Vasia Resort & Spa

We went in June and it was absolutely amazing. The hotel was beautiful, the food was good in variety and the staff was always friendly. It is located near a small town with nice small restaurants, local shops and a nightclub ;)

This hotel was truly fantastic and you can’t go wrong by choosing it. Everything was top-notch – from cleanliness to breakfast to overall service. The lady at the reception was extremely friendly and welcoming, and the staff at breakfast as well as the cleaning team were all super kind and professional. The location is also great – not far from the city, which made everything easy to reach. They were also very helpful when it came to car rentals and gave us great tips for local hotspots and beautiful beaches. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back. Highly recommend!

We loved our stay at Vasia. The service from checking in through to checking out has been excellent. We enjoyed using the pools, gym and spa facilities. The breakfasts were amazing. There was so much choice for everyone. The dinners were also great, I especially enjoyed the salad bar and the freshly prepared main courses. The service at both meals was friendly and helpful. We had a family room with its own balcony, which allowed us to relax outdoors when it wasn't quite poolside weather.

We stayed at this hotel with the all-inclusive option at the end of July, and overall, we enjoyed our stay. Room: We originally booked the most basic room with a garden view, but we were given a room in the main building with a sea view — which was a lovely surprise! The view was amazing, and the room was small but very nice. It had a fridge, wardrobe, tea cups, bed, air conditioning, and a small table. The bathroom had both a shower and a bathtub, which was very convenient for bathing our baby. A baby cot was also provided — we appreciated that :) Housekeeping was decent. Don’t expect deep cleaning every day, but they do make the bed, change the towels, and sweep the floor. Bed linen was changed every other day. The cleaning lady in our building was really sweet ❤️ The only downside was that the shower leaked a lot — after every shower, the floor was flooded. Also, don’t expect brand new furniture or spotless perfection. If that’s important to you, this might not be the place. But if you’re not too picky — it’s totally fine. Food: Breakfast was the same every day, but it was nice that they offered freshly squeezed juice — we had it every morning, it was delicious! Lunch and dinner had a bit more variety, though the selection wasn’t huge. Still, everything was tasty. There was always a choice of different meats — chicken, pork, beef, and fish. Seafood was available daily, but not in a wide variety. Desserts were repetitive but tasty. Fresh vegetables and fruits were always available. However, if you’re traveling with a small child who doesn’t eat fried or heavy food, it can be a challenge — most dishes are more suitable for adults. I only gave my baby fruit, tomatoes, cucumbers, and chicken a couple of times. The food was too heavy for him otherwise. There was a “kids’ buffet”, but it only had muffins and cupcakes. Pool: We used only one of the pools — the water was very warm and clean, and the pool itself was well maintained. Beach: There is no beach at the hotel! Don’t trust the maps that show one nearby — in reality, it’s all big rocks and stones. The hotel does offer a free shuttle to a beach where you’ll pay €30 for two sunbeds and an umbrella (minimum). The beach is called Pleasure Beach, and it’s very party-style and trendy — not ideal for a small child. We rented a car for the entire stay and drove ourselves to a sandy, clean beach with warm water — Potamos Beach — highly recommended! There’s also a large supermarket just a 1-minute walk from the hotel that has everything you might need — from souvenirs, olive oil, and spices to regular groceries and toiletries. Great shop with good prices. Right across the street, there’s a car rental place called Mevis — we highly recommend it! All in all, I would recommend this hotel for a family holiday. It’s a small but comfortable place. You definitely won’t go hungry, you’ll enjoy plenty of time in the pool, and you’ll have a nice, relaxing stay :)

Excellent trip for the family. Location and food was brilliant and pools amazing. Staff super friendly and always on hand to help. Only disappointment was the beach bus probidee, not the beach as advertised on the website, and not quiet or child friendly as in the centre of Malia and very expensive.
