ORAVSKÝ HÁJ - Garden Hotel & Resort — Hotel in Brezovica

I had spent 2 nights at this charming resort settled in this virgin nature of Orava region in Slovakia. When coming there you feel like if you are at the end of the world and then the resort welcoming sign appears. ||||The architecture fits perfectly to the surrounding nature so you will instantly get that warm homey feeling. Villas are having cute names (named after characters in fairytales :)). Rooms and apartments are clean and nicely furnished (very tender romantic style). ||||The overall atmosphere is very relaxing. There is a playground, stables with horses (you can take a ridding class if you want) and relax centre where you can try several types of massages as well as spa (swimming pool and sauna, so DO NOT forget your swimsuit :)). Staff is very kind and helpful at any time. I could feel that they aapreciate their guest highly (what is not that obvious at some other places in Slovakia). ||||I was enjoying my friend´s wedding celebration here so you can organize an events here too. Everything went smooth and food here is also super delicious!||||Also wifi is FREE everywhere...

The location of the resort is amongst fields so is peaceful and relaxed. You will need a car to sample the surrounding attractions - Orava Castle, West Tatras which are both definitely worth visiting.||We visited in early September with my wife, her parents and 9 month old. Resort is baby friendly!||The resort is relatively new and accommodations are clean and modern in traditional style. Other facilities include great new wellness centre with pool / sauna / steam room / jacuzzi / massage. There is also a games room - pool / table tennis / air hockey as well as baby / toddler area.||On top of this the grounds of the resort include large grassed area with benches, play equipment, fire pit area, bbq area which would be wonderful in warm weather.||The service was friendly - special mention should go to Nina in the restaurant who won over our 9 month old with her friendliness and attention! Thank you :)||We would not hesitate to recommend and will probably return.||Ps An outdoor pool area was under construction when we were there - adding...

Perhaps one of the best accommodations in Orava regions, with spa and many other options to relax, Oravsky haj is situated about 1 km from the first village in the green, plain land. They even have a pool and staff is very friendly.||On the other side, the beds were just a shame - having booked kingsize bed, we got two simple beds tied together, with the wooden edges sticking out in the middle of the "kingsize" bed.||The staff offered us different apartment, with the same problem: "This is our standard" they say. At this price tag, I would expect anything but this.||Also, the food in the restaurant is rather mediocre and overpriced, the same applies to hot beverages. As there was no possibility to make coffee or tea in our room and there is no caffe/restaurant a few kilometres around, the...
