Holiday Club Saimaa Hotel

This place can not be recommended. We booked a family room specifying we came with two 13y olds, the sofa bed was no where near wide enough for two kids that age. Service at reception and restaurants were slow and not very engaged. Room A/C did not work properly, and room temp went from 27C to 25C during the night, not comfortable.

We were promised a spa but there was only a pool and a slide. Fine if you have kids but it is not a place to go as a couple's getaway

Our room was beautiful, looked just like the photos. Lots of things to do. We came to visit a family member who moved here. The only downside was that no one is very fond of Americans, so demeanor and service changed quite a bit once we started talking and the knew we were from the US, it was made pretty obvious. Other than that the hotel and area are very nice places.

In the angry birds park, adults need to pay also, this is a rip off, 51 euro to have one child play is a run down play center(robbery). Also it took an hour in O'leary to even get our starters delivered. This is unacceptable.

Very big hotel with spa, aquapark, bowling and etc. Really busy, too busy for rest and relaxation. Probably, good for families with children but not for adults - I was with my adult daughter - it was...difficult... for both of us. I guess, time is not very good as it is the time of school holidays but I never want to repeat this experience.

Getaway with 2 kids. Standard family room was spacious enough for me and my 2 children. Kids loved the spa, I maybe missed some natural light from there. Area is nice, close to lake which is extremely nice during summer but winter time not that much to do outside. Spa opened only 3 PM which was a bit dull to wait in the morning. Breakfast was a typical scandinavian, a bit unhealthy for my taste as I prefer berries over jams and fruits over juices but otherwise ok. Restaurants were a bit crowded right after the spa was closed and again some boring waiting time for the kids
