Vasia Resort and Spa

We got to the hotel and were impressed with the thoughtfulness and kindness of the staff. In fact all the staff there were amazing and couldn't try to help you or do more for you. We went whilst they were doing a staggered opening so all the restauants weren't open. This in itself is not a huge problem as there were a lot of nice Taerna's to eat from. However, the electricity in our room kept going. We asked somebody to check it out several times but it didn't improve. As a result the fan in the room stopped working randomly so we were actually bitten a lot on the face and arms and left quite uncomfortable. The cherry on top though was finding a cockroach in our room. The poor receptionist was mortified but nothing that she could do apart from apologise. I really hope that they sort out these issues before they become a big barrier to the hotel succeeding.

My partner and I stayed at the resort for 10 days. It was a fabulous holiday!

Every single staff member was super attentive and really made us feel at home. Julian was lovely and always stopped for a chat, sadly I didn’t get the names of the other staff members but they were always straight at our table taking our order, and learnt our drinks after one day!

The hotel itself was beautiful, our room was upgraded on arrival, which was really appreciated and the room was stunning. We had wine and fruit waiting for us after our first night which was delish.

I will say, the hotel is still under construction, however we did expect that since it had only just opened, the construction didn’t bother us, we would love to come back next year once the full renovation is finished.

The food was brilliant, it’s not a huge buffet, however the quality of the food doesn’t really make up up for it. The lunch is a menu and not a buffet, which we weren’t sure of at first, but the lunch menu is brilliant, real quality food.

There are three pools to choose from and not sun-bed wars!! The pools are always super quiet so it is really relaxing.

The evening entertainment is good and we enjoyed each type, I would say it is hard to watch it sometimes due to where the seating is, but other than that, no complaints.

A special mention to our Garfield, he’s a little grumpy of a cat but he really made our holiday, all the staff take such good care of him and we miss him already (just a warning, don’t give him too much love, you definitely have to earn it).

Thank you for such a lovely stay, and we hope to see it again soon!

Booking a hotel that is still undergoing renovation is always a risk, but we decided to give it a try and did not regret it. Of course, not everything is finished and fully set up yet, but overall our holiday was comfortable, and it was actually interesting to watch the changes taking place during our stay. Some unexpected perks, such as a complimentary room upgrade with a sea view and an all-inclusive package that truly included all drinks compensated for the hotel's unfinished details and "teething problems." A huge part of our positive impression came from the people working there. The reception team was efficient and well-organized. The maintenance staff quickly fixed a couple of minor issues in our room and, unexpectedly, spoke good English. The housekeeping staff in our block were exceptionally friendly, and both our room and the entire hotel grounds were kept clean. The food and beverage service team was great. Special thanks to Calvin, Sherily, Malamatenja, and Maria. A few notes about the hotel in its current stage: ● Location The location would be perfect if the water at the nearest beach (just a couple of minutes' walk from the hotel) were not so cold. Apparently, there are cold freshwater springs on the seabed in that bay. There are other options for swimming in the sea, including a complimentary hotel shuttle, but they take more time. Going for a quick swim and then returning to relax by the pool is not really possible. ● Junior Suite Beautiful and spacious. The TV placement is somewhat inconvenient (see photo). There is no power outlet in the bathroom and no mirror in the room. The ventilation and air conditioning are excellent. Be prepared to spend a couple of days figuring out the light switches - there are a lot of them 😊 ● Restaurants The main restaurant is divided into sections, each staffed by very friendly assistant chefs. Everything was neat and well organized. Labels describing the dishes were rare, and during our 10-day stay there was no noticeable improvement in this regard. The other restaurants were not yet open, so for our à la carte dinner we visited the sister hotel, which is located very close to ours on the edge of the village. Beyond it there is no further development, and the restaurant offers stunning views of the bay and the mountains. After dinner, we walked back along the seafront (passing through the hotel to reach the promenade), and it made for a wonderful evening. ● Food The selection was not huge but perfectly sufficient and tasty. We were also very satisfied with the à la carte lunches and dinner. ● Drinks Good quality and a wide selection. I especially enjoyed the many smoothie options. My only criticism concerns the hot latte. In my opinion, it should contain about three times more milk (I always asked for extra). ● Pools They are not very deep, but the water warms up nicely. We were delighted to find a large quiet pool without music. This may change in the future, as the pool bar is expected to open in the next few days. ● Spa Excellent treatments and wonderful staff. The seawater pool used for thalassotherapy could benefit from some renovation, but it was still a pleasant and relaxing experience, and the atmosphere throughout the spa was lovely.

Overall, we were very happy with our stay 😊 Thank you to everyone who contributed to making our holiday so enjoyable.
