Pantelleria Resort

What a fabulous 4 days! Suvaki Resort in Pantalleria is run by lovely people - the staff, the management, the waiters/ waitresses, the animators and the cleaners. The stars of the show are the 1. snorkelling direct to the sea from the hotel. 2. the pool which is lovely and big and has unrivalled views of the Med over to Tunisia. 3. The excursion to the salt lake (Venus' Mirror). Why only 4 and not 5. Well - it's quite pricey and for full board you'd expect more. The breakfast is good but lunch and dinner are mediocre at best - with pretty much the same each day. Some of the dishes are all the same eg aubergine (but equally tasteless). In some cases asked ourselves at the end of dinner - what have we just eaten? as it was so bland. 2 further criticisms - despite the huge cost you can't get drinking water other than to buy it from the bar - there's no water fountain to top up a water bottle. This is an issue if you're going on an excursion which I've paid over £120 for - doesn't even come with water! - it's a basic human necessity and not including it is petty. I also paid £80 for their 'clubcard' which didn't even get me any water. So overall I'd paid nearly £2300 for 4 nights full board including excursion but outside of meals I couldn't even get a glass of water without having to buy it! The rooms are basic - the wifi barely works and the TV didn't work (I didn't want to use it but if I did I wouldn't have been able to). Back to the staff - the restaurant staff are brilliant! as are the animators. An example of the restaurant staff - there was no butter offered for bread at dinner, and seeing me look for some a waitress came back with some on a plate - what great service. Our sightseeing host (English speaking) was delightful and informative. Getting to Suvaki resort - we were met off the ferry from Trapani and driven to the airport - all easy.

A wonderful place! Pantelleria is beautiful, but to have an unique trip you must stay in Hotel Village Suvaki. It's a beautiful complex, with pool, gym, a private beach (what is a great thing in Pantelleria) and a great restaurant. The pool is really big and you can have activities during the whole day. The staff is just supreme and offers activities for all the ages - really, everyone can participate. The hotel has a private beach, and it's great, because the beaches access in Pantelleria can be a difficult. The hotel beach is really beautiful and the water is warm. About the rooms, they are really good and the cleaning is perfect! But the best part is definitely the restaurant. The food is really good and it always changes, you can taste really good and different food. Definitely worths! I did the hotel cruise, and I have to say: it was a great. The boat was really big and you have food, water and wine during the day!

Il Suvaky Resort (Pantelleria Resort) è un’oasi di serenità, cordialità e relax dove ci si sente sempre coccolati da uno staff premuroso e sempre disponibile che ti fa sentire a casa. La struttura, ben organizzata, ha una piscina top, spazi verdi ben curati e vanta una posizione strategica per girare l’isola. Cucina top (dalla colazione alla cena si mangia tanto e benissimo), servizi offerti a prezzi competitivi e servizio animazione eccellente. Un plauso va proprio allo staff animazione di Quinto Elemento che in modo discreto ma sempre presente ha saputo allietare le giornate (da quelle di sole a quelle di vento forte) proponendo ogni sera diversi spettacoli da quelli più goliardici a quelli più inaspettati come la serata Jazz, una vera sorpresa che non ti aspetti in un resort (consiglierei di replicarla anche più volte)…complimenti alla bravissima Nicoletta che ha saputo coordinare i ragazzi premurosi e professionali come Daniele, Giada, Ludmilla, Nicole e Matteo! grazie per aver reso indimenticabile la vacanza
