VIVOOD Landscape Hotel

The location is breathtaking, with spectacular, peaceful views that create a true sense of serenity. The staff members were exceptionally helpful and friendly—we really appreciated their excellent service and warm, welcoming attitude. The villa itself is beautiful and full of charm, though it could use a little TLC to restore it to its very best. In our particular villa, a tree blocked much of the view, whereas other villas enjoyed completely unobstructed scenery. The spa facilities are a nice addition, but they also need some attention, as certain features were not functioning properly during our stay. The private pool was lovely, yet a temperature control option for guests—and a bit of extra maintenance—would make it even more enjoyable. We were visiting to celebrate our 10-year anniversary, and while we had a wonderful stay overall, I felt slightly let down that management did not acknowledge the occasion or create a small surprise to make it special for my wife. A simple gesture would have meant a lot and elevated the experience. Another area for improvement is the dining menu, which is quite limited for both vegetarians and Muslim guests. A wider range of options would make meals far more inclusive and enjoyable. Overall, this is a beautiful property with incredible potential. With a few updates, greater attention to special occasions, and a more varied menu, it could easily offer a truly five-star experience.

We had the most wonderful time at Vivood Landscape Hotel! The place is absolutely stunning with amazing views. The moment we arrived there, we immediately relaxed. The swimming pool is really nice, and we had a great massage at the Spa. All the staff is very kind and warm. The food in the restaurant was very good. From the hotel you can make a nice walk towards the lake, highly recommended! The room was very clean and spacious. We loved the fact that you could enjoy an amazing view while taking a shower and waking up in bed.

The location of the hotel is spectacular. Each individual villa is completely private, allowing for a romantic getaway. The restaurant is excellent, and the dishes are made using local ingredients. The staff are welcoming and very helpful. An experience that I will repeat. One negative note: It is allowed to smoke outside the restaurant and the pool area. For a place that supports physical and mental wellbeing, it is not consistent. My strong recommendation would be to prohibit it.

We had an absolutely lovely experience at Vivood and will definitely be staying again. We splurged on the room with the private pool, included dinner and breakfast every night, and enjoyed the Five Elements Spa experience both days. Pros: - The staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and responsive to our needs. They were particularly helpful when we needed an emergency taxi during a storm, and the umbrellas provided for guests were a thoughtful touch. - The Five Elements Spa experience was a highlight of our stay. We didn't add any extra treatments, but the experience itself was wonderful and something we looked forward to both days. - The property is beautifully maintained and has its own trail leading down to the reservoir. We enjoyed exploring and found it to be a peaceful retreat. - The food was overall pretty good, with plenty of options for breakfast, including dietary restrictions. Improvements: - While the staff in the rooms and spa were excellent, the staff in the dining and lounge area seemed overworked. This was particularly noticeable during breakfast, where guests had to wait for items to be served. We think management could improve the breakfast experience by reorganizing the service model, perhaps allowing guests to serve themselves and then requesting specific items from staff. - A small point, but the golf cart drivers were a bit too enthusiastic and occasionally drove recklessly, which made us nervous when walking on the paths. Overall: Despite some minor issues, we highly recommend Vivood. The spa experience is a must, and the property is beautiful. We'll definitely be telling friends about it and bringing our family to enjoy the experience as well.

This is now our second stay at the Vivood Landscape hotel and we were so glad we came back to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.|First of all, the location of the hotel is absolutely stunning, it is set into a hillside with an incredible view over the surrounding valley, and the rooms are cleverly positioned to take full advantage.|Our room was perfect, set amongst the Olive trees, with a stunning view.|The pool area is so relaxing with comfy loungers and umbrellas and the hotel actively promotes a relaxed and quiet atmosphere, which everyone observed.|We also loved to walk around the nearby reservoir and into the beautiful El Castell de Guadalest (definitely worth a visit).|The quality and selection of the food far exceeded our expectations and would go as far to say that it is the best food we have ever had at a hotel.|Your biggest asset however is the professionalism of all the staff that we met, as they were all very polite, friendly and helpful.|In particular we would like to thank, “Ayuko, Adrian, Brando, Christopher, Antonio, Pedro, Samuel , Mikela or Mirela (sorry if spelt wrong), and the lady with the long platted pony tail (sorry didn't catch your name” who all went the extra mile to look after us.|All the staff are a great credit to the company, and they made our stay that extra bit special.|We would not hesitate to recommend the Vivood Landscape Hotel to all our family and friends and we hope to return again in the future.

Great place in a beautiful location with stunning views. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, with a lovely swimming pool and overall excellent vibe. The only reason I’m not giving a full five stars is due to a strange noise in the room at night and a slightly underwhelming restaurant experience — the steak was a bit dry, and I expected a bit more from a luxury property. Also, a fresh coat of paint on the cabin facades would make a nice improvement. That said, I totally recommend this place and will definitely be back!

Absolutely amazing experience. We stayed one night and were blown off our socks. Such an amazing hidden jewel in the valley of Benimantell. Such a positive energy. Never experienced such an amazing and friendly team hosting the resort. The room was just amazing: absolute privacy, spot clean, a cinematic window with view over the valley. We tried the tasting menu for supper and it was just mind blowing. Symphonies of flavors teasing the taste buds. We just felt so cared for. The breakfast was a little disappointing: a bit less and fresher bread would have beck nice and some more fresh fruits. We topped the experience off with the relaxing massage and came out feeling groovy, ready to take the walking path down to the lake. Sooooo beautiful. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Beautiful location with stunning views and incredibly well cared for site nestled in nature. Every day stepping foot out of the suite into the olive groves was magical. The mountains and the hillside villages were idyllic to look out over from our enormous window/wall. Everything had been so well thought through. The staff were attentive and friendly but not over bearing. They seemed to anticipate the needs of guests and we felt looked after. The pools are stunning and cleaner than any I’ve been in before. Not one wasp in the pool! I don’t know how they did it. The spa is lovely too and the restaurant has a fantastic menu- delicious. We particularly enjoyed the pork knuckle. The restaurant is not cheap but worth it. We had the tasting menu also and thoroughly enjoyed the range of flavours and the attention to local produce. We had some lovely wine, I was a little underwhelmed by the cocktails and pool drinks (a small area for improvement). I eat a gluten free diet and the staff were very careful to support that. Everything could be adapted, however another small improvement/wish would be for some homemade gluten free bread. Everything else is very health orientated so it’s a shame that the gluten free bread is processed. Still it was appreciated that there was a gluten free offer. Breakfasts were also lovely and I loved my morning yoga sessions. We would love to return.

Vivood is located in the foothills of Guadalest, giving travelers 360 views of the beautiful landscape from their hotel room or in the restaurant. We were on an excursion with our cruise and they brought us to the restaurant for an incredible 4 course meal. Mountains towered around us and the serene landscape mixed with modern decor felt lavish. I enjoyed local beer with my delicious meal of Spanish cuisine. Everything was brilliantly prepared with unique flavors to match. I especially loved the roast with cherry sauce. If you find yourself in Guadalest, do visit Vivood for the outstanding landscape paired with fantastic food.

A couple of months ago, in preparation of the summer holidays we decided to look for a relaxing weekend somewhere inside Spain not very far from the capital where we live. After looking at many pages on the net, we came across a place in the Eastern part of the country called Vivood Landscape Hotel. The photos and descriptions were stunning and it promised to be the place for the ultimate relaxing experience. So we booked a room for two nights. It's about 5 hours drive from Madrid, but the last one hour is a winding road through the mountains that almost made me sick. Finally we reached the hotel complex. The first thing that we noticed was the sign that said: "no children allowed". It's a good sign that here you're going to have a noise-free stay. The hotel is a pretty big area in the middle of mountains where 25 prefab houses (called suites) are situated. These buildings have metal structures on three sides and a big sheet of glass on the front. The space is very small, however you get tons of light and depending on your suite, you have a really fascinating view from one of the surrounding villages. You won't find drawers next to your bed, but the bed are king size and comfortable. The showers don't have a wall, but a window similar to the glass sheet on the bedroom. This way you don't stop enjoying the scenery while washing in the morning. Four of the suites - the ones located at the end of each route in the complex - have a little courtyard with a private Jacuzzi. Of course these ones are more expensive than the normal ones. But if you haven't chosen one of the special lodgings, you can still go to the Infinity Pool that is located next to the reception and the restaurant where they invite you to glass of champagne and some fruits everyday at sunset. Overall, everything is designed for you to get relaxed. Some days of the week there are free yoga classes. You can also arrange for a massage in your room. Ours was really great. Our masseur Cristina while being a professional was so friendly and nice. Anyway, this won't be an honest review without mentioning the weak points. So here they are: the staff are anything but professional. They are friendly and respectful but generally speaking have no idea about their job. The hotel it's supposed to be a sustainable system, but the trees and the earth inside the complex don't exactly agree. And finally the worst thing about the hotel is the price which is way too high for the service they offer.
