Villa Ula

Ośrodek Wczasowy Flauta

Bagińscy Spa

"Stayed here with an extended family for 4 days in early January. We had a rather spacious room on 2nd floor with a view of the forest and of other buildings within the complex. The location is a bit away from the town centre, but still very walkable, i.e. 10-15 mins walk to grocery stores, few minutes to the beach etc. Since we visited in January, most restaurants and shops in town were closed for the season. The hotel has some amenities like a small pool, jacuzzi, a steam sauna and not-so-great infrared sauna. If you timed it well, you could enjoy these in more quiet times throughout the day. We also managed to book their massage therapy which was really good; the therapist was very knowledgeable and made sure he finds all the knots/areas that needed dealing with. The staff were pleasant, the whole place was kept clean, and we only had some very noisy neighbours for a night or two, which was manageable. The two downsides that we noticed were: 1. lacking gym facilities (the gym is small and has almost no equipment, except for two large treadmills. Lack of basic pilates or strength equipment, especially with so many seniors visiting who could take advantage of it, makes this gym completely pointless and useless if I’m honest. I.e. who chooses to walk on a treadmill if they can walk outside on a stunning beach…); and 2. Food options. Despite advertising that they can cater to all dietary needs, they were having major issues following simple instructions even when pointed out. As a vegetarian, and despite pre-ordering vegetarian meals, I was served not once, but twice, dinners that didn’t follow my diet, i.e. soup with chunks of sausage in it, and also fish the next day. We had to complain and remind them every night that meat and fish cannot be served with what we ordered. The breakfasts and suppers were served in a buffet format, and, again, as a vegetarian, I found them very lacking. I.e. I frequently couldn’t eat much because eggs were always served with meat, and the ‘warm buffet’ options were always meat dishes. I could only eat bread, dairy and sometimes some veggies if available. If I was a vegan, I would starve here. I am not sure how they follow health-driven diets such as for diabetic or folks with gut or heart problems etc, but I wouldn’t trust their knowledge or care; the food was very fatty and heavy. I did enjoy all the raw salads they served with their dinners, though, and it was frequently all I could eat with my potatoes for dinner, despite ordering ‘special vegetarian meals’. Even my carnivore family was appalled by what the kitchen kept serving me. All in all, we found this little vacation relaxing enough and the hotel to be rather adequate. I would not however recommend it to anyone with specific dietary needs."
