Hello travelers,
This wonderful place is located in Turia, Covasna, near Lake Sf. Ana and it is sourounded by mountains and green forests. The air is really clean and fresh! The views are amazing, same as nature! 🌲🌲
This hotel resort is really really fancy, equipped with everythig one family can need.
Is ideal for couples, singles or families with kids.
They have a few buildings but the main building is the hotel. There are a few apartments and villas too.

Accomodation
We stayed at the main hotel everytime called Grand Hotel Balvanyos, in a Superior Double Room, the best room possible.
It costs around 140$/night.
We came here two times already and actually, I'm in the car now, heading to this place again for the third time. 💙😁
All rooms are equipped with coffee maker, fridge, vault, AC, TV.
You can chose a standard room or a superior room.
The superior room has a balcony with a view over the forest and its a bit larger.
I added a lot of photos (a loooooooooot) so I'm gonna try comment on them.

Balcony view is what we love the most. We love to spend time in the balcony, even though we dont smoke or something. I love to admire the landscape, to have a coffee or a juice something. I love to read here, Caleb was always happy to bring his toys in here and play around us.
Its all about Relax time.
The rooms have a desk, as you can see in the pictures below. The bed is queen size, two lamps on every bedside.
I love the design of these rooms. Its a mix of modern with rustic elements, that makes it calm and relaxing.
There are light spots on the ceiling, those have a cool effect.
The bed is comfi, I'm telling you. We are picky when it comes to comfort beds. These are super comfi.
There is also a chair and a little sofa. You can have an extra bed for kids if needed, no fees.

The bathroom is also clean, equipped with everything you need.
They change your bed sheets and towels every day if you want and they arent noisy or disturbing.
Both me and kid were reading here.
I was reading a book of Wim Hof, he promotes the ice and cold baths.
@taliakerch actually wrote a post about it, and yes, Talia, I am someone who studied and got into W.H's method. Surprisee! 😁🤗🤗
We had a lot of fun playing Activity game with our friends. Omg, it was so so fun! Its in my luggage again this year, in case we find time and mood to play and get like kids. 😅
Entrance area
The entrance lobby is very nice, with a huge space for waiting and checking in. You'll find a coffee shop, where you'll find everything you need like water, fresh juice, soda drinks, cakes, cigarettes, alchoholic drinks etc.
There's an ATM too, right at the entrance.

Outside
There's a huge wall near the hotel, very nice looking. Also very practical. Behind that wall, we saw bears when we were here in summer.
The parking lot is huge, is really big. I think every tourist has a parking lot available. We found parkig every time.
There's a nice suspended terrace outside, in front of the hotel, where you can have a drink, admire the beauty of this place.
It has a glass railing, which makes it even more cool.


These photos are taken in summer.
You can see how green is everything.
They have a small garden with arromatic plants and more.
There's a sign saying "Watch the bears" and this sign is really something to consider! We have seen many bears in just 4 days when we were here in summer. They were near the parking lot, it was a bit scary.
My husband wanted to go one night to the car to bring something we forgot and the lady from the reception said: "I wouldnt recommend you going right now, there are bears in the night. Can you wait until morning?" 🐻😨
Here is a photo taken from the balcony, you'll see a family of bears. A mom with 3 cubs. 🐻🐻🐻
There is also an Adventure Park, really nice for kids.

Spa Zone
The Spa Zone is amazing, really clean. They clean it every 2 hours, there is a 15min time off from the spa, when they make this place clean.
You can chose to have a massage or a beauty treatment as well.
They have many massages, using different techniques.
Grand Santerra Spa its called the are with pools and treatments.
The spa zone has 3 saunas, one pool for kids, 2 indoor thermal pools, one big swimming pool, 1 thermal pool outside and a jacuzzi outside.
Also they have a gym, a salt room and a minibar near the pool.
They also have this nice zone where you go through a series of shower called Tropical shower. First its warm water then cold water and two more , but I dont remember. I cant wait to pay them a visit today. 😉😍🤣
The sunbeds are nice and comfi. You'll get clean towels every time, based on your room access card.

The kids pool is nice, with warm water.
It is somehow split in two, with different water levels. For small babies and toddlers/preschool aged kids, lets say.
This is outside, the pool is really nice and hot. The cold air and hot pool effect is the coolest and makes it magical in winter days.
Thats the jacuzzi there, not to big but what I like the most is that this place is not that crowded as you imagine. There's always room to everything here.
This is the massage and beauty treatemnts area.
I was doing a massage and some beauty body scrub and wrap.
They served me with lemonade and i had to wait for 10 minutes in a very nice and relaxation area.
From 19.00 kids are not allowed anymore at the pool.
Its called "Quiet Time". The ambient is very nice, quite, low light.
I'm really exciting about this because today will be the first time without kids. Hehe and I can relax properly.


This is the Gym and Salt room.
Food and Restaurants
Breakfast is free. It is delicious, bouffee style. It has a lot of food, the diversity is huge and the quality of foods is high.
Their cappucino is delicious.
They have a lobby for breakfast and also it turns into a dining area at night, where you can have dinner.
There is also another restaurant, The Fork, 1 minute away from the restaurant.
We went to both. They're ok, I dont have any complains. Some dishes are insanely good, other are OK.
The view from the food area is nice too. I love to stay at the window and admire the forest landscape.

As I said before, the resort is close to St. Anne Lake. We went there in an afternoon. Amazing time!
Balcony View
This is the best view possible! Third floor, seeing the whole landscape! ❤❤
Here is my first time sharing with you something about this place! The scenary is simply amazing! If you want to admire this beautiful landscape I had for a couple of days, it's just one click away!


I hope you enjoyed seeing this resort on my blog.
I totally recommend the place and expect some more of it soon enough!
Cant wait to be here, 30 minutes more to drive!!! Yeyyy 💙💙

It is literally one of the best places to relax when it comes to hotels here in Romania.
I was wowed when I saw this beautiful hotel. And the fact that it is situated in the heart of the mountain, I would definitely try it if I were there. Hehe. !LUV it !LADY

We really love it here and we come back everytime we get the chance. These days will be paradise. 😁❤
Enjoy the good life at its finest, you deserve it 🤗 I remember visiting Balvanyos 2 years ago and crossing by this hotel, but we opted in for a small chalet instead 😊
Thank you so much! 🤗🤗🤗❤
We really enjoy being here. One of our favorite place in Romania when it comes to hotels...
We only stayed at the hotel and visited Sf. Ana Lake. It is such a beautiful area. We are in love with this place and all this forest around.
How many bears you've met on the road during your stay there? I've seen around 14 in 2 days only! 4 of them were even crossing in front of our chalet. Was crazy!
What?? 14 is huge. I didnt see so many, on the road we saw two families with cubs and thats all. And here, to the resort, we saw at least one every night.
Sounds both exciting and scary at the same time. 😱🐻😅
That´s an amazing review of an amazing hotel! Not exactly a place for budget travelers like me but seeing all the fancy pictures and reading your positive experience, it seems to be totally worth every single cent of the price. And those views, wow! The balcony would be my favorite spot too hehe, especially if I could watch some bears from up there :) Stunning location. Enjoy your time over there my friend!

Thank youuu, such a lovely comment!
I tried to write a review, thats right but this is only my opinion, so I'm a but subjective. But what I do know is that, compared with other hotel, this is really nice.
Yes, the price is quite high. My pictures arent fancy, this place is. It gives you a feeling of comfort and relax, high level.
The balcony remained my favorite place here, I stayed today for one hour in the sun, reading a book. It was really unique seeing the bears from up high. And those werent the only bears we saw. That was one day but we saw another one next evening, and then next evening too...pretty much every night on those 4 nights we stayed in summer.
The place is knows for bears...
Thank you again for your comment, I appreciate it! I will enjoy my time here, thats for sure!
Grand Hotel Balvanyos, a perfect place for a disconnection from the daily activity, a perfect place to spend quality time with the whole family.
Even if the price is normal for the conditions offered, still this hotel is not affordable for everyone, that makes it different from the rest, it selects its clientele.
Enjoy your time there.
Yes, family time and frieds included! Maybe you'll come too one day and visit what is around. 😁
Yes, the price is high but if you book ahead or you chose some months of the year, I think the price go a little down.
Thanks 😍
The experience there and of course a few hikes can make for an unforgettable holiday (let's not forget the bears, hehe).
You never know when we'll get there, never say never.
Have a safe journey home.
Yeah, about the bears. Well, we wanted to visit a cave here yesterday and we walked for about 200 meters. There were already 4 5 signs saying "watch the bears. This is a zone with lots of bears". We didnt go anymore because we felt its not worth the risk...
We also went two years ago to Lake St. Anna and Tinovul Mohos, and then there were many warnings about bears.
Moreover, when we had already passed the halfway point when we visited Tinovul Mohos, the guide decided to turn back because there was a bear not far away.
I know. We didnt see bears on the road, thanks God. We were here last year too, early summer, and didnt see bears either. But the road from the parking to the lake felt a long road, especially we were with Caleb too.
We also found it extremely long the way to the lake, but it's worth it, from what I saw there is a car that does this route but only takes women with children, old people or something.
I would have been glad if they were a bit more organised with the lake access, by the way, on the way to the lake I saw some boards on which it was clear that one or more bears were playing with them and leaving teeth marks in them, hehe.
Yes, I was on that car. They took me in because I was with Caleb, 2.5 yrs old. And they also took Irina because we said she's been under surgery. But maybe they would have tke her in too because there was room for one more and outside a storm was already coming.
But yes, we thought the same way this year. A van would have been good for transporting al people who want it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for movement, but the trail to the lake can be tiring, and when you arrive at the lake tired from the trail you feel like you don't have the same appetite to enjoy the view.
With a little help from them with access to the lake you will definitely taste everything there differently.
I didnt get tired going down to the lake. At all. Like 0%.
I only got tired climbing up again 😁😅 but its worthed. Cardio is always good for our health.
Great view
It is!

I enjoyed reading, you did a perfect introduction to this outstanding hotel. Very beautifully written and with a gorgeous bunch of photos, I don't think those reading will be able to resist trying to go there too, of course, if they can afford it.
I really enjoyed reading your blog, @missdeli! In this time without vacations and travels, I felt a little bit of the pleasure of relaxing in a somewhat exclusive place.
Thank you so much, I appreciate your comment! I'm glad you enjoyed reading this. It is a very beautiful resort. And the nature around thiz place is very luxurious, with amazing forests.
I really hope you'll go in vacation in short! The truth is, nature and vacations are our eliberation from the day by day life.
I have been to Lake St Anne a long time ago and I know how beautiful it is. There are so many naturally beautiful places and I'm glad that quality hotels with quality service are starting to appear. If the road infrastructure will be the same then we will have quality tourism.
There will be a tough few months ahead for me and my immediate family, I hope we get through it. Then the holidays can start...
I really enjoyed your post... I am now telling you as others have told me and I didn't get upset, I took the positive side and ignored my ego. Namely that I see a very good evolution in the way you write, and how you compose your blogs and it is so good that you found exactly the niches that suit you: travel; children; cooking. Extremely generous topics that you master very well. I can only be glad, especially as I see and feel that you write with pleasure!
