Hotel Golf Reviews

What a suprise this holiday was,not having been to Slovenia before we were a bit aprehensive.
The transfer from Ljublijana airport was only 1/2 hour.
The lake and countryside are stunning and clean.
The island and hilltop castle give the area a fairytail look and both are within easy reach of the vilage.
A leasurly walk round the lake takes 1and 1/2 hours, that's if you don't stop at a couple of cafe's on the way round.
This is not a place for the very young as it is very quiet and the only part where we saw any was on a campsite at the opposite end of the lake.

The hotel had been updated and is now In my view worthy of 5* status and huge inside. We had a lake view from our 10X8ft balcany which is a preffered side of the hotel for us, the rear looks over gardens and woods so more a matter of taste.
There are about 60 steps down to the main road, which was not busy during our stay, but there is an easier slope to walk down (past the only local supermarket, shops and cafes) .

The food was a buffet style breakfast (ie) as much as you could eat,we saw champagne on 2 occasions but decided coffee would do for us at that time in the morning!
The evening meal,again buffet style was a feast for the eyes so much so that we were sure that had put on some weight,but due to the six new pools of various types, indoor and outdoor which we used daily helped us to loose any.
The staff were very friendly and efficient.
The Crystal rep's 1 English + 1 Slovenian were helpfull and organised.
The Pension Mayer is a must forlunch,a stunning austrian style range of newish buildings, superb food and wine.
We are thinking of returning in 2006...

probably one of the best hotels in this resort. it has great facilities, lovely rooms, a superb spa and the staff are helpful and friendly. Pay extra for a lakeside view - it is worth it. The buffet breakfast was excellent, a huge choice, all well prepared. During my stay (May 2005) there were several conferences on at the hotel so be prepared to mix with business people during your stay.

Bled is beautiful: the scenery is stunning and for lovers of the outdoors it cannot be surpassed. If your up to it try the rafting, only a few minutes from Bled and a great way to spend a few hours. The instructors are very helpful and take good care of you.there a a few good restaurents in the resort and they dont vary that much - best to sample a few during lunch and if you fancy the menu return for dinner.

Highly recommended for a relaxing, enjoyable holiday. Only critisism is the lack of transport from Airport - taxi is best option but expensive.

Upon arrival at Hotel Golf, Bled, Slovenia, we were informed that the Swimming Pools, were out of action as was the gym,sauna,sun terrace, brasserie.
The Hotel had undergone a major refit ansd should have been ready in July 2004.
It is now September 2004, and the hotel had informed all holiday companies of the delay.
Balkan Holidays had not informed any of its clients of the lacking hotel amenities.
Do we need to say any more of Balkan Holidays, honesty and reliabily towards keeping clients informed, take note!
