Relaxing Hydrotherapy Experience

“I was looking forward to the Hydrotherapy at the spa, and I wasn't disappointed. The space was inviting and soothing. Though the jets in the hydrotherapy tub didn’t provide the intensity I expected, the staff quickly adapted by offering me access to the heated indoor pool. I ended up spending hours floating there, enjoying the ambiance and the calming effects of the water.” view full review

Spacious and Comfortable Stay

“I stayed in a Prestige category room and was thrilled with the spacious layout. My room featured a huge glass window with a private balcony that provided a refreshing view. With a large bed and plenty of wardrobe space, the room was designed for ultimate comfort. The bathroom included a separate shower and a bathtub, perfectly equipped with quality toiletries.” view full review

Delicious Breakfast Variety

“The breakfast buffet truly impressed me with its variety. Although the offerings were standard, the quality and taste were commendable. I particularly enjoyed the selection of pastries and the freshness of the fruits. The attentive service at the dining area also added to the enjoyable experience of brunching there.” view full review

Fun Activities for Kids

“During my stay, I noticed the kids' playroom and a small pool that were perfect for young families. The amenities provided a space for children to enjoy some outdoor play while parents could relax nearby. The setup seemed well thought out, ensuring that kids had their own space while still being close to the family activities.” view full review

I had a wonderful weekend at the Vichy Hotel with my kids. The heated swimming pool was a highlight, especially given the cold weather. The spacious grounds and activities for kids helped make the stay enjoyable. However, the breakfast could use some improvement in quality, and the service had some hiccups during check-in. Overall, it's a great place for families looking to relax and have fun.

Service was friendly and welcoming, especially with some staff like Ms. Ihsan and Mr. Waseem who stood out. However, I felt some staff needed more training on guest interaction.

The breakfast had a good variety, but the quality of some items left a bit to be desired. More attention to detail would improve the dining experience.

The resort has great facilities, especially for kids, including tennis courts and a heated pool. However, the spa could offer complimentary services as seen in other five-star hotels.

I had a relaxing mini-break at this hotel, and it truly exceeded my expectations. The beautiful pools and the lovely main hotel offered a perfect retreat. The fantastic barbecue supper on Friday was a highlight, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable stay. While the spa is still being developed, I am looking forward to what they will offer once it's completed. Overall, a great experience, but I wish I could have enjoyed more of the spa facilities.

During my recent stay, I found the hotel to be an excellent choice for relaxation, with large, luxurious rooms and great service. While it is somewhat isolated, being far from the city center, the amenities, especially the spa, made up for that. The dining options were a bit limited, and it didn't cater extensively for vegetarians. Still, the overall experience was satisfying, and it felt like great value for money.
