Family Hotel Vespera

This is not our first stay at this hotel. We had a perfect holiday here last year, which is why we decided to return. Unfortunately, it seems that the hotel is now facing serious management issues, particularly in the operation of its restaurants. Compared to last year, the number of guests appears to be the same, but the experience has deteriorated significantly. Finding a table for dinner was often a challenge, and there were frequent shortages of food, which led to long waits for refills. It was clear that there wasn't enough restaurant staff, and those who were working seemed poorly trained. For instance, staff would sometimes clear plates before we had finished eating. Moreover, the quality of the food has declined. On several occasions, the food was undercooked, which likely led to food poisoning in some guests (as reported in the newspapers). Overall, the hotel seems to be struggling with significant management problems, especially in restaurant operations, which is a shame because it was once a fantastic destination for families.

Salmonella and e coli appeared in the hotel!! On the second day after arrival, the child developed stomach pains, fever and diarrhea, while our symptoms were milder..we left earlier than planned..The media are now reporting that more than 70 guests are infected.. 19 hotel employees were confirmed to be germ carriers and they were removed from the workplace and kitchen. Shame for 4* hotel! Parking is very difficult to find, even payed one. We will not return ever again!

This year, several children, including my own sons, contracted Salmonella and E. coli during our stay at Hotel Vespera. Due to severe diarrhea and fever, we were confined to our hotel room for five days. The nearest laboratory for diagnosis was in Rijeka, a three-hour drive from Mali Lošinj. Given the poor food hygiene, we will definitely not be returning to this hotel.

Our stay at Hotel Vespera was truly memorable, primarily due to the outstanding hospitality of the staff. They were exceptionally courteous and attentive, quickly addressing and resolving all the minor issues we encountered, which significantly enhanced our overall experience. The culinary offerings at the hotel were delightful, with a diverse menu that catered to various tastes. Every meal was a treat, and we particularly enjoyed the local specialties. However, the dining area did tend to get quite crowded at times, which slightly impacted the dining experience. The hotel's location is absolutely stunning. Nestled amidst breathtaking surroundings, it offers a picturesque view of the beach and crystal-clear waters. This idyllic setting made our stay even more enjoyable and provided a perfect backdrop for relaxation. The pool area was another highlight, with lovely pools that added to our leisure time. Unfortunately, one of the pools was not operational during our visit, which was a minor disappointment. Nonetheless, the other pools were well-maintained and provided a great place to unwind. A special highlight of our stay was the Pino song, a charming tune that we still find ourselves singing at home. It added a unique touch to our experience and left us with fond memories of our time at Hotel Vespera. Overall, our stay at Hotel Vespera was wonderful. With friendly staff, delicious food, and beautiful surroundings, it is a place we would highly recommend and definitely consider returning to in the future.

Considering the relatively high rating, expectations were high, but we are disappointed. If you are a fan of cleanliness, good service and delicious food, this is not the place for you. The beach in front of the hotel is not for children, but we knew that. A short walk and you have reached the beautiful pebble beach, which unfortunately is not pampered or groomed. A kitchen with bad food and not at all suitable for children, especially if you have a child who does not eat a variety, and the tidiness of the kitchen is very poor. Charge for washing beach towels, very disappointing. The parking lot is very poorly organized and untidy. The place is beautiful and it's a shame for the hotel that they don't try to bring back the guests. The price is very high for this type of service.

We chose Vespera for our summer vacation during the high season in Croatia. We were afraid that it would be too crowded, but the hotel is well run and although it was crowded, we did not have to wait during meals etc. The hotel restaurant is very large and food is replenished regularly. Dinner has a wide variety and was different every day. Very tasty traditional Croatian food. The cleaning of the room and the hotel was excellent and I had the impression that there is enough staff, which is not common in Croatia. Most of the staff is not Croatian. Pool area well maintained and not crowded. Beaches all arount the hotel and beautiful nature invite long walks. It is 30 minutes walk to Mali Losinj and 20-30 minutes to Uvala Čikat. We had an excellent stay and thank you Vespera.

We had great time at Vespera. Hotel is clean, service and staff are very polite. Children animation is very good, they have activities for all age groups during all day and mini disco at evenning. Food is good, they could improve offer for breakfast, but generally food was better than in some more expensive hotels. But what we liked the most is beautiful nature that is surrounding the hotel, relaxing scent of pine trees and the sound of waves and crickets that you hear all day.

Very positive, professional and relaxed children’s hotel. We absolutely loved this hotel! ALL the staff were outstanding, rare for Croatia, they were always wiling to help, and had smiles on their faces everyday. The kids club is the best that we have experienced, the evening discos are varied and they even put on a play that was very memorable. Their mascot had a birthday and there was a huge cake for the kids, very cool. They offer free lunches for children everyday, this is not just a snack but a full blown meal including soup and a fantastic child friendly main, fruit and cake. The hotel is clean and the children’s areas disinfected regularly. It is modern and well kept. Room cleaning is precise and thorough. The beaches are well equipt with lots to do and the hotel restaurants there are serving good quality food, prices are reasonable for the current climate. ’Borik‘ beach bar and restaurant was our favorite, very chic with fantastic service and food. The surrounding are is enchanting and the beaches are stunning. They are pretty rocky but there are also plenty child friendly pebbly beaches too. We have been to many children’s hotels in Croatia, some with ridiculous price tags, Vespera is reasonably priced and includes everything you need for a great family holiday.

We visited Vespera second time this year, we stayed here for our summer holiday last year as well. Both of our stays were awesome. The restaurant is fantastic, there are a lot of choices, they even think of people who has food allergies and also for the kids. It’s a Great place for families, it’s a lot do, a lot of fun. Stuff is friendly and nice. Honestly I can’t say any wrong about this hotel. The water fitness was super cool, thanks Abi! It is definitely one of the best places I’ve ever been. Thanks Vespera!
