This hotel is the best in the area. Nice indoor and outdoor pool facilities and jacuzzi. Bfast & dinner buffet included with the room charge, which had a great selection. Game room for kids. This hotel is right on Lake Balaton next to a large park that hosts amazing summer activities and events for the entire family. Highly recommended.

A LOT of potential to explore
It was very good! The Hotel is very nicely decorated and comfortable. Free parking is a great plus. The Deluxe Room was nothing special, the food was very underwhelming, the staff was ok but not welcoming and they couldn't accomodate to have the room set up with the "lovers (?)" package while we went for dinner. It was either at check-in or nothing. Which doesn't make sense. I was overcharged for bycicles, but after returning to point it out, it was quickly solved and i was refunded. Overall the hotel itself and the amazing location made up for it all. But shame that it had all the potential to be an EXCEPTIONAL stay and it was only "ok". Urgent to improve the food and get more welcoming staff. I will recommend mainly because of the setting.

Great hotel with wonderful facilities. Check out is 0am, 11 am would be better. Although the rooms are non-smoking, during my stay, people in surrounding rooms were smoking on their balconies, which meant I could not open the door or window.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff is very kind and friendly. The property is newly refurbished and looks wonderful, elegant, and upscale. Everything is clean and tidy. The beds are comfortable and spacious. There is a nice variety of food that is tasty. However, when redesigning the property, comfort was not in mind. Eg. there is an elevation in the room that is unsafe and the space between the wall and the beds is so tiny one needs to move sideways. The wellness area felt cold, kept at 20 C. As a first timer, I felt lost, it was really difficult to get any information e.g. how something works or where to find it. With special diet, food is limited.

Sehr schönes neues Hotel mit bester Lage direkt am See. Sehr gutes Buffet und jeden Tag etwas anderes. Etwas schade finde ich nur, dass man nicht jeden Tag neue Badetücher im Spa bekommt (dann könnten diese ja gleich im Zimmer aufliegen) und die Kinderdisko ist leider ausgefallen.

Továbbra is kedvenc balatoni szállodánk marad, a kiemelkedő elhelyezkedése, panorámája miatt, továbbá a wellnessben is verhetetlen. Az meglepő volt, hogy nincs árkülönbség a kevésbbé jó elhelyezkedésű szobáknál, de a reklamációnkat orvosolták és áthelyeztek megfelelőbe. A büféasztalos étterem kínálata is nagyon széles, megfelelő mennyiségű személyzettel, akik kedvesen és gyorsan szolgálnak ki, nem marad szennyes edény az asztalokon. Egyetlen negatívum a "napi takarítás", amiben jó lenne, ha a fürdőszoba padlója is beletartozna. Összességében szerintünk ez a legjobb hotel a Balatonon, a szobák mérete, panorámája, berendezése, a wellness mérete és az ellátás alapján.
