My stay at the resort was a mix of delightful experiences and frustrating moments. The spa and restaurant offerings were fantastic, and the room we had was spacious and comfortable.

During my stay at the Vestlia Resort, I found the family-friendly atmosphere to be a major highlight, especially with facilities like the indoor pool and bowling alley.

We had a wonderful family ski holiday at the Vestlia Resort. The hotel offers excellent facilities for kids and the ski-in/ski-out access made our stay incredibly convenient. Our suite was spacious and comfortable, providing everything we needed. On the downside, the dining experience could benefit from more variety in options for children, and some areas felt a bit disorganized, likely due to the unusual timing of our visit during the summer.

The hotel offered a genuinely comfortable experience with stylish Scandinavian design, perfect for families. The swimming pool was a highlight, providing ample fun along with fantastic spa facilities for relaxation.
