I've stayed at Hotel Caramell with my boyfriend. We had "Honeymoon a la Caramell" package and stayed there for 7 wonderful days. First of all, the hotel itself is beautifully positioned. It's all about having sunlight all day. The building is in the middle of fields, beside the road. Everywhere you look you can see fields and hills in the distance. The only sound you can hear is the sound of birds. Even inside, you can enjoy mild sunrays on your face in spacious dining room during the breakfast or you can enjoy golden twilight in the dining area during the dinner time. All in all, dinning room is so bright and with big panoramic windows, so you can enjoy the view (cornfileds).
The rooms are OK. We had a standard room which was moderately furnished, spacious, very clean and with big balcony. The interior is beautifully decorated with the strange but pleasant mix of oriental and zen details. However, if someone expects luxury, this is a wrong hotel. There is no need for luxury here because the real gem in this hotel are the therapists, masseurs and treatments. The two of us have had 6 or 7 different treatments altogether. I've tried reiki, tibetan therapy, chinese massage, relax massage, aroma bath... I can' say which was better. I had alergy problem before I came to Hungary and it was gone after these treatments.This is the right place for you if you want relaxation and pampering but it is the right place for the ones who wish serious energetic, auric and chakra treatments also. The staff is so attentive, friendly and nice so you will easily overcome any possible gap in communication due to their basic english. But they speak german fluently.
The food was good. The dinner was always superb, with variety of different dishes, for meat-lovers and vegetable-lovers, with salads and deserts. The lunch is in so-so area, I had the impression that the cook was improvising lunch out of leftovers. It is all tasty but a little bit bland. Breakfast was OK, always the same but OK. Maybe I'm little bit spoiled by turkish and egyptian hotel buffets, in sense that there are always at least 15 different dishes for breakfast and dinner. Here, every morning you'll have eggs, bread, butter, honey, cereals and salami. No surprises.
The pool area is nice, with two small pools and saunas. You can't swim in those pools, you can hang around there and enjoy the warm water.
All in all, we had peaceful, wonderful vacation, full of walks and bicycle rides, treatments, good sleep and relaxation of every kind. You can' t be stressed there anyway because you get to listen to the quiet meditation music all day when you're in hotel. My only complaint is the pool, which is too small for swimming, and fitness excersises(tai-chi, stretching,yoga...) that are a little bit... Touristy.The class lasts only 30 minutes, so you can imagine that there is not much you can do in that time. If you want real recreation, better rent a bike or take a stroll across the hills. Ideal for couples.
