Vanila Hotel & Spa

5 Weronika Gumkowska - a week ago

We’ve just arrived from our stay in Vanila Hotel u0026 Spa. It was our first time there and I can’t imagine a better place for holiday. The staff was amazing, helpful, polite, always smiling. Our room was cleaned everyday, so were the joint areas. Breakfasts, lunches and dinners were absolutely delicious. Can’t forget about breathtaking views and sunsets. Would totally recommend!
Dear Vanila, thank You for everything!

The view there is insane, great pool, although I had wished it was deeper. Food was great too. But the thing that I liked the most there was the calm, it was so peaceful, I wished I could stay there forever.

We moved in for one night to Vanilla from Le Grande Bleu.

Our overall experience was positive with a few exceptions:

Concierge is efficient and friendly. Reception claims to speak English but they actually don't. Google translate helps here. It's ideal to read from the hotel guide and pick up words so that receptionists can understand.

Hotel size is good. It's large and pleasant. The adjoining veranda is beautiful and offers an absolutely splendid view of the sunset.

Wooden and tiled floors. The room and bathrooms are clean. Towels, bed sheet and equipment clean. Large bathroom space. Plenty of ventilation.

Issues: The air conditioner is too small for the room and it does not work. The air is consistently warm. This means we were burning electricity for no reason. The fan is good and the speed is fine.

Toilet and shower: a shower door might be required. Because the shower head was wonky, the water kept going outside making the floor slippery despite keeping a towel on the ground.

Lighting: Extremely poor! This needs to be massively improved. One cannot work inside the room at all.

Outside decor: Very traditional, clean and tidy. Professionally done and managed.

Restaurant: Well staffed and managed.

Pool: Small, but its size is absolutely irrelevant as the beach is less than a 5 minute walk away.

Breakfast: Large variety of continental including croissants. Pleased with this.

Will we go again? Yes
Will we refer? Yes
Value for Money? Yes.

Suggestions: Please fix the lighting and the air conditioning.

Very best,

I had a blast at the hotel. The staff was nice and we all enjoyed the stay, but we all got food poisoning the last night when some oddly raw salmon was served.
Everything was great besides that.
Also, dont call your excursions a "nature hike" if you are going to take us through a plantation. Instead call the event a plantation tour.
