Resort EuroPark Fundata

I stayed here only 2 nights. the place itself is beautiful overlooking the mountain . Place was clean and vey comfortable. breakfast is very good and so is dinner. Now for the negative no receptionist to welcome you. If you go late you stay outside. Too many bus loads of hikers stay there and they are catered to 1st Since i did not get a paper of when to check out i did not know. If you want to stay an extra day and pay they will not accommodate. They open pool at 11:00a when people check out!!! so nobody uses as it closes 8:00p at night. So after a tiring day at the castles pool is closed. They must get more staff and they should be more nicer to the solo travelers not just the bus loads.

I stayed here for 2 days and the check-in procedure was smooth, the lady at the counter really friendly. Was kind of surprised when I noticed that there's a form of ~ 8 pages to be read before checking in (which had a lot of warnings and conditions). The rooms are on the old side, it was probably created/renovated some 5-10 years ago but now it looks pretty bad, the bed mattresses are springy, the furniture in the rooms quite beaten, even some power plugs which are broken. The bathroom was alright, it included a window as well. Hot water wasn't a problem, room was warm enough. Now, given that this is a "resort" I decided to try the amenities in the first day, which by the way, are not included in the room price. Bad choice, the pool is quite small and also full of chlorine which immediately irritated my throat and eyes, couldn't really swim that much. Cannot comment on the jacuzzi and the sauna, they were both closed although included in the fee that I paid for 1 access (35 lei). The restaurant is another story. The included breakfast is your typical buffet, pretty decent but quite tight (only served 8-10). The a-la-carte side of it (which you have to visit 2 times a day, for lunch and dinner) had quite under par food and pretty expensive as well for what it offered. I am normally willing to try a lot of different stuff and I did here too - was only pleasantly surprised by the "pork wing" dish, the others I tried (pasta, papricas, sheep pastrami, chcicken schnizel and so forth) were well below par not to mention that the cooks are really rigid - you cannot order a main course with a switched side dish or even a side dish separately, you are forced to order a full meal even though you may only want to try something small. This, of course, given that you have no choice there, there's only one restaurant and according to the rules, you are not allowed to eat anything else on the public premises. A friend has arrived to have a drink with us one night (didn't stay more than 1 hour) and I was surprised when he told me that his wife (who remained in the camper van that they arrived with) was scared by 3 resort employees and threatened, only when she warned with calling the police was left alone. Overall I would say it's pretty overrated, very expensive for what it offers and probably there are better choices around the area.

Beautiful location and very friendly staff,food excellent
