Zahira Resort

Wir waren für eine Woche im Zahira, mit Freunden wurden wir vom stellvertretenden Direktor Luca und den Jungs an der Rezeption sehr gut empfangen, gleich danach ging es mit den Animateuren weiter, denen ich dafür danke, dass sie uns eine Woche voller Spaß, Freude und Licht beschert haben - Herzlichkeit, angefangen bei der Chefin Ilenia, Unterhaltung ❤️ Gaetano an der Spitze, ganz zu schweigen von Dario, der uns mit dem Shuttle zum Strand begleitete und den ganzen Weg tot vor Lachen und der süßen Silvia 💕 Ich lobe auch den Koch und Guglielmo und Umberto, die wir genossen haben Ausgezeichnete leckere Gerichte aus Fisch, Fleisch, köstliches Gemüse, Obst und Desserts, was kann ich mehr sagen. Vielen Dank. Super Animation ❤️

Do you want to taste real Italian cuisine, experience a great Italian atmosphere, have enough fun, but at the same time you don't want to be surrounded by hotels and tourists from all sides? This hotel have it all. A wonderful hotel with a beautiful garden. In a short distance from the hotel is a sandy beach with sunbeds, clean sea (relatively shallow, so also suitable for children), beach bar. The sand is incredibly fine, but not weathered, so when wind starts to blow it won't rise and stick into the skin. There is a bus that goes to the beach. The hotel also has a swimming pool (perfectly clean), sunbeds and a bar. Another bar is available at the reception. It is possible to rent a car or a bicycle. The hotel also offers various excursions. In the town of Tre Fontane (2.5 km from the hotel) there is a shop and a few shops where you can buy souvenirs. Animators take care of entertainment all day long. The language barrier is not a problem - just indicate that you want to join and the animators will take care of you. Absolutely unbeatable food. Everything fresh, lots of fish and seafood. Very helpful and accommodating staff. The only inconvenience - tiny disposable plastic cups. So you keep running for drinks. Otherwise - absolutely great vacation and absolute satisfaction.

I knew that this hotel was fairly out in the middle of nowhere when we booked. To be honest, I thought there would be snacks/pizzas, etc available nearby, but there really wasn't, so I would say that Full Board is the way to go, unless you have a car and plan to travel around. I messaged the hotel about a transfer from the airport to hotel in advance and Roberto was very helpful from the start, and all the arrangements went smoothly. He also arranged for a taxi to take us to nearby Selinunte one day, where we visited the archaeological park - well worth seeing! So, once we had sampled the food, we upgraded to full board. The food was delicious, with freshly cooked pasta and fish/meat every day, a selection of salads, and drinks on tap. Breakfast kept my daughter very happy with croissants, plenty of cakes and even doughnuts!! The best thing, however was the lovely waiters and waitresses who worked so hard, but still had time to be friendly and helpful - especially Vanessa (who could speak English luckily for us!), Salvadore & Alessio. We happened to arrive on the Ferr'agosto bank holiday weekend, so we were treated to some special extras like aperitivo on the terrace and a gala dinner around the pool with musical entertainment. We are not really entertainment/beach activities kind of people - but the 'Much More' team were so friendly & their enthusiasm was infectious, so we got involved with all the Italian families in beach games, morning stretching, salsa dancing & even a pool party on our final night! A very special thank you to Seline, Marco & Francesco for getting us involved and explaining the games to us in English! I cannot fault this hotel & its staff - it was perfect for us, as we were very happy to relax and spend every morning on the beach and every afternoon at the lovely pool. But there are lots of beautiful beaches & sights within easy reach if you have a car. This was our first trip to Sicily and it certainly did not disappoint - I bought back some of the local olive oil which is SO tasty with just bread dipped it and I tried some local wines which were also very good! But most of all, the people are incredibly friendly!
