Apricot Aghveran Resort

First the positive : great location and environment, modern building, many activity options (heated pool, hiking, games). But the level of service is far from what you can expect from a luxury resort and a hotel of that price. Rooms are large but not well maintained nor serviced (cleaning not done everyday, bugs in the room, even not a bottle of water offered), most staff do not speak English, breakfast is available only from 9am (and at that time, there is no fresh bread; fresh bread is available from 9:20 or so !), impossible to get a coffee before 9:00am (everything closed until that time, front desk not staffed 24/7 - I went twice at 7am and at 8am : nobody !). Main restaurant based on a all-inclusive principle : large hall with maybe 200 seats with no privacy at all, loud music, no decoration. Feeling of being in a company canteen rather than a resort restaurant. Quality if the food is average with limited change from one day to another : the same fruit plates are served for breakfast, lunch and dinner (so not very fresh), same for the salads (same for the three meals), lots of cheap stuff (pasta, rice, potatoes) and limited offer of really cooked food. Most staff just does the minimum required : no smile, low sense of service to clients. In a nutshell, this resort has a great potential, but is not managed with care or is managed to maximize profitability in the short term.

I rarely write reviews, but in this case, it's impossible not to… Our stay at Apricot Aghveran Resort was a true gift-majestic mountains, crisp air, and breathtaking views...Despite the snow, the days felt almost like spring. The rooms were spacious, bright, and exactly as pictured, with large balconies overlooking the stunning landscape. Nestled in the mountains with flowing rivers, the resort offers tranquility and great hiking opportunities. Though the observatory was closed, I look forward to returning to explore it! The food was outstanding-fresh, organic, and rich in Armenian flavors. The talented kitchen team, Ruben, Haik, and David, provided exceptional service! A special highlight was the Bali massage by Cynthia, whose expertise created a truly relaxing experience. With amenities like a game room, sauna, and outdoor pool (soon an indoor one too), the resort is perfect for both relaxation and adventure. I can't wait to return!

The best place for family vacation. Surrounded by virgin nature, modern comfortable cottages, comfortable rooms, clean and well-kept environment. The entire staff works very flexibly and willingly to satisfy every guest's whims as much as possible. The food is diverse and delicious. Thank you for organizing a beautiful and positive energy-filled vacation for us. I want to express my special thanks to Narine, Azat and the director for making the impossible possible. Thank you for your human being and high work quality. Many successes. We will come again with love.

Apricot in Armenian hospitality resembles with high standards and good quality! Very nice hotel and restaurant. You can sit inside and outside or have the meal inside and take your coffee and sit at outdoor location. Very convenient. Waiters need to be trained. Thank you!
