Had a lovely stay at Cavo Vezal, although it is rated 5 star in general, there are a few small things that make this a 4-star in our opinion.
- Room amenities were there during our first day, but never refilled. Additionally, a litre bottle of drinking water is supplied, but only topped up every other day.
- Beach towels were initially not supplied, after being told they were and we needed to visit reception to get these, after initially being told they were in our room.
- General shower drying towels were of low quality and very thin.
- Beverages here were not branded. For example, cheap cola and not Coca Cola.
Obviously these are not big issues, but this is to be expected from a 5-star hotel.
Everything else was great.
- Large buffet with a variety of choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
- Staff are very nice and comfortably speak different languages where required.
- Multiple decent-sized swimming pools with many sun-beds. 2 pools have bars by them to facilitate beverages.
- About a 5-minute-walk from the beach with many seaside shops.
Amazing resort with a beautiful pool, great bar, and a relaxing atmosphere. The place is clean, well-maintained, and perfect for unwinding and enjoying a great day. Highly recommend!
Best hotel we have ever stayed in on the Greek islands. The rooms are immaculate and facility are second to none. We had balcony room and it was exceptional. All ground floor rooms either have their own private pool or a larger swim up pool.
Was all inclusive but we planned to go out for food on several nights but did not as the variety or Greek food and each evening meal was different every night and lots of it. Quality outstanding.
We will be back
I recently stayed in Room 123 at this hotel during the early season in May, and overall, my experience was mixed.
The room itself felt freshly painted but was noticeably damp, which made it slightly uncomfortable. The shower had a serious issue with fluctuating water temperatures, sometimes rising above 60 degrees, which felt unsafe. On top of that, the hotel’s cleaning staff held their morning meeting right outside the room at 8 am, and we could hear every word, which disturbed our rest.
The pool was a freezing 15 degrees, which made swimming unpleasant, and the neighbouring hotel’s pool was so close that we could hear children playing late into the evening. The live events also took place directly outside, creating quite a bit of noise, though I did enjoy watching the entertainment from a poolside bed.
Food at the hotel was disappointing, being greasy and repetitive. While the location and live events were enjoyable to watch, the overall stay was disrupted by noise, uncomfortable temperatures, and a lack of attention to guest comfort.
In summary, Room 123 has potential, but improvements in soundproofing, maintenance, and food quality are needed before I would consider returning.
A really nice hotel. The rooms are always clean and the staff is super friendly and hardworking. Eljo served us wonderfully in the à la carte restaurant. A super friendly host.
