We spent 4 nights at Mangia's Brucoli Resort for a family vacation, and overall, it was a delightful experience. The resort is situated on a beautiful stretch of coastal terrain, steeply sloping all the way down to the sea, which provides stunning views and easy access to the water. The gardens and lawns are meticulously maintained, adding to the resort’s charm and serene atmosphere. Our family stayed in four standard rooms, which were comfortable and equipped with coffee machines and mini-refrigerators. The facilities at the resort, including the swimming pools, were excellent—perfect for both adults and children. There is also a small, rocky beach onsite, and I’d recommend bringing water shoes to make the experience more enjoyable. The hotel offers several dining options, and the food was consistently delicious. However, the service in some of the restaurants was noticeably slow, which was a bit disappointing for a resort of this caliber. Additionally, the hotel administration could be more efficient; we encountered a few minor organizational hiccups that one wouldn’t expect from a 5-star establishment. A highlight of our stay was the nearby village of Brucoli, just a short distance from the resort. It has several great dining spots, but Pizzicotto da Napoli—a family-run, affordable trattoria—deserves special mention for its fantastic food and warm hospitality. In summary, Mangia’s Brucoli Resort offers a relaxing coastal getaway with lovely scenery, great amenities, and easy access to local charm. While there’s room for improvement in service, it’s still a wonderful destination for families looking to unwind and explore.

This hotel is absolutely lovely. People who work in the hotel are charming, nice vibe about all the staff we had contact with. The location is beautiful, 20mins walk from the small chilled out seaside town, Brucoli. The rooms are lovely and spacious, comfortable beds, everywhere in hotel spotlessly clean. The resort as luscious and green, with different spots, pools, beach areas, little gardens, sports areas and canoes. We tried bistro and pizzeria, food excellent fresh quality and reasonably priced. Finally, breakfast had lots of varied fresh quality choices. The water taxi made a nice little trip too.

I try to give fair honest reviews, and have stayed in lots of nice hotels with little things to dislike, but I couldn’t find anything to dislike about this place at all.

the size of the resort was excellent, big, spacious but not overcrowded. the staff were incredibly friendly and the range of cocktails were excellent and tasty. food options were also good with 4-5 restaurants available with 1-2 closed depending on day. Pizza's were particularly good. Breakfast was excellent with a huge range to choose from, with Barista available and non dairy options.

the Location of the resort is remote, so ensure you have transport arranged so you can explore ( if this is what you want). while the staff are friendly and service is excellent in most cases, we did witness a gap in sevice at the bar area on a number of occasions where it could be improved for a 5 star resort - sometimes at the bar area being left for 10-15 minutes to get an order placed. once placed, service was quick enough.

The rooms we very clean and super comfortable. The pool and deck area is lovely. On a clear day, Mt Etna makes a sensational appearance. On the deck, looking out to sea and look left; there she is. Such a treat. All the restaurants are conveniently located with good choices and good food. All the staff are friendly. The tennis facilities were great too. The breakfast buffet had everything you could want, especially the omolette's and barista coffee and alternative milk choices. It was very convenient to have a Eurocar hire agent in reception. Brucoli is centrally situated for hiring a car to visit Taormina and Siracuse and Ortega. And not expensive.

I would not have attempted walking into Brucoli this late in the season. Because of uneven roads, it is not well lit at all. Taking a taxi is the best idea, a bit expensive at €20 each way.

The resort is really nice and big, the rooms are renovated, the swimming pools are great, even the acces to enter the sea was not that bad, giving that there's no sand. Water was clean, had a wonderful experience snorkeling. Plenty of sunbeds, it never felt crowded. Breakfast was delicious and we had a lot of options to chose from. Pizzeria and the grill bar had good food. And the sushi bar had a great setting next to the sea.

There is no warm water to shower, in the morning and in the evening. Service at some restaurants was very very slow, they are understaffed, we had to wait more than 40 mins to be seated, and 45 minutes for 2 cocktails. There are 5 restaurants in the resort, but not so many options to choose from, especially traditional foods. You need a car if you want to go out of the resort to visit, because it's remote. It would be nice to have a waiter to serve drinks and maybe some food at the pool and beach area

Breakfast offered a big variety. Separate coffee bar to order proper coffee. Co-working opportunity was quiet, chilled, free drinks were provided. Big resort with over 400 rooms but never an issue to find a spot at the pool or the beach. Gym is well equipped. Open 24 hours. Restaurants are not cheap but food was good. Bathroom is nice with proper light and different mirrors. Well smelling shampoo, conditioner and shower gel available. Parking inside resort. Safe and for free. Drinks at the pool were tasty but not cheap. Great cocktails at Kaigan sushi bar.

Service was lackluster sometimes. Pool bar closing too early at around 5pm. Spritz 10 Euros vs proper cocktails also 10 Euros. Didn’t find proper TV channels in other languages.

The hotel is beautiful. It is in a great location though you need your own transport to visit the surrounding area. The breakfast and restaurants are great. The staff are also generally very friendly and helpful.

The service at the weekend when it was very busy was less good, especially at the Pool Bar. There were a couple of times that the restaurants did not live up to expectations - the avocado in the Pool Bar salad was guacamole from a jar and the pricing of the fish and steaks in the Grill bought by weight was not clear and more costly than expected. For us these were slight downsides to what was a brilliant stay.

There was a variety of foods at breakfast. Selections to choose from. Staff was very pleasant, helpful, and knowledgeable. Always greeted us with a smile on the front desk to the luggage handlers. The location was extraordinary. However I think they can use more staff, as some of the tables were not cleaned and at the omelette station the cook just trying to manage many different things. Our experience at the grill was not a pleasant one. We went there earlier in the day, knowing that they didn’t take reservations, and we’re guaranteed that they would set a table aside for us. However, when we got there, there was no table and we had to wait an hour to be seated. Again, I felt as if they were shortstaffed. There were also areas of the resort that could have been a little cleaner, the steps leading to the rooms. There were many bugs in the area and some in room.

See above There should have been more lighting on pathways and stairways as many times in the evening it was hard to navigate. Also, more signage would’ve helped. Pointed to the different areas.

The resort's landscaping is great and well kept. The breakfast was impressive and delicous. The houskeeping lady came every night to make the evening bed and ask if we need sth. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. We love the stay, especially the nights in the pizzaria and sushi bar.

The location is quiet but its quite far way from the town and you need a car to reach some basic infrastucutre facilities such as ATM or Pharmarcy. If you want the room service, it could take very long to get some one on the call and the room service staff don't speak good Englsh and can hardly unterstand the order. The same problem could also occur with the reception. If you call them between 11am and 4pm, it seems that the reception is overloaded. Part of our bathroom ceiling was water damaged and need to be renovated.

We loved this hotel. It is built in a way that makes you feel very intimate because of the way that the rooms are spread out. It is very big but seems like everything is close. The pool was great and we enjoyed kayaks and SUPs at the beach. Breafast is very diverse and is served in convenient hours.

We were disappointed at the sushi restaurant because we had to wait a long time to sit and when we finally sat they ran out of rice and we couldn't order everything that we wanted. They were very nice but that didn't help because our kids left hungry and disappointed.
