  Very good place to stay if you visit Southwest Sicily.

  The hotel is not really 4 stars as per European standards, but you should consider that Sicily is not as developed as the other part of Europe and the availability of good places to stay in Southwestern part of Sicily is really limited. Having said that, Zahira hotel, located on the outskirts of Tre Fontane (a suburb of Campobello di Mazara) is a really good option to stay and explore the area. We stayed in this hotel during the October half-term vacation (end of October). You should never go there without a car, as the hotel is in the middle of nowhere. It is surrounded by wild fields, outside the village Tre Fonrane. The village cannot offer much either. In the end of October it seems totally deserted - not only there are no people and no cars on the streets (as it is out of season), but there are no open shops or restaurants. There is nothing interesting you can do in the hotel either - you cannot use the outdoor swimming pool at the end of October (and the pool is poor quality), you can only stay in the room, which is nothing to write home about... Hence it makes sense to stay in this hotel only if you decided to explore the area - and if you rented a car from Palermo airport. Palermo is one hour drive - north, Agrigento is one and a half hour drive - east, Marsala is one hour drive - northwest. There is a lovely archeological park -Selinunte, just 20km from the hotel, which is definitely worth visiting. The food in the hotel was fantastic! We had full board, but due to the touristic programs we were carrying out, we couldn't have lunch every day - but even in this case I would recommend full board, because firstly there is no other option for a meal in the area, secondly the food in the hotel is exceptionally good (always four course meal), extremely delicious (the lovers of sea food would be pleased), and thirdly the price we got for end of October for 4 member family was a real bargain! Just to clarify - they call it "all inclusive", but in fact it us full board - breakfast, lunch and dinner at specific times. No drinks included between the meals - even you should buy your water from the bar. Hence, this has nothing to do with all inclusive in Spanish hotels, for example, but if you know that, you would avoid disappointment and enjoy the excellent quality food. I've seen some negative reviews about Zahira hotel and I would partially agree with some of them - it is true that it is in the middle of nowhere, it is true that the quality is not 4 stars. If this hotel was somewhere else in Europe, then I would rate it as 3 stars, but having in mind the area and the quality of the food - I would rate is 4 stars. You simply don't have many better options to explore Southwest part of Sicily.

  It's ok...could be better.

  The hotel has a great potential but looks like is been left with lots of works yet to do. Not really a resort...and not really a 4 stars like many customers said. However we had a good time but we won't be back here. Good for families because you can reach without problem the pools and the beach.

  Amazing holiday, everything you could want for the price

  I had one of my best holidays ever. For the price everything was pretty much perfect, we went all inclusive and had lovely food. The staff were great especially the entertainment staff, Marco, Laura and Pepe were stars, always rushing around, doing stuff or planning stuff. English was a little bit of a struggle, as the majority of people had little English, but everyone muddled along, we learnt a little Italian. But everyone can speak French.
