Vasia Sea Retreat

"Weve Just got back from 2 weeks at this hotel and we've had a great holiday. On arrival I didn't like room allocated (bit small with limited storage). I asked if any alternatives and was given 3 choices. We opted for a sea view suite with private hot tub and absolutely loved it. All the bar / restaurant/ reception staff are great. Mario that runs it is a great guy too. They all go over and above. Our housekeeping left a bit to be desired. Beds were made, floor was mopped but bathroom not cleaned and quite often things used weren't replaced - coffee, shower cap, towels etc but easily fixed with a call to reception. Overall this hotel is great and id return tomo quite happily. Restaurahts and bars within a 5 min walk and the main area of Sisi is approx 15 min steady walk. If youre heading to Sisi and want a quiet adults only hotel this is a great choice."

"Just back from a 10 day stay, overall, this is a great hotel and I would definitely love to return. The location suited us well, just on the edge of the village about 10 mins walk to the centre but with a supermarket and few bars/restaurants close by. The hotel is very well kept, gardens are lovely, pool areas clean and sun loungers comfy. A lovely relaxed atmosphere around the pools. We were B&B and the breakfast was good, the orange juice was lovely, not the watered-down rubbish you get in some places. The only thing that was a bit hit and miss was the cleaning, the cleaners were lovely but I’m not sure if we had someone new as we weren’t left water on quite a few days (we weren’t sure if it should have been left or not), we were only left a loo roll a couple of times and had to go hunting for the cleaner or the trolley to get some on several occasions. We didn’t use the pool bar as it was quite expensive, we nipped next door to the Alexandros for lunch a couple of times which was half the price. The only other small(ish) negative was we realised on the last day that the safe was not actually screwed down, if anyone decided to break in they could have easily took it with them. We were in block 3, the rooms are sea view which is great but in the late afternoon and evening we found the balcony too hot to sit out having a sundowner, some chairs at the rear of the block would be useful for a bit of shade I think, just a suggestion! As I said we think we will return at some point due to the location, setting and course the staff who were all lovely and welcoming."

"Our first visit to Crete, for the Vasia itself the staff are lovely, so happy & friendly! The hotel is clean and met our needs for a relaxing week long holiday. The room was spacious with plenty of storage for 2 people. There was ample sun beds around all 3 pools every day, the sound and view of the sea was a delight! Breakfast was a buffet with à la carte drinks service and a small selection of food such as poached eggs or omelette. The gardens are maintained daily, with beautiful flowers and greenery. We were on a bed & breakfast basis, popping to the local shop for some lunch basics & drinks which were stored in our small room fridge, we are so pleased we did this and then walked out into the village for our evening meals as there is so much choice offering traditional Greek family tavernas (you must make the effort to visit Neromilos, it was the star of the show & the best experience of our week!) there was also lovely spots near the sea to eat or drink & enjoy the evenings sunset which was spectacular every night. We would recommend Sissi, and Vasia Sea Retreat for anyone looking for a relaxing quiet peaceful break in Greece!"
