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.

“Exceptional staff and lovely food”

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.

“Good hotel but does lack atmosphere for family with teenagers”

We have just returned from our 7 night stay at vasia. We had a lovely holiday. Lots of positives- rooms were good, very clean hotel. Good location and good food. Would we return, possibly not due to lack of atmosphere. We have two teenagers and we found there was nothing to do in the evenings apart from the evening show at 9:30pm which lasted an hour. We found the time between evening meal and show would drag as nothing to do or we had done it all so would go for a walk. Evening shows very good and our family enjoyed the quiz which is on Mondays. I can imagine if you are staying for two weeks it would become boring as shows are on a weekly rotation. Food good but my family found it very samey . Drinks selection very poor, wine was awful so I ended up buying a bottle for €20 euros as I could no longer drink anymore of it. Overall experience good and definitely not a bad hotel by any means but just not right for our family with teenagers. Next time we would not do all inclusive so we can eat at different places and enjoy nicer drinks.
