The Essex Resort & Spa

Our stay at the Essex was fantastic. Special shout out to the front desk staff of Olivia, TJ and Ben, waitstaff of Renata, Brianna and Terrie, chefs Brian and Diego. Special shout out to Nina, whom I assume is the restaurant manager for helping me find my gift card number. The spa staff was very friendly and helpful but I didn’t catch their names. Although I didn’t meet them, the place was spotless so kudos to your housekeeping staff!

My sister and I booked our annual Sister Getaway for our birthday celebration here, our first time staying at The Essex Resort & Spa. From booking to checkout, this was one of the best stays we've had! Ms. Lisa Harrison helped us with booking the appropriate room to accommodate our desire to include a cooking class at the onsite Cook Academy. Lisa kindly answered multiple email questions we had before making our decision and was nice enough to take time out of her day to meet us when we checked in. She made us feel like friends she'd know for ages, even tho this was the first time meeting! TJ checked us in and also made us feel like friends. He was cheerful, kind and very helpful with suggestions of what to do during our stay. Our room was perfectly clean and well stocked, the beds were so comfortable and we got great night's sleep both nights of our stay. The cooking class with Chef Donna was so much fun and we ended up being the only 2 people taking the class that night. The food was out of this world! We also appreciate that we were given sweet Birthday treats in our room, very kind of Lisa and TJ! Every staff member we spoke with in the hotel and restaurant were happy, kind and welcoming. Food was GREAT! Grounds were beautiful We truly did feel like friends and are very thankful to Lisa, TJ and everyone we came in contact with. Thank you for making our Sister trip a huge success. This was our first experience at The Essex Resort, but it won't be our last!

Food was AMAZING!! Our server Mahagani was knowledgeable, professional, attentive and so friendly. She really made the whole experience pleasurable. Perfect pairing with the delicious food . If you’re ever up this way Essex Junction, definitely check out The Junction ask for Mahagani!!

Terrie was a fantastic server!!!! Very friendly and personable! Food was great and got dessert to go. She was very accommodating and explained the menu very well. A very pleasant experience and I will be back again. We come on an annual trip and Terrie helped make our experience great!

We love visiting here. Had a fabulous dinner last night at the Lazy Goat Tavern. Terrie provided attentive service, insights and information not only relevant to dinner, but about the resort as well. There was a raucous game of Music Bingo going on in the tavern when we arrived and we were invited to sit in a quieter spot in the adjacent restaurant. Despite having to “travel” between the two areas, Terrie was spot on and smiling the whole time.
