We visited in the 2nd week of January as a couple in our 30’s for 2 nights. After landing at 11am we had our bags in minutes! Went outside and asked a taxi how much to Aqua city, he said 15 with his fingers, I declined as I thought it was cheaper, next taxi I didn’t ask, just went with the meter, 5.60 euros!!! Arrival at Aqua city Seasons was seemless, easy check in and our room was ready early at 12 pm. We had emailed prior and requested a room away from the railway line. We got room 411, it was clean and tidy, had the usual amenities like mini bar and tea/coffee. There was a door onto the rooftop terrace where we could walk along and view the outdoor pool or mountains. We used the robes and went to the spa, from Seasons you can get the lift down, scan through a door and you appear in the aqua zone changing area, it took 2 minutes from room to the spa! The spa was pleasant, warm and dark, its takes some exploring as there are lots of corridors and hidden rooms and pools. The strong head, shoulder jets were great. Lots of nice saunas and steam rooms, one steam room was too hot to sit on the top level and boiling water dripped off the ceiling. Spa procedures – scan through, walk through the changing are to spa reception to get a bath sheet, return to small spa changing, undress and make your way into the spa areas. They say no textiles in the saunas and steam rooms due to materials degrading, you can wear costumes in the spa pools but many didn’t as you had to go and get changed again, there were quite a few naked bodies around in the pools and in the saunas and steam rooms, so what! We’ve been to German spas so were not phased at all. When in Rome and all that. Some people wore costumes in the saunas but just hid them by wrapping up in the sheet. It wasn’t very well policed. My wife had a sports back and indian head massage by a big slovakian man, best she's ever had! The large pool complex, outdoor pools and slides were all great fun. I got out and walked around in the snow in -15. The pools are all a bit spaced out and take some walking and finding with lots of turnstiles where you scan your wristband, the swim up bar was fun although the cocktails took a long time to make and only one girl serving, randomly people seemed to be getting free shots at certain times, we didn’t work that one out. the door to the 2 slides is in the outdoor pool entrance area by the lifeguard window. The evening laser show was a great addition, the place was full and a mass exit at the end. music, lasers, smoke etc. Due to this we got to dinner at 9pm to what was left. Not good but we were under no illusions as we had read reviews, we got by on some beef stew and potato wedges washed down with beer and wine. The small bar with pool tables and air hockey was ok for an hour, there was a ball missing but we made do, ask bar staff for cues and to turn on the air hockey. We got up early and had breakfast, usual continental meats and cheese, helped our selves to coffee and bacon/sausage/eggs/pancakes etc, all a bit over done but it filled us up. We booked a taxi to Tratska Lomnica to ski for the day as the receptionist said the bus was at 1030am on the number 4 purple route. That was too late in the morning so at 9.30 am, 18 euros and 25 minutes later we were in the ski area and ready! Reception had made up some tatry cards so we could get the ski bus back at 4.30pm for free. (simple form to fill out the night before) We did this and had a 26 seat bus to ourselves, and then we realized that there was a bus from the hotel at 8.30am on the number 3 yellow route that would have saved us the earlier taxi, I informed the receptionist and she apologized. Skiing was brilliant, rented skis, 22 euros each, got ski passes, a bit expensive at 33 euro each and hit the slopes. The piste cafes were great, lovely coffee, food and beer where the froth froze! We set off to get to the lomnica peak, turns out that the ski pass doesn’t cover it and you have to book separately, it was full for the day, we were very disappointed as that was something I was looking forward too. The webpage information wasn’t clear on this point. A beer and coffee in the humno pub after the slopes hit the spot and only a short walk from the ski area. 2nd evening we walked into the old town to go to a restaurant called Penzion Fortuna after reading a review. Again we had the place to ourselves on a Saturday night! The degustation menu of 9 courses for 40 euros looked amazing, unfortunately it was off as they were changing the menu, the food we had was really good, brilliant waitress and lovely Slovakian wines, something we were surprised about and have tried to source after returning home to no luck! The next morning, same breakfast scenario, check out simple and a taxi to Poprad airport. Not much to do at the airport but a small shop and bar serving drinks and coffee. Overall an amazing stay, everything exceeded expectations or was on form with reviews and research I had done. The staff were all helpful, the reception bar didn't have ameretto, no bother, the barman went and got some from another bar downstairs. We will definitely be back!!…
