Vassos Nissi Plage Hotel & Spa

The only thing that keeps this hotel in the top is the location. It is located one step away from the beach. The rooms are big, but not maintained. The cleanless is basic: clean sheets and towels, other than that I would call it mediocre. Food acceptable, but nothing wow. We had an issue: the room was very noisy due to the hotel across the street and when we brought this up at the reception, nobody was interested in coming up with a solution. Being with a baby, this was a deal breaker for us. Steve was very friendly… I would say, the only person interested in helping or communicating with the guests. I looked through the reviews saying food and cleanless was great and I wonder if those people were at the same hotel

To summarize - I recommend you to book only full sea-view room and without any meals. If possible - skip breakfast too, I mean it. There is an excellent and dirt cheap bakery/coffee shop open 24/7 with cheap artisan coffee to breakfast across the street.

Pros: good location, in front of beautiful beach, hotel rooms cleaned daily.

Cons: food absolutely horrible, especially breakfast. Fruits are canned, cooked breakfast soaking in oil, everything that can be made with cheap ingredients, is done so. Desert that comes with honey? Be sure that its not real honey, but artificial one. Even most jams tasted artificial. Almost all desert flavorings were artificial. Many foods not fresh, brought out day after day all over again, just for the sake of giving the illusions of variety. On top it all we got food poisoning. Dinner were also barely edible - some days were better than others, there were a couple of good dishes on some nights, but overall I regretted dearly for booking half board. The town nearby has a huge selection of excellent tavernas.

Dinners don’t include drinks, not even basic filtered water. 3,5 eur for small bottle of sparkling water. Even though there is a filtered water machine in the restaurant, guests not allowed to poor themselves a glass.

Hotel was trying to push side sea view room as sea view room and only after many complaints changed the room.

Beach towels only replaced 3 times a week, on fixed days only… this is unbelievable, especially in Cyprus with high humidity, where nothing dries at all, unless you put right in the sun but most balconies are in the shade, so nothing dries, especially in the evening. So enjoy sitting on a damp stinky towel all day, up to 3 days in a row using the same one. No wonder many guests used their own towels. Best part - those 2 stinky towels are issued with 20 eur deposit for 2 people. LOL. And bringing towels back not enough, you must save the deposit receipts🥹 hotel found a way to extract extra money from guests who lost receipts or simply forgot to return towels.

Gym opens at 9am… Who wants to work out after breakfast?

Loud AC that does not actually work. It only acted as a white noise machine to block the noise outside.

Low water pressure

No easily accessible toilet on the ground floor - hotel staff sends you to a spa toilet in the second floor. I saw hotel guest literally crossing the street and going into public beach toilet instead.

Blue lights everywhere - interfering with sleep

Entertainment programs in the evening so bad, it’s laughable, almost no guest ever joined them.

Drinks are very overpriced - 5 eur for orange juice? In cyprus, where oranges grow in copious amounts and are very cheap…

All of these issues could be fixed with proper hotel management, which is clearly missing. It could be a great hotel, if the staff cared just a little bit more.

Worn and poorly maintained. Low waterpressure in shower, loud AC, useless capacity on elevator, gym closed at 1800hrs, expencive. Nice view and close to beach.
