So we were lucky enough to relax in this "fabulous" place. In advertising booklets, the hotel, by the way, is already becoming a five-star hotel. We waited for check-in for more than six hours - our booked room turned out to be occupied, naturally, they could not release it in the absence of residents, but the residents left for a ride. Cosmetic accessories, towels (with the logo "Iceberg *****") and toilet paper were brought to us only after we insistently asked for it. When asked about a hair dryer, we received a magical answer: "We do not have free hair dryers. " The pool and sauna are open, but only until 20.00. If you ride all day, you can come in for an hour and a half. "Caribbean bar" - three plastic tables with chairs near the pool. "The lobby bar is the best place to drink coffee or an exotic cocktail" - it has a very meager assortment. The only place in the entire resort where the bartender doesn't know what mulled wine is. Spa - we saw a manicure table in an unlit room, we could not sign up for a manicure - the girls work according to some extremely difficult schedule. There is a massage. Mediocre, but you can go. Breakfasts - announced from 7.30. In fact, from 8.00. At eight, the lifts are already starting to work, it's a pity to lose time. Breakfast does not please with a special variety, however, there are fresh vegetables, sausage cheese, muesli, scrambled eggs and fried sausages. They preferred to dine in other places. The slopes of the resort - can be characterized by the word "unkempt". During the thaw, we did not see any working cannons, after a heavy snowfall, not a single snowcat left for two days, the snow was knee-deep. Maps and signs are extremely rare, at first it is difficult to understand where you are and where you need to turn to go to the right place. For a beginner snowboarder, this would be hell in general - the blue runs contain a lot of absolutely gentle sections that you have to overcome on foot. Wide "training" slopes are at the very top, a tablet lift leads there, very sharp, and skiers fell there. In general, you can go there to rest only for the sake of nature - huge snow-covered firs, wonderful air. As for the rest, I don’t want it myself, and I don’t advise my friends.
