The Essex Resort & Spa

We arrived after a drive from Maine and were greeted by front desk reception next to a display of delicious baked goods made on premises. The entry was inviting and warm, already decorated for Christmas. The room was one of the smaller ones and was extremely clean and comfortable overlooking the front lawn of the main building. We all slept well with no noise interruptions. We ate at the Tavern for dinner and breakfast both were very good, food was delicious and well presented, servers were personable but not intrusive. Indoor pool was beautiful, and the sauna and steam room were easy access. One family member had a hot rock massage at the Spa and loved it. Although it was a brisk 30 degrees we visited the goats in the backyard and fed them some pellets from the front desk. Every member of the staff was lovely and responsive. Definitely recommend a stay.

We enjoyed a relaxing dinner here in the quiet back room at the junction. The food and wine were exquisite. The room was so clean and atmosphere was very inviting. Our waitress, Leticia, was so helpful and brought joy to our table. We can not wait wait to come again!

Wonderful service. Leticia was great. So kind, informative, funny, and respectful. Had an amazing time and she made our night.

The staff were so kind and professional. The hotel lobby has so much to offer in terms of food and drink. The food options are endless! The grounds are well maintained. There’s a hustle and bustle at the resort. They have so many amenities for their guests. The goats are an added bonus. I stayed in the extended stay rooms and they were fantastic. I used the fire place continuously. I would recommend trying to get the rooms away from the entrances. The spa is just a wonderful experience and next time I will stay longer! Yogi Nitrin was my masseuse and did a fantastic job with the Essex Signature massage. The resort is a little far from my friends who live in South Burlington and downtown Burlington. But they will be moving to Essex so it should be better next trip to the Essex Resort.

It’ was very excellent Laura Borja is best bartender at Essex ressort!!!!!! Very attentive and friendly. We love coming here to get food and drinks when she is working . We have come here for years and always enjoy our time spent at the bar. She is an asset to the resort.
