Things to know
before you go

Choose a sea-view category if the coastline is a major reason for staying here.
Use the resort as a Cefalù/north-Sicily base rather than expecting a Caribbean-style all-inclusive.

Mangia's Pollina is a beach resort on Sicily's north coast near Cefalu, for families who want private sand and a base for the coast. It is a four-star with a private beach, a pool and a kitchen running Italian and international, and its rooms climb from 22 to 34 square metres with a sea view offered at most sizes. All-inclusive is sold on some rate plans rather than as the resort's single product, so the board basis is what to confirm at checkout.
Guests praise the private beach and the coastal setting, the sea-view rooms, the family atmosphere, and the pool and grounds. The complaints are all-inclusive terms that are not clearly published, dining variety thinner than a large resort's, and a location that wants a car. The thing people wish they had known is that this is a Sicilian beach resort with optional plans rather than a Caribbean-style all-inclusive, and that the beach is stronger than the plan.
Where a rate carries all-inclusive, expect the Italian and international dining and the seaside bars, with the premium-label coverage unconfirmed; wellness treatments, excursions and the airport shuttle are extra, and that shuttle from Palermo runs about 70 to 80 euros a person return. Hire a car if you mean to see Cefalu and the Madonie. The 25-square-metre Superior with Sea View is the value, the 27-square-metre Deluxe Room with Sea View is the bigger view, and the 34-square-metre Suite is the most space. Anyone who wants a full all-inclusive programme should look at the resorts on the island's south coast.
