VOI Marsa Sicla Resort

Just returning from a relaxing 10night stay. We loved the hotel layout and the gardens are beautiful, get a delux room if you can, as you get additional benefits which are worth it. The Pool is amazing and there are always plenty of beds. The beach is beautiful, and again you can always get a bed. The own is a ten minute walk and we recommend the seafood restaurant on the beach front Rabbuso trattoria di Mare (excellent). We were half board, as it’s not easy to get to the town at night and taxis are expensive. Their pizza option is excellent. Overall we would recommend

This hotel is well thought out staff are attentive and eager to help. Little touches make a difference like having regular shuttles to the nearby beach. Also having an allocated table in the restaurant was helpful. The food choices were excellent and varied. The pool was excellent and the grounds are beautifully landscaped. Rooms are comfortable and cleaned daily. It is advantageous to have a car to explore the locale or to visit the local supermarket. Overall we had a relaxing holiday in a tranquil environment.

The positives are the dining options, the pool and sports facilities. The negatives are primarily the room. Very basic especially the bathroom. The systems used by the hotel such as a charge card to order drinks was odd especially as the bar does not take cash. There were no waiters to take orders by the pool. You had to physically go to the bar area in the reception to order and collect drinks. There is also a 20 euro towel deposit each which can only be paid for by cash.

Beautiful resort set in stunning grounds, fantastic large pool and very comfortable sun loungers. All staff around the hotel,pool and the beach are friendly, very helpful and really want you to have a relaxing stay with them.

Travelled with Jet2, this was a new resort for them. Delighted with my choice. Late arrival at hotel, checked in, golf cart to transfer luggage to room, then back for a cold plate selection which was unexpected. The selection was very varied which meant there would be something on the plate to suit most folk. My room was upstairs, spacious with plenty of storage and a nice shower room equipped with big, soft towels and nice hand soap etc. Full board which I chose because this was to be a restful holiday and I knew unless I hired a car eating out wasn’t really an option . The food was plentiful and varied with different menu choices daily for lunch and dinner. Menu available on the hotel app, but it was definitely nicer to look around the food stations to see what was on offer before making any choices. Chefs, serving staff and table waiters were all very helpful, friendly and accommodating. The senior staff were all friendly and efficient too. Obtaining a hotel card (reception put your chosen amount on the card, paid upfront, refunding unused balance on departure) removed the need to carry cash or debit cards which was excellent as drinks from the bar are paid for rather than charged to the room. Bar staff, pool staff, beach staff, activity team en entertainers were all friendly and helpful. Boccaccia on the beach as the only non Italian speaker was fun and friendly. The site is easy to navigate, buggies to the beach were frequent with great drivers, always happy to get you where you wanted to be. Beautiful sandy beach, but this was early in the season and winds meant paddle boarding etc was not possible. Rooms are very quiet as they are set away from the sport/ pool and main hotel block housing the bar and restaurant. As more people arrived more staff appeared so I imagine even at the height of the season service would be just as good. Unable to go to Syracuse/Ortega on a tour due to insufficient numbers the Jet2 rep suggested we talk to the hotel trip co-ordinator who was brilliant. We agreed to share a taxi which she arranged for us, and for less than the tour would have cost we had a brilliant day doing our own thing, so I do recommend talking to the hotel if you want to explore the area. I had a fabulous week here, the hotel delivered everything promised in a delightful way. I hope to return.
