Maria Resort Hotel — Hotel in Gegharkunik Province

To be honest, according to European standards this is not a resort. Another downside is that without your own transport the hotel is rather in the middle of nowhere.|| ||That being said, the hotel is not exactly “at” the lake but the lake is within view and a very short (less than 5 minutes) walking distance. The lake does not offer wide sandy beaches, but it is a safe and clean place to swim and offers a lot of local charm (anything between small fishing boats and Armenian families). It is also easy to find a taxi at the nearby (also 5 minute walking distance) hospital. ||||And there is a lot to like at Maria Resort. The rooms are spacious and impeccably clean and the large and clean (albeit a tad cold) pool is fantastic. If you are looking for tranquility and/or a family oriented hotel you will get good value for money.||||In spite of the language problems (I speak no Armenian and just a few words Russian) the staff would go out of their way to help or accomodate me, even to the extent of driving me to the bus station themselves when my taxi did not show up.||||I had a lovely time...

I have stayed in Maria ''resort" /its hard to say its a resort, its more likely to say armenian pansionat)/ for 2 nights and I can say that the only good things in hotel are its swimming pool, and the outside of it. Rooms are not bad but there was a very bad smell in our rooms. I want to say some words about the staff. They are not polite, they dont smile. The girl from reception didn't tell about hotel facilities upon check in and during our check out they even didnt want to say good bye or how was your stay.|| In the evevning i asked for a tea/ they even dont have room service and dont know what room service means))/ The associate `a woman /the name is Klara/ in a very unpolite manner told that the woman in the kitchen is tired and can't make tea, i was surprised and asked for the manager.|| I will advise the hotel managment to pay more attention to its associates behaviour, to train them because they work like in 90s Motels)))||Anna Galstyan,...

This is an ok hotel with a big well kept area, a good pool, a lot of green and facility for kids' entertainment.|Food is almost basic and repetitive with only 2 hot dishes but a lot of various salads.|The problem is that there is no coffee, and if something is finished, that is not a problem at all, it is just not served . |The biggest drawback is that the territory (10 min walk ) that could become the private beach of the hotel is unattended and unkept. I mean there is no beach that the hotel takes care of or cleans. Staying in such a pricey place you have no option of using a good beach. |Everything else is ok, we were given a big apartment instead of 2 rooms, it was comfortable and good. But there was no hairdryer in the room and the blankets and bedding were from the early Soviet period (old and heavy and...
