"We booked two rooms: one with a direct lake view, one with a side view. The rooms vary in size. The side room is narrow and smaller. The shower amenities are Comfort Zone tranquility! The restaurant is good. Delicious. The hotel maintains a relaxed resort atmosphere, especially if you have time to soak it up for more than just one or two nights. We stayed for five nights. The views from the room with a direct lake view and from the sky bar are magnificent! Pleasant snacks and cocktails at the sky bar. A small pool is also there. Across the road (not the highway!) is a beach club on the lake with a large pool and various seating areas (now with a table at the bar, further away, sun loungers with and without umbrellas, cabanas), a modern area with restrooms, showers, and a changing room (there are lockers and a hairdryer). The pool itself has two hydromassage zones. There's a pier (you can dive into the lake, but you have to return via the public beach). The atmosphere in the club is pleasant. We (a family of four staying in late August) had no problems finding sun loungers. To the hotel management: The staff at the sky bar requires your guidance and participation. They are pleasant, but not always attentive and consistent during busy hours. I appreciated the human touch (it started raining heavily, and the staff saw and understood my predicament and offered a shortcut under the bar's roof). However, one evening on the roof, I had to remind them about my order and snacks.
Bottom line: a modern hotel, comfortable, and the undeniable advantage of a pool with a view and the opportunity to swim in the lake. We would return. Especially since there's construction nearby on the hotel extension (there was no noise at the end of August). The poster says completion is 2026, but I don't really believe in the deadlines."
