I Giardini di Athena – Athena Resort

I absolutely fell in love with this place, thanks to all the beautiful people that work here, you were all part of this magic. I loved everything, food, rooms, activities, service, atmosphere, 5 stars everywhere. Perfect for any type of family, if you have a numerous family you don't have to be afraid to travel anymore. Love from Manchester.

Traing football camp at Athena Resort Very nice place for such activities. Football facilities very good for such camps. Evening entertainment very available after a long day of training. Desire is the probabbly the best evening entertainer

I visited Athena resort with my friends in early June 2024. We were part of an organized tour with Abax tour company from Sofia, Bulgaria. I have no words to describe our wonderful experience. Athena resort is like being in a heavenly garden - beautiful, colorful bougainvilleas and oleanders, olive trees, palms and huge cactus-trees surround the small two-floors buildings. You never get tired of these amazing sights. It leaves you breathless from the first day until the last. The rooms are renovated, space, very nice bathrooms, showers. The second floor rooms have terraces that oversee the beautiful landscape. The service was perfect. The staff at the reception was very helpful and accommodating. The restaurant staff was very nice and pleasant. The food - every day was surprise - the variety, the taste - everything was amazingly delicious. The chef might have been easily from the highest star restaurant. The beach is about 8-9 min from the resort but there is shuttle that goes every half an hour to and from so that was actually very pleasant. There is also a little Pharmacy, Market place and a gift store in the complex. The excursions to the cities Taormina, Modica, Syracuse were delightful experience. Our guide Anna was a real gem - she made us see Sicily through the eyes of the local person. She made us feel and respect the history of this amazing part of Italy and its people. Thank you, Anna. If you want nice beach vacation and like to visit beautiful cities, so rich in history and traditions, Athena Resort is the place to go. Thank you Athena resort.

The most horrible hotel, zero service, money thrown down the drain, the description on the website does not correspond at all, the food is very bad and tasteless, the drinks are of the worst quality, everything is mixed with water, basic things are missing, not even water they don't have anything to drink in the rooms, I absolutely do not recommend the place, avoid this crappy hotel as much as possible

Waited over 4 hours to get into a room which was dark and dingy and dirty. Supposedly being cleaned. Tried to complain and the reception staff so rude. Have checked out and got booked in another hotel. Could not stay in this hotel. It’s a complete shambles. Kids and dogs everywhere.
