Resort was friendly and clean. The pools were nice. The beds are extremely hard and not comfortable to sleep on and the mixed alcohol options are extremely limited. The shower was very small and difficult to move around in. There was a lot of loud kids outside in the early morning which makes it hard for people to sleep who have jetlag.

Staff in particular christina was amazing. Very friendly very helpful. Anything you were unsure of , places to visit she advised and was never wrong. Only thing we noticed that was a little off putting was that the change over of staff were quite frequent with no form of pattern. Was hoping to see christina before we left but never managed too.

Property was great and spacious with playground for children. Food was good especially the breakfast and staff offered good service
Two elements for improvement:
1. Parking space, only a few parking spots available to park
2. No elevator or bell boy to help with luggage’s , could be a problem for older people, no cares either.

Great place to stay

This is a great place for families. So many awesome activities are available for families. Our little kids loved it. Wish we could have stayed a few extra days.Hard liquor and easily accessible snacks in the room are nice, but within reach of little children is not a very good idea. Free and easy parking is great. The breakfast is excellent.

Avoid.

Booked a deluxe suite, arrived late on the evening and they greeted me by saying they have no rooms left cause they overbooked. Okay, mistakes happen... expect on multiple booking services it seemed they still had rooms left.

I had paid already and they (both the clerk and the general manager we called) assured me I'll be refunded promptly and I need nothing in writing from them, things will take care of themselves. Sure... expect they don't reply to the multiple calls/emails from Hotels.com and don't seem to even intend to refund me. How surprising.

5-Star service? No, far from it.

What it's worth, the place looked nice, but not nearly as nice as in the pictures.

Avoid, there's plenty of better stuff around.

Hot water problem in my room

The big problem with my room, an executive room was that there was no hot water. I paid extra and compromised with twin beds for the jetted hottub and ended washing up with barely warm water after waiting for almost one and a half hours for the problem to be fixed, as adviced by the front desk. The issue didn’t get solved and they said they are very sorry and the only thing they can do is downgrade me to a standard room, without any refund or compensation, as the other executive rooms were booked. I read in the comments that this happened before, but I thought half an year should be enough to fix it. Apparently not... and dealing with such a problem after you’ve been on the road for a good 5h is a great inconvenience.
Other than that, the hotel is great for some R&R, away yet close enough to the crowded mountain attractions. I only tried a desert in the restaurant, but it was great...
Too bad for the water issue and the shoulder lifting that came with it, otherwise it would have been a perfect stay.

Perfect

Accommodations are decorated in a Romanian folk style with a modern vibe. The hand-painted furniture and detailed carved wooden cabinets are stunning. The murals are awesome and the views of the Carpathians are absolutely incredible. The hotel staff, especially Cornel, were friendly, attentive and helpful. The fitness areas available are spacious, the pool has a hot tub and waterfall feature and the sauna is well-maintained. Free parking and a beautiful courtyard. Don't miss eating at the restaurant for dinner! By far the best Romanian restaurant we ate at. The food was authentic, fresh, hot and delicious. Nothing but love for this place- couldn't have imagined a more perfect accommodation!

Nice and cosy restaurant area , but food what we had wasn't great (although I would recommend cheese player!).

We stayed at this hotel for only two nights, but the experience we had was amazing. I did not expect such a great customer service ! I was surprised in a good way ! Starting from receptionist, waiters, maids, everybody has a great attitude towards the customers. The Hotel itself has a very traditional design. Thank you for your service, Daniel and Cornel, and compliments to the cooks for the deliciousmeals. Thank you, Conacul Ambient, for making our staying a great experience !

Better than the pictures

This was an amazing hotel. The entire staff went out of their way to make sure my stay was comfortable. The restaurant was closed for a private function, but they served me separate and made sure that I was able to eat dinner there. The head waiter, Cornel, is amazing and made sure to take great care of me for dinner, and breakfast the next morning. This is one of the few hotels where the rooms and the grounds look better than the pictures on the website. This hotel is perfectly located for a weekend of castle hopping throughout Transylvania.

Beautiful rooms

We had an executive room with an amazing spa bath - more features than usual spa bath - changing light colours! Beautiful spacious room very ornately furnished, crisp cotton bedding, very special rooms - very different to usual 5*. A few niggles - water pressure low so ages to fill bath, water warm /hot - not hot, safe broke. Breakfast fine, nice pastries but nothing special. Staff excellent. Restaurant really nice, tasty food reasonably priced - grilled chicken breast with home made chips £5. Excellent set up for families, great play park, tennis courts, ping pong - this did make it as bit noisy at breakfast and sitting on balcony but mainly with the less well behaved kids. Overall great hotel with dedicated staff and the rooms made the niggles worth it.

Not a 5 star hotel! More like 3.5 star.

This hotel is not 5 star, I would give it 3.5 stars. No air-con in the room, no kettle and coffee accessories, no iron board and lots other missing. It has a very bad position, being situated in a village, absolutely no sight seeing; you need to drive for 15-20 minutes to reach the mountains. This hotel is way over rated. The self service restaurant is not so great and the prices are high. I visited this hotel in Feb this year, they wouldn't even leave the central heater on when the temperate was like 3-6C outside. It was quite chill inside the room most of the time. So we paid for a 5 star hotel which was trying to save money by not heating the rooms.

stay, if you can't drive for 10 more miles

The town, where it, is just a village in the middle of nowhere. I had to take back roads to get to the hotel. I had to park my car on the street (and, I was worried all night if I find it in the morning). When I got through the gate, the reception was locked. I had to wait outside for 10 minutes until somebody came in. The food was horrible (yes, I know how good Romanian authentic food tastes like). On the checkout, the receptionist has muttered something back in Romanian (locals laughed in response). So, why is this hotel having 5 starts???

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It was quaint and cozy and the room was very clean and comfortable. We appreciated the peace and quiet.

Nice Stay in the Romanian Countyside

A very inviting hotel. The garden/patio area was particularly attractive as are the features of the rooms themselves. Some questionable layout decisions, such as the pool table next to a few guest rooms (my alarm clock, unfortunately). Parking spots are limited but there is plenty of street parking. The restaurant serves good food, although I was locked in the restaurant after dinner waiting to pay the bill. Very tranquil regardless (despite the pool table) and a good alternative for those wanting to avoid the bustle of Bran, Brasov, or even Poiana Brasov. Would give a higher rating for room quality (they are quite pleasant), but the bathroom was very small and the window was directly adjacent to the neighboring room's balcony and had no curtain.

Why have we waited so long?

What a wanderful intrduction to Romania. From the Airport Pickup, to the custom tours, every thing was executed in a professional and friendly manner. Ten minutes from the centre of Brasav makes this hotel a great first stop for anyone wanting to explore the richness of Romania.

Needs ac and a little more staff for 5 star.

Very pretty hotel in a very quiet but handy location (if you have a car). Nice pool and other facilities and they cleaned some clothes for us very promptly. However, no air conditioning and it is very warm in the summer and it was sometimes impossible to find any staff to help you (my wife wandered round the whole hotel for about 10 minutes trying to find someone for the clothes washing (reception was shut) and this gave the hotel quite an unfriendly feel. This is not helped by the long lists of rules and regulations in the rooms. Breakfast was OK but nowhere near 5 star (or even 4 star) as advertised. Would be a brilliant hotel with a/c and more staff.

Guter Landesstandard, nicht ganz billig.

Obwohl ein Doppelbett und ein Zustellbett (extra 15€ bezahlt) bestellt und auch bestätigt waren, war das Zustellbett lediglich am Gang im EG gestanden. (Zimmer OG) wir kamen um ca 21.20 Uhr an. Checkin. Die Dame an der Rezeption fragte ob wir beim Tragen des Bettes ins Zimmer helfen können. Es hat sich dann doch ein Angestellter geopfert.
Das Restaurant schliesst um 21.30 (letzte Bestellung) obwohl wir um 21.20 da waren wurde darauf hingewiesen es wäre zu spät jetzt noch etwas zu bestellen.
Ein tüchtiger Gastronom oder Hotelbetreiber hätte gesagt diese drei Sachen bietet die kleine Küche noch. Man hat es trotz niedriger Gehälter und hoher Arbeitslosigkeit nicht nötig. Frühstück war in Ordnung, die dröhnende durchaus gute Loungemusik habe ich selber leiser gestellt.
Highlight war der Pool. Auch bier wurde sofort hingewiesen dass um 22.00 Uhr Schluss sei.
Es gibt sicher günstigere, gleichwertige Übernachtungsmöglichkeiten dennoch eine Empfehlung.

Un angolo di paradiso in Transilvania

Questo hotel è davvero una delizia a due passi da Brasov e Bran. Davvero bellissimo e curato in ogni particolare. Stanze grandi e dotate di ogni confort (noi addirittura avevamo una sorta di mini tablet da portare a spasso, con informazioni turistiche). Stupenda la piscina riscaldata con mini area SPA. Una menzione anche per la colazione, di qualità! Insomma un angolo di paradiso per coccolarsi un pochino durante un viaggio in Transilvania. Consigliatissimo!
