I only have good things to say about this hotel… on arrival we were shown to the reception to check in whilst our bags were taken are of. We were checked in quickly and pointed to the restaurant to grab something to eat after our long journey. From there we went to collect our bags… we were taken on a golf cart to our room with a lovely member of staff who pointed out all of the amenities on our way round to our room. He also brought our suitcases all the way in to our room which was so lovely. Once in the room we had a lovely note left for us as it was our honeymoon, a bottle of wine and a plate of fresh fruit. The room was extremely clean and was cleaned every single day.. it smelt lovely like bleach everytime you walked in. Fresh towels for shower and pool towels were given.. the hotel as a whole was also extremely clean.. every single toilet around the complex smelt so nice and fresh and clean. Food…there was so much to choose from every single meal time.. definitely something for everyone… we booked into the Greek restaurant whist on our stay and the service was just amazing aswell as all of the food. Every single day we managed to get a sun bed around any of the pools. All of the staff were so friendly and welcoming… the guys who did the entertainment in the cotton bar are so funny and try to get everyone involved just genuine lovely people. Around the hotel is a few shops and if you go for a walk round near the harbour just a short walk away the views are beautiful aswell as more gift shops in a small town, coffee shops ect. If you are wanting to go to the beach then go and ask the reception as they have a minibus free of charge that will take you to their sister hotel right onto the beach with sunbeds and parasols to use for free (look out for the lady who walks along the beach and tries to massage your feet for 25 euros haha) You also get a percentage off food and drink whilst there and then the minibus will come back and pick you up at the time stated. Again lots of amazing shops around there and coffee shops to sit and enjoy the views of the sea and beach. I could actually keep go on about how lovely our stay was and we have looked into coming back next year we enjoyed it that much. AMAZING!!

On a arrival given a refreshing drink during check in as it was gone 23:00 we was supplied with a bag with fresh fruit and rolls and given a drink at the bar Rooms have a fridge/ kettle and daily refreshed coffee tea and bottles of water These rooms are standard but are very clean and given towels bed change throughout our stay and beach towels changed every day Daughters room was a superior family room which again she was very pleased with and friends also The areas around this complex is kept very clean to a high standard All staff were very friendly polite and helpful. Man in Greek restaurant was very friendly and also went out of his way to ensure our meal was enjoyable. You get either a Greek or Italian meal free during stay Pool area again very clean pool very cold and beds do need upgrading but there was struggle to get a bed Food was excellent could not fault again staff working there were friendly and always smiling Alcoholic drinks well we was surprised to find these of a decent quality brands and full strength and a decent measure too We also went out of the complex walking enjoying the areas and went into malia in a 8 seater taxi 80 euros round trip and the man came and picked us back up the taxi again was of a high standard Hotel charged a 10 euro per day tax due to there 5 star rating think a 4 would be more suitable unless they up grade rooms and beds around pool Yes we would return but not in high season as feel it would be too busy for us shame one pool is not heated

“Relaxing Massage”

I went to the Spa which is on the Vasia Hotel Grounds. I would honestly say the prices were more expensive then a massage I can get in London but I do have to say Anna providing great customer service and received some of the upper neck/shoulder tension.

I went to the Spa which is on the Vasia Hotel Grounds. I would honestly say the prices were more expensive then a massage I can get in London but I do have to say Anna providing great customer service and received some of the upper neck/shoulder tension. The massage is so relaxing you just want to go to sleep. Overall the staff are friendly and welcoming. You get Spa slippers to use , towel and a robe. There are showers , shampoo and shower gel which you can use in the changing room.. For a resort abroad if you want to treat yourself then go ahead. Other treatments on offer, it is best to book in advance.

Overall we were very happy with our stay here. The hotel is situated in the large village of Sissi and is a short (but steep) walk from the small harbour / rocky beach. Our room was a good size and excellent - very comfortable and immaculately clean. The food was varied and particularly good for me as a vegetarian - all dishes being clearly labelled. Plenty of meat and fish for my carnivorous husband! The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, with the sole exception of one rather frosty receptionist, who was just about civil but not friendly. Everybody else was lovely. Negatives - the bathroom door was louvred, which afforded no privacy. The restaurant was rather sterile and needed some sort of local touches, and some colour - it didn't feel at all Cretan. It was also very noisy. The evening entertainment was as expected - we didn't stay long! We are not pool users, but we gathered that the water was very cold, and very few people were using them. Don't forget to take bug spray etc - we were both bitten in spite of using it regularly. These are only small negatives - please don't let it put you off - you will have a very enjoyable stay here.
