Almost everything that is published in the description of the hotel is true. The hotel is good for both families with children and couples / singles. A pretty good SPA complex with a bunch of pools for every taste, a couple of saunas and the opportunity to swim in the open air (not always and everywhere you will find this). A decent restaurant with normal food, although it has its pros and cons.
We went for the weekend, three adults, booked a studio room, but since they were no longer available, we were offered a promenade building. They did not regret it - the room has everything you need, it is relatively spacious, but they did not beat their feet on the bed and furniture, the son slept in a nook, which was separated from the main part of the room by a sliding door. This nook can accommodate two - in addition to the sofa, there is also an upper shelf, like in a train, and a ladder to climb onto this shelf. A small balcony with a table with an ashtray and two iron chairs. The view, however, was not very good - on a new building under construction. But, in general, we did not come to admire the view from the balcony. The bathroom is more spacious than I expected - a washbasin, a hairdryer, a toilet, a hygienic shower connection, and a shower area with plastic doors. You can not take shower gel with you - dispensers hang on the wall. The room offers body and hair conditioners according to the number of persons. We had for some reason for 2 persons. Bath towels, face towels and bathrobes. There were no slippers. In addition to the beds, the room had a wardrobe, bedside tables, a coffee table, a desk with a built-in mini-bar (we used it as a refrigerator), an LCD TV on the wall. Wi-Fi is free.
The hotel is located away from civilization. The center of Imatra can be reached by bus number 3 - the price of a trip is 3.8 euros one way per person, or by taxi about 17 euros per car. There are no shops nearby.

In addition to the SPA center, you can take a walk along the lake (in hot weather, two beaches are waiting for you), organize barbecues, visit the gym and play bowling. The latter is not included in the price, so for a fee. The prices are as follows - up to 19 hours the price of 1 hour of playing on one track is 16 euros. After 7 p. m. there is neon lighting, and the price rises to 23 euros. The bowling bar is very expensive.
Dinner was not included in the tour price, so we paid extra for it. It cost us 22 euros per person, but on weekdays dinner cost 19 euros. What it was connected with is not clear, because it is somehow not relevant for the Finns to celebrate Victory Day, but according to the program, dinner on May 10 would cost 26 euros, and lunch on May 11 as much as 34 euros. Even 22 euros does not match the price-quality. My son left dinner almost hungry.
The breakfast selection was quite sufficient. Cunning fellow citizens strenuously guarded when the watermelon would be brought. There were a lot of people and the waiters could not cope with the influx. In fact, there was no free table cleaned in time. Especially "killed" the queues for tea. And small children 3-4 years old, getting underfoot, sent by their parents to get food on their own, so as not to interfere with them (the parents) to eat their breakfast.
If it were not for the need to open a visa with a stay of at least two days, I would not go to this or any other hotel in the country of Suomi. You can just relax in the Leningrad region, with chic spa complexes, you just need to know the places. Go shopping in one day. In this country, a good rest with a rich excursion program. For example, like in autumn our visit to Savonlinna and Kerimyaki plus the Novovalam Monastery.
