Sikania Eco Resort

Tutto bene, cibo di qualità. Da rivedere un po’ la pulizia degli ambienti comuni e soprattutto la connessione a Internet nelle stanze

Here are the pros and cons for me after 1 week stay in mid September: - Pros - beautiful area, sea view rooms on the upper floor are very nice and spacious, nice staff, very clean everywhere- rooms, pool, alleys. Great coffee and drinks at the main bar at decent prices. Beautiful and well kept gardens. - Cons - the resort is very isolated, the food is repetitive and the main meals (pasta, fish and meat) are served by the staff, so sometimes you end up with mostly bones or fat. No vegetables for breakfast. The desserts didnt look very appealing and tasted like cheap cantine cakes, tgd only exeption was Sicilian night. Poor quality wine from a machine. The animation is in Italian only and in the evening ends after 23.30. The biggest issue for me is that the beach is almost non existent - only half of the umbrellas remain and it costs 15 eur, no matter how many people use it.

We went at Sikania last week and I would give them no more than 3 stars. The rooms were OK. The food not good at all. You had to queue for a good 10 min to get hot food which in the end was tasteless. 2/3 of the tables had reserved signs and we struggled to get one for ages. Begging the waitress to set us one. We paid for all inclusive only to be told at the bar that we need to pay for drinks , ice creams , water etc. 15 euros for sun lounge at the beach. The only good thing about the hotel were the entertainment staff. Always had a smile on their faces.

Here are some of the positives worth mentioning: 1) Staff were generally very courteous and polite; 2) Having allocated tables in the restaurant eliminates searching for a place to sit at mealtime; 3) Rooms are nice and air-conditioning was in good working order; 4) I love the greetings from Future club/people members at the entrance of the restaurant extended to incoming diners. Keep up the good work, guys and gals! Above being said, improving on a few of the services provided would make it an even better establishment, namely: 1) Food variety is quite limited with minimal variation from one day to the next, i.e. basically the same food items were served throughout our 7 day stay at the resort. There are no vegetables provided for breakfast, not even tomatoes, or other basic breakfast items such as fried whole eggs. Talking about tomatoes, even when they are provided, e.g. at lunchtime, they look and taste like they were sliced at least a day in advance. 2) No ice cream served with any of the meals at the height of the summer. Whatever happened to the likes of amarena ice cream, which Italy is famous for?!? 3) Coffee. Now Italy is world famous for its coffee and other Italian resorts I’ve been to provide the likes of espresso, cappuccino, etc. from proper, working with ground beans, coffee machines. Sikania has unfortunately opted for the undoubtedly cheaper powdered instant coffee option, with the real deal only available at the bar, for a price, of course. Real shame! 4) Another traditional Italian “dish”, the famous pizza, was absent from the provided food items altogether, but was available for the “modest” €10/pizza with a preorder from the day before. Words fail me ... 5) The waterline machines ARE NOT working outside meal hours, so the only drinking water option outside those periods is the bar, again for a price. 6) Beach line is the narrowest I’ve seen in a 4* resort, barely wide enough to fit a single row of chaise longs and there’s probably not a lot that can be done about that as it appears to be the result of nature reclaiming a significant chunk of the beach. The fact however that vacationing folk wanting to take a sun chair by the sea are charged €15/day is something that can and should be rectified! Btw, current TripAdvisor Sikania resort pictures of the beach in question display a rather wider entity, which doesn’t correspond to the status quo. If possible I will try to attach a couple of pictures of the beach as it stands today. 7) Internet and cell reception around the complex are spotty at best. Example: no WiFi inside the bar by the pool. 8) English is not widely used throughout the resort, so knowledge of some Italian is a must. I can see that the resort is mainly frequented by Italians, but still ... 9) There are mosquitos, unfortunately, sufficient in numbers to cause aggravation for the holiday goers, mostly during morning and evening hours. Not sure if this is due to lack of sufficient treatment to at least reduce t

This place is about 3* and very far from 4*. The food was pretty monotonous and bad. The coffee is from a machine and instant. The worst is the service - especially the restaurant managers. Be careful if you are late in the evening. The rooms were ok, but with very noisy mattresses that make noises with every movement. The only thing I liked was the sea. the water is very nice.
