Day 10-11:
Wow, I have definitely fallen in love with this country. We just spent the last few days in Presov literally surrounded by nature. This hotel, The Grand Hotel Stary Smokovec, really is all it was made out to be when we researched its reviews online upon booking. I am currently sitting at one of the many tables set up around the resort and I am completely surrounded by nature. Let me walk you through what the past few days have been like for us. We first arrived into town and were dropped off in its center where the train station is located. This city is also located at the foot of the mountains so we immediately found the shuttle service the hotel offers to bring us up to our resort area. The ride up brought us further away from the city life and civilization and we entered a hidden resort area for travelers to spend a relaxing time. The hotel is known for accommodating to nature lovers and I can stand by this fact 100%. The hotel's focus is on everything natural, and it uses everything this landscape and area has to offer.
Our days were spent in complete comfort among the lush greenery. We spent a few hours hiking around the resort area the first day. The trails are marked up for which ones are easier as opposed to the trails for experienced hikers. We chose to stick to the easier trails and had a great time along the mountain ranges and discovering wildlife. Yet another amazing feature of this hotel is it's spa area. We took full advantage of this, especially after our hike and spent time in the hot spring as well as the steam room. Massages are available as well, amongst other beauty treatments. We will definitely be returning here for a relaxing getaway as soon as we can!
