeses were very good. Pastas at both lunch and dinner were also great, as well as other hot and cold options. Plenty of fresh salad and fruit and fish.

Also - there are kayak (double and single) and paddleboards for guests to use free of charge which was really fun, no time limits, no rip off, and was kind of just subtly there for those who fancied it, which we really enjoyed.
