Beatus Wellness and Spa Hotel is a family-run hotel where Swiss service and quality are the hallmarks of the experience. Situated on the scenic Thun Lake, an alpine lake in the Berner Oberland of Switzerland, the hotel is a 20-minute car ride from Interlaken along the shores of Lake Thun. We chose the spa experience for a 4-night stay which included full buffet breakfasts, lunches of soup and salad, afternoon cake, and 4-course gourmet dinners daily. Three spa treatment choices were selected, in this case one aromatic oil massage with Swiss herbs by Yon-Ka Paris, one sport massage and one honey body scrub. All treatments are in immaculately clean and calming rooms where native herbs are utilized for oils and scents. In addition to the massages, we immersed ourselves twice-daily in the outdoor, saltwater thermal pool heated to 35 degrees centigrade, the perfect temperature for many musculoskeletal health ailments and detoxification. This outdoor pool is open year-round and the water temperature allows enjoyment even when surrounded by snow. There is also a large indoor saltwater pool heated to an equally comfortable temperature where you can swim laps. Guests were mostly mature couples, families with adult children and young professionals seeking therapeutic, restful and balancing days. The overall vibe was Zen-like, peaceful, meditative and restorative. The rooms have sumptuous beds, modern bathrooms and many have beautiful views with terraces directly on the lake. During warm weather days, there is an expansive lawn on the lake that is filled with lawn chairs. Activities abound with options such as canoeing, motor boat rentals, kayaking and swimming in the beautiful clear waters of Lake Thun. The hotel offers outings such as hiking in the mountains surrounding Lake Thun for every level of expertise which are led by local mountaineers, morning gymnastics, yoga and other relaxation exercises. Overall, this was one of the most restorative and relaxing get-aways in a luxurious environment that left us feeling healthy, pampered and reinvigorated.

This review was written by my 8-year old daughter: About this hotel: It is a family hotel. If you are a kid, the first thing they are going to do is give you a teddy bear. It has a swimming pool and a gym. The swimming pool is really cool and it has a small waterfall built into a rock. The gym is quite big itself but we didn't go there. It has a nice view and a nice hotel restaurant. The food is really good and they have a really great breakfast. You order the main food and you get to choose the side dishes from a breakfast bar. For the main food, I picked omelet - it is quite yummy but it was not salty enough. For the side dishes, I picked cereal, kiwi and juice. They were all really yummy and sweet. You should go to Dorint. I give this hotel a five star review. -- From the parents' side a few additional notes: On the negative side - There is no AC in the apartment, so while this may not matter in the summer, it was quite warm during our visit (30-35C). It cools off nicely in the evening, but there are no screens on the window, so you'll likely end up with a few moths or other bugs in the room if you leave the windows open. On the positive side, they really cater well to families - from the teddy bear at check-in to a little board game on the back of the kids menu, to the small playground area (which seemed to be good for 4-6 year olds). They

We stayed in a suit for 4 adults, we were 3, the room is very clean and lot of space, workers are very nice and gentle, good reception, free car parking area for residents. Breakfast was very good, although there are few varieties, but delicious and nice. There is a very spectacular park in the backyard, facing the lake with a very beautiful site. A very wide bath with a shower and bathtub,the bad thing about bathroom is that the shower box is a clear glass, that you'll be visible to everyone in the room while taking your shower, the bathtub also is open to the room with no door that the others will watch you sitting there, no privacy.

Friendly reception despite early check-in. The rooms are small, but all equipped for a short stay. Breakfast takes place in a conference room and offers something to start in the day. Very friendly staff. Unfortunately, the room was extremely ring-hearted, so we could best hear the Asian travel group from their rise to the departure with the car on Sunday morning at 07:30. - Franks per night the accommodation does not meet the price-performance ratio. The beds are rather narrowly measured. The room was at tropical temperatures above 30 degrees, which were to be tolerated only with open windows. This means additional noise emissions from outside conversations and roller bags.

The Belvedere Strandhotel in Spiez was a great hotel for me and my husband during our time in the Interlaken region. Upon arrival, the hotel kindly sent a shuttle to pick us up at the train station, a true perk when you travel with luggage (the hotel is a 10 min walk from the train station). We loved the pool/spa areas, which were great for relaxing after a long day of hiking/tourism. The spa overlooks the lake and we even sat in the sauna while it rained to take in more of the view. The staff was friendly but there was a bit of a language barrier. We would have given the hotel 5 stars but the room was terribly hot and opening the windows would attract bugs (plus it didn't really help cool down the room). Otherwise, the room was clean, comfortable, and spacious.

We visited Beatenberg as part of our road trip to Switzerland and amazed by the view of this village hence decided to checkout earlier from our hotel in Bern and stay in Stern hotel for the rest of our trip. We had a very nice, cosy, clean penthouse with a balcony and perfect view. I can’t recommend the host ( Vlad ) more than enough. His hospitality skill is fantastic and made us feel at home. He is a very social, kind gentleman who is always keen to support when needed. He advised us on the best attractions around the village and how to plan well for each day to enjoy the most. We all cant wait to return back Thanks for everything Vlad. Hope to see you soon again

The room was a cute pension-like room, and there was a shared terrace with the neighbors. It was great to eat and drink on the terrace! The food I bought at the supermarket tasted even better♪ If it's chilly, you can wrap yourself in the blanket in the room. The location is a bit of a downside, as it can only be reached by car or bus from Interlaken, but there were other good things, such as: ⚫︎There were several sections with great views along the way ⚫︎We were given a ticket to ride the bus for free on the way back (downbound) (it was helpful because we didn't have to call Uber), so overall I was satisfied◎ (!) I couldn't exchange money for Japanese yen at the hotel! But the receptionist was kind and helpful, and I was able to learn a lot of things♪

I've been looking forward to reviewing this hotel because we enjoyed our stay so much. The hotel is charming and probably the best place to stay in Spiez. Very convenient location, a few minutes (walk) away from the train station (they do offer a shuttle service as well, if needed) and 5 minutes (again walk) by the castle and lake. The rooms are absolutely spotless and super comfortable (amazing mattresses and pillows). We had a room with lake view and every morning and evening I loved going on the balcony to enjoy the fresh air, the mountain peaks and the sky (especially at night). We enjoyed the breakfast as well, not a lot of diversity, but very good quality. The spa is really amazing; I loved the heated outdoor swimming pool -- an absolute treat with views towards their beautiful garden and the lake. The staff has been very helpful and kind. Many thanks to Gerome (front desk) for all the useful recommendations during our stay. I can only say that we miss the hotel (and beautiful Spiez) already and look forward to returning soon!

Spiez is a delightful town on Lake Thun and we really enjoyed our stay at La Belle Vue, not least because of the [essential] option of the view itself. Fantastic. The station sits above the town, and although it's an easy walk (at least on the way down!), because of the height difference you might want to make it easier still and get the bus, especially if you have suitcases or mobility issues. The #61 to the harbour (schiffstation) runs every hour, at roughly 5 mins to the hour in both directions. This means you can fall out of the hotel guest entrance in the morning to get (say) the 08.57 up to the station, and on your arrival/return the xx.49 bus down to “Des Alpes”. (There are other options to/from “Krone/Kronenplatz”, both very close to the nearby roundabout, namely #1, 62 or 63 going down, or the #65 up at 9 mins past). Incidentally, being able to simply hop on or off any bus (or train, or boat) was the main reason we found the Swiss Pass so helpful - it may not have saved us any money but it was so convenient to have. What about the hotel itself? We had a 'Panorama Comfort Double Room with Balcony' (Room 31). The room is quite small and fitted out in a minimalist fashion, and our bathroom - although perfectly serviceable - looked rather incongruous by comparison (I gather they are to be refitted). It was nice having large opening windows for ventilation as well as a balcony. There are no tea-making facilities in the room but there is a drinks station in an alcove on the landing, which was a clever alternative. There's a lift but it's tiny, which is why our luggage was kindly taken to our room for us ahead of us whilst we were given a welcome drink. The broadband is extremely fast. Rather unusually the breakfast is assembled to order - the idea being to save wastage - but you can have as much as you want and eggs and one or two other cooked options are available at a small supplement. The young owners are very much ‘hands on’ and have assembled a great team, so I wish them every success, but although I've rated this as 5* based on our assessment at the time, I do feel rather let down by subsequent events... We stayed five nights - not least because the hotel currently offers a very generous 35% discount on stays of five nights or more. The booking confirmation confirmed that this discount had been applied, and the net figure was the amount that the hotel took from our card the day before we arrived. Given that ALL accommodation in Switzerland is expensive [to us Brits] I didn’t think any more about it - it was a very good deal - but now that I come to compare one establishment with another in the course of writing my reviews I find that the figures simply don’t add up… At the heart is a lack of transparency as to what the room rate actually was for early August.  I know what we actually paid – an average of £216 (plus £8 tax) per night (the actual rate varing accordingly to the day of the week, with Thurs & Fri being

I don't know why this is not a 4 star hotel instead of 3! Sonja runs an impeccable, darling Swiss hotel with comfy beds, an amazing sauna/spa and the most unforgettable dinner we've ever had! The views of the Alps from here were amazing! We found out that the 5 star hotels in town send their guests to Salzano for their dinner as it is that good. Sonja took time to explain every room of the sauna and how to best use it, even when the hotel was very busy. We needed laundry done and even though they usually need 48 hours in which to do it, she got it done in 36 as we had to leave. Superb EVERYTHING at this hotel - I cannot say enough! Thank you, Sonja and staff!!
