Family Hotel Vespera

Good family hotel

Meals are awesome! Very clean rooms, children friendly (lots of parks & content)

To loud nigh music, hard to sleep for small baby. Also beach is far away from room. Food is great. Our baby had accident in elevator, 2 fingers on right hand get hurt by door. Not safe for small babies.

It was a great experience. Island is very charming and has beautiful landscapes. Driving till there was a pleasure. The lil towns are charming, have been in some good restaurants and the hotel was good. Regarding hotel rooms are ok, view is great, the sea is amazing and the whole area is stunning. Although we didnt really used the children services and activities i can say that hotel is very kids friendly and i recommend to those with kids.

This is a very well organised family hotel. As a couple we has some reservations which proved to be unfounded. We enjoyed our short stay and would be happy to return. Staff were all helpful and polite.

Building and facilities are really good and new. Seafront, playground, restaurants, nice pools on your doorstep. Don't expect staff to give you any intro or orientation for the services and facilities. We were given our key card on check-in and that was about it! The food was really good considering they are feeding the masses, and there are some quiet areas in the canteen away from all the noise. Lunch much isn't provided except to the children with a very strict time period. If your child doesn't eat their main fast enough the ice cream stall doesn't wait for them! So I wouldn't say mealtimes are very relaxing, except at breakfast. Baby club for the toddlers was very disappointing. They advertise a really good daily schedule, but actually, not enough children attend so they end up sticking loosely to the programme and have all the kids in one larger room, where they split them up a bit. Our 2.5yr old, arrived and was overwhelmed by older kids (eg up to 10 yrs) running around and grabbing toys. That he didn't have a chance to settle in. It was a less than calming experience for him and didn't help at all with any attachment issues in addition. This was the same for some other parents of young kids we spoke to. We tried for twice and each time he stayed about 30-60 mins, before they called us to pick him up. Also the staff aren't childcare professionals as they seem to be part of the general entertainment team. The main person was quite unhelpful and unfriendly

We spent 12 days in hotel Vespera and had a lovely time. The hotel is located in a beautiful pine wood, overlooking the sea and within easy reach of the town of Mali Losinj. The hotel is great for children as there is a lot of entertainment, children's club, free lunches and snacks for children. Pino and Pineta (the hotel mascots) were a great excitement for our 5 year old son. The reception staff were lovely, helpful, friendly, efficient, hard working. The waiting staff in the restaurant were variable; some were absolutely lovely, others had obviously forgotten to smile. There was a variety of food and in abundance although some of the food was pretty bland and needed some taste adding to it :) It was great that there was always fresh fruit and vegetables and fresh bread. We found a bit stressful. The restaurant was always absolutely full; it was a bit too big and too noisy for our taste. There were a few tables outside on the terrace and these were great, but one had to be at the restaurant on the dot of 6:55pm in order to get an outside table. Soft drinks were free, but the quality of these was very low (some were coloured sugary water) though many people drank lots of them, so some obviously liked them. There was a nice children's pool, but not many loungers around it. Also, there wasn't enough space around the bigger pool either. On the whole, the hotel needs more pool space and more outdoor restaurant space for the number of rooms it offers, but it is good value.

We had a lovely 1 week family vacation, where the hotel was great, food extraordinary (many choices of fish, meat, fruit and vegetable dishes) all fresh made from the cookes directly by the buffet. The hotel was good air conditioned (maybe sometimes too much, if yet get from 35° from outside to 20° inside the hotel - it feels very chilly). By the hotel is available a small tourist train witch drives by a schedule (extra payment needed), which drives you to the town Mali Losinj and its surrounding. If you have a bicycle with you it takes you around only 10min drive to the town Mali Losinj (we had bicycle with us). The sea was very warm (middle of July), only the beach is not so promising, as most of it by the hotel is rocky beach( not good if you have small children), you have only very few spots with gravel, which is ok also for small children. The hotel has also got two outside pools (one normal, one for small children with some playground toys). Our overall stay was very good, is some future will come again to this location.

Hotel is fairly new and rooms are adequate. However, 4 star hotel rooms should have tea and coffee making facilities. there are none. Fridge is rather small and of no use. Beach is rocky and water deep, not suitable for small children and no swimmers. There is small cove with shallow and sandy beach, crowded with sun beds, suitable for small kids. There are tailed areas on the rocks where sun beds and umbrellas are located for the use of guests, free of charge. Being family hotel it's well appointed with facilities for kids, but not much fun for grownups in the evenings.

Perfect family hotel, great food & service, beach is not child friendly though
