Guest Tips

One great way to enjoy the spa is to go into the pools and saunas at night. The whole complex has these great lights that make for a magical, super romantic feel–totally different from what you get during the day. Often there are fewer people at these later times, so the whole under-the-stars experience is more peaceful and relaxing.

To make sure you get the full spectrum of wellness treatments, it’s best to book any particular massages or beauty treatments well ahead of your stay. The spa is very popular, especially during the weekends, and the most sought-after treatments and times do tend to get booked up. This can usually be done online or by calling the spa reception direct before you arrive.

Though the dining at the hotel is great, one can experience a meal in a traditional Slovak style at some local ‘koliba’ or ‘salaš’ in the nearby countryside. A brief drive will get you to places that serve hearty local specialties, such as ‘bryndzové halušky’ in a rustic authentic setting.

Use the hotel as a center for exploring the beautiful countryside around. Do some hiking at Súľov Rocks (Súľovské skaly)—this great rock formation that would-be paradise for hikers is just a short drive from the hotel. A trip back in time can be taken with the ruins of Lietava Castle, one of the largest castles in Slovakia, it is also not far and provides an impressive view.
