Booked a 5 night break on full board basis at Bagiñsky Spa in Pobierowo on the Baltic coast. Whilst this is a very busy holiday area in the summer months for Polish nationals the area is very quiet at this time of year with almost all the shops and restaurants closed. However, we were very pleased with the hotel, the standard of the rooms, the facilities in the hotel and especially the standard of the food in the restaurant. The pool, sauna, steam room and fitness studio were all great with very few guests using them at the time. Also, the cost of all the Spa treatments were unbelievably cheap at one third the normal cost in the UK. The walks along the miles of golden sand beached are stunning and the beaches are spotlessly clean. All in all, we were very impressed with the Spa Hotel, the beaches and the total cost of the package was a real bargain. Definitely would recommend for a short break but use of a car is really necessary.

“discreto, buono il ristorante”

Nella sala i tavoli non sono abbinati alle camere: chi prima arriva meglio alloggia. Noi, essendo in 5, alcune volte abbiamo dovuto separarci per cenare.

Nella sala i tavoli non sono abbinati alle camere: chi prima arriva meglio alloggia. Noi, essendo in 5, alcune volte abbiamo dovuto separarci per cenare. La cena dalle 17 alle 19 è inusuale per gli italiani e, se nel pomeriggio si vuole fare un giro nei paraggi, diventa problematico tornare in tempo. La cucina è buona, i ragazzi di sala sono molto ben educati e impeccabili. Eccezionalmente conoscono il tedesco, quindi parlano solo polacco. Le camere sono carine, ma gli asciugamani che sono stati cambiati (1 volta in una settimana) erano già sporchi! Per fortuna che avevamo i nostri.

“Nice hotel, but dietary needs not catered to even if pre-ordered”

Stayed here with an extended family for 4 days in early January. We had a rather spacious room on 2nd floor with a view of the forest and of other buildings within the complex.

Stayed here with an extended family for 4 days in early January. We had a rather spacious room on 2nd floor with a view of the forest and of other buildings within the complex. The location is a bit away from the town centre, but still very walkable, i.e. 10-15 mins walk to grocery stores, few minutes to the beach etc. Since we visited in January, most restaurants and shops in town were closed for the season. The hotel has some amenities like a small pool, jacuzzi, a steam sauna and not-so-great infrared sauna. If you timed it well, you could enjoy these in more quiet times throughout the day. We also managed to book their massage therapy which was really good; the therapist was very knowledgeable and made sure he finds all the knots/areas that needed dealing with. The staff were pleasant, the whole place was kept clean, and we only had some very noisy neighbours for a night or two, which was manageable. The two downsides that we noticed were: 1. lacking gym facilities (the gym is small and has almost no equipment, except for two large treadmills. Lack of basic pilates or strength equipment, especially with so many seniors visiting who could take advantage of it, makes this gym completely pointless and useless if I’m honest. I.e. who chooses to walk on a treadmill if they can walk outside on a stunning beach…); and 2. Food options. Despite advertising that they can cater to all dietary needs, they were having major issues following simple instructions even when pointed out. As a vegetarian, and despite pre-ordering vegetarian meals, I was served not once, but twice, dinners that didn’t follow my diet, i.e. soup with chunks of sausage in it, and also fish the next day. We had to complain and remind them every night that meat and fish cannot be served with what we ordered. The breakfasts and suppers were served in a buffet format, and, again, as a vegetarian, I found them very lacking. I.e. I frequently couldn’t eat much because eggs were always served with meat, and the ‘warm buffet’ options were always meat dishes. I could only eat bread, dairy and sometimes some veggies if available. If I was a vegan, I would starve here. I am not sure how they follow health-driven diets such as for diabetic or folks with gut or heart problems etc, but I wouldn’t trust their knowledge or care; the food was very fatty and heavy. I did enjoy all the raw salads they served with their dinners, though, and it was frequently all I could eat with my potatoes for dinner, despite ordering ‘special vegetarian meals’. Even my carnivore family was appalled by what the kitchen kept serving me. All in all, we found this little vacation relaxing enough and the hotel to be rather adequate. I would not however recommend it to anyone with specific dietary needs.
