ProKite Alby Rondina - Resort -

Nice place, good kitespot for beginners and freestyle. Nice accommodation, good food, good outdoor space and very friendly staff.

We have just spent a week in the resort, this being our second time to visit the centre. If you are looking for the ‘Rolls Royce’ centre in Sicily for kite boarding then this is it. Brilliant accommodation right on the spot. There’s the option of apartment or hotel accommodation. You can cook your own meals or avail of breakfast on site which is excellent.

Starting with the good to the great: - Very cool surfing beach summer vibe - Amazing view - Great food at the beach bar - best tuna steak - The staff is amazing, always available, know all the best places in the area for anything, very accommodating, multi lingual - Cool kitesurf shop and selection - Alby was around greeting guests and smiling - Good cleaning staff - Great space, kiters paradise, lots of space for kite set-up before launching - BBQ was present in the villa! Always a plus. Details that can be improved to take it to a 5: - the sink, shower, bidet drain covers were all removed and the little hand soaps are the same circular slightly smaller size and kept sliding out of our hands and going down the drains, that can't be good for the plumbing. The covers would have blocked the soaps from going down the hole. - missing hooks to hang clothes and towels in the bathrooms and bedrooms, never underestimate the importance of hooks. Had to pile up wet towels on chairs all over the house. - have a larger drying rack to hang wet bathing suits and beach towels in the back yard - villa needs a boiler for tea, had to make tea in a big cooking pot with scrath marks from past guest and it tasted like beef broth instead of green tea. - properly warn people about stinging seaweed and high probablity that beginners are going to get stung on their bum and legs if they don't wear a wet suit, it's even more painful/risky for people with allergies/allergic reactions. - more instructors to ensure same teacher/student continuity during the week to fully support/guage skill improvement - items to add for additional profit and complete guest services: swimming pool, yoga classes, Karaoke night - if possible find way to provide shelter that attracts bats in order to control mosquitos A final note on the Stagnone lagoon as the overall location for those that got up and started kiting in the group, that despite it's overall beauty, and unfortunately inconsistent wind in June, it was a challenge with all the traffic from the other kitesurfers and difficult to avoid kite tangles with each other. Overall, we loved the experience and plan to come back to ProKite.
