Honestly saying, there is no better resort to live here in qabala other than this. I mean they are more than perfect and value for money. You must be thinking that the other resort are way cheaper than this but once you come here than you won’t even think of living anywhere else, Simply AMAZING.

Verified traveler

The pool was down the hill and not in the hotel as it was written, that there is a free entrance to the spa and pool. There was also no free busservice to the Pool side and also it was snowing that time. There was no winterservice and the streets up the mountains been full of snow and ice. The hotel is new and in a good condition also the service was ok and the entrance into the ski area was also cool.

Fatima

Disliked: Staff & service
Skiing is convenient yet unfortunately the Front Desk Staff ruined our trip. We booked two rooms - capacity of 3 per room (we had 2 adults and 1 child in each room). The Front Desk staff would not honor this and made me pay extra on top of my prepaid booking. I've traveled a lot and never have I encountered such a rude and unfriendly team. The manager cursed at me in the local language. My elderly parents were with me -- they witnessed everything and the front desk team did not care. They were laughing and smirking. Never again will I return to this hotel due to the Front Desk Staff.
