Mateusz Kozioł

I'm from Poland and in my opinion the center is worth recommending, beautiful surroundings, and a very nice community, the animators do their best to make sure no one gets bored, my younger sister is also happy. I also met a lot of new people whom I hope to meet again someday

Daniel Julius Markus

Excellent family friendly fun. Best for 12 and under. Lots to see and do.

Gergely Tamás

One of the best aparthotel what i have visited ever, absolutely worth it. It is a child safe and family friendly place with a lot of activities. We have visited this place on summer. The children can play football, basketball, pingpong, roller and so on.. The pool could be bigger, it was little bit crowded on the hottest days. The food was perfect with a large selection. There are a lot of good sight location around the hotel. I recommend this place.

Margit Hupkova

Food was great (we had half board, the breakfast choice was amazing, I especially appreciated fresh vegetables and fruit, the Indian cousine for dinner adapted to the European non-spicy tongues was a lovely surprise, even our 2,5 years old daughter loved it). Staff very friendly and helpful, we liked that they often approached us offering various types of fun activities for both, adults and kids. I took one star off for various reasons - first, I really did not appreciate having to walk all the way to R building couple of times per day with a pram and a 2,5 year old child. We could have used the car but it just seemed annoying having to staff the kids into a car for a 2minutes drive. So not good one way, not good the other way. I would have appreciated being able to choose a building at the time of booking. Next time we will be wiser. Secondly, I did not enjoy the constant reconstruction on the site, not too overbearing but yes, a bit annoying as we were near to it. Thirdly, it is in the middle of the nature, I would have loved to have nets on the windows to keep flies and spiders out of the apartment. In the fourth place, I was surprised that the fun zone which was included in the price of the stay had an activity (it is true that I saw only one, a trampoline) which had to be paid on top of the cost of the fun zone and not cheap (I think it was 5eur for 5mins of jumping). Luckily, our kids are too young for that but I can see that it can be difficult for parents to resist their kids pleas. In the fifth place, there is no lift to the first floor of the Indian restaurant, so you need to carry the pram by stairs or leave it downstairs, which, with a very young kids like ours (6 months) wasn't an option. Building a kids rezort you would think they thought about it. And finally, when it is raining (which it was all day), there is not much you can do. Most activities are outdoors. There is only a very small kids zone in a restaurant, really small, few activities and the spa. That's it.
