“Overpriced and overcroweded”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2011

We stayed in an "Atrium" bungalow in August 2011. The accomodation is spacious but quite a few little things, e.g. mosquito nets, latches or locks, around are broken or falling apart. There is a short walk to the grassy beach on the Balaton. Though the sunbeds are free if you do not come the very first thing after 7am you may forget about those as everything will be snatched - there is far more people than the sunbeds! There are only two little stairs where you can get into the lake and the lake bed is not dredged or clean so you will get plenty of chance of feeling fresh water mussels under your feet - beware the cuts! The pool outside is about a foot deep so only good for toddlers. The good point is that indoors there are a swimming pool, saunas and a shallow pool with jets; the bad point is that it is all overcowded to an unbelievable point.

The worst point really is food. Very modest meal (two adults and two children) at noon would be around 40-50 pounds and you need to be quick as there is not enough place (the Germans seem to have their meals earlier than us and they take their time....) Standard evening meal at the hotel is nearly 60 quid and it is far too expensive for what it is, all drinks, soft or alcohol, are to be paid as extras. We tried the "Cafe Tihany" (a restaurant near the ferry, just outside the resort) and the grill outside - in the first we were served vinegar instead of wine and they suddenly stopped understanding English when we complained, the other was nice but very expensive. The Germans seem to drive there with cars stuffed - this seems clever as there is nowhere else to eat. The village Tihany itself - definitely worth a day in - is about two miles away.

All in all - far too many people for what is there and the food is a rip-off.

“A very nice hotel to relax and enjoy”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 April 2011

The hotel is situated at the end of the peninsula and there is not much noise around. The hotel is very clean and tidy. The staff is nice. There are many activities to do around. You can play basketball, tenis,football....Many activities are for free.
The wellness is pretty good for a three star hotel. Saunas are nice. The pools too..
The food is delicious. You have a big variety of different kinds of food.
There was also some animation for children every day.
Altogether we were very satisfied with this hotel. We came there to relax and it was the perfect spot to do this.

Room Tip: Almost all rooms have lake view :)

“A bit overrated, average in all areas”

We'd heard this was the best hotel in the area, and were disappointed when we arrived. Hotel needs a lot of rennovation and updating and the lake wasn't that attractive. No air conditioning either.

“for families with children”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 July 2007
4
people found this review helpful

It's a four-star hotel which doesn't really deserve all of its stars. We arrived there after a stay in a three-star hotel in Budapest, and each day, we remembered that Budapest hotel wistfully.
We chose what they call superior rooms which means our room had a balcony, a view of the lake Balaton, and an air-conditioner. Since the temperature was around 40 C, the a/c was much appreciated. People across the hall from us who didn't have it kept windows and doors open to get at least some air. Some people brought their own electric fans to survive the heat.
The rooms are large, and there their four-star quality ends. The beds were extremely uncomfortable. When I sat in bed trying to read the headboard came right up to the middle of my neck, and it was excruciating. The pillows were thin and uncomfortable, too. The bedframes were clearly designed to keep people out of bed and as far away from it as possible since I stubbed my toes more times than I care to count. The lampshades were dirty. The bathroom was cleanish, and that's the best that can be said it.
The food in the restaurants was good, and the menu for buffet breakfast and dinner varied pleasantly. However, make sure you know your German when you order lunch from a menu or drinks for the buffet dinner. No other language (unless it's Hungarian) will get you anywhere.
The hotel has a spa they call a beauty farm, and they offer very nice massages and baths. Although beware again that if you don't speak Hungarian or German you won't get very far there. The receptionists speak English, nobody else apparently does.
The hotel also has a thermal water swimming pool "with surprises," i.e. a variety of massage showers. The showers are great.
Most importantly, it's really a hotel for families with chidren. It's overrun by kids of all ages. And if you're not prepared to listen to wild screams all day long (we weren't), this is not a hotel for you. Kids start running around and shrieking their heads off as early as 7 a.m., and no matter how hard their parents try to keep them in check, it doesn't help. And I won't describe what they did with the showers in the pool, it defies imagination. The beach there is nice, but not many people swim in the lake itself, so the pools were really overcrowded.
In short, it's a family getaway, and unless you have a few kids you are unlikely to enjoy Club Tihany much.
