Hotel Engel Obertal – Wellness & Genuss Resort

傳統五星級酒店，體驗尚可。本地熱門度假酒店，入住時為當地法定節日，住客非常多，停車場全部停滿，泳池和陽光區同樣。

This was our first stay in a wellness hotel in Germany and I wasn't expecting half of what we found. The hotel itself is beautiful, a bit of a mix between old style German and modern. We opted for an older room rather than the various newer rooms or chalets and the room was absolutely fine. Spacious, very clean and a fridge. The only thing is, it doesn't have AC which was slightly difficult in 32 degree heat at night. The location is stunning, lots of walks around. We drove 30minutes to Klosterle Shleifer which was stunning. The attention to detail in the hotel also is quite impressive. The breakfast is one of the best I have had outside Asia, very healthy options (the paleo cranberry bread was wonderful), and sparkling wine (not so healthy). We tried lunch once, we hadn't realised this was included (they have two plans, the basic includes breakfast and lunch and another plan which includes dinner). We didn't actually eat dinner at the hotel although I wish we had (I think it was 65€ each). The whole setting is wonderful, with 4 swimming pools, lots of sunbeds, sauna and fitness pavilion (this was mostly cardio machines and lacked more free weights, which would be my only criticism). The staff were also truly wonderful, incredibly friendly. The demographic of guests changed during our stay from more mature in the week to younger couples at the weekend and a few young families. We will hopefully be back soon. One bit of advice, if you plan on doing a bike ride based on their routes, I'd advise taking an e-bike. The standard bikes aren't very robust and it's very hilly!

We had a comfortable stay here. Very quiet though, not much around.
