Serenusa Resort
Things to know
before you go
Serenusa Resort is a true Bluserena all-inclusive-style family resort on Sicily's south coast near Licata.
It is strongest for families with children and teens who will use clubs, sports, water slides and organized entertainment.
Dining feedback is more mixed than the family-facility feedback, so food-focused travelers should calibrate expectations.
Things guests wish they had known
The strongest reason to choose Serenusa is the Bluserena family-club infrastructure, not luxury dining.
The beach is private and sandy, but rooms are about 300 m away on a terrace above the sea.
Some beach positions, private lessons, towed water sports, wellness and transfers cost extra.

Serenusa is a big Italian family resort on Sicily's south coast, for parents who want four age-banded children's clubs and a sandy seabed. It is about 105 minutes from Catania, with 490 rooms, three pools including one with waterslides, and a private fine-sand beach about 300 metres below the rooms. The clubs run from three-year-olds to seventeen-year-olds in four bands, with a baby kitchen, and that machinery rather than the food is the reason to book.
Guests praise the clubs and the teen programming, the private sandy beach and the pools with slides, the animation team, and the renovated rooms. The complaints are food that is inconsistent despite the choice, room categories that do not match their photographs, and front-row beach places and some services that cost extra. The thing people wish they had known is that the beach sits 300 metres from the rooms below a terrace, and that Licata is not walkable from here.
The plan covers the central buffet, the bars and Wi-Fi, the four children's clubs and the group lessons in sailing, windsurfing, canoeing and paddle surfing; Il Gusto and the Le Onde beach restaurant open seasonally and by booking, and the front-row beach places, the private lessons, the towed water sports, the wellness centre and the transfer are extra, while the minibar comes with the Premium rooms rather than the standard ones. Premium Sea View adds that minibar, a coffee machine and the view, Family Balcony divides one room in two, and Connecting Balcony sleeps six. Food-first travellers should set expectations by the clubs instead.
