Kaçkar Mountains National Park

The facial and spa was too expensive . Pay less outside the hotel

Went 1st March. Magnificent pool closed for 2 weeks to prep for summer. This wouldn’t have been too bad except the place was full of young/teenage German football teams who then crowded out the only other (not freezing cold) pool that you could swim in! This winding down also affected the non buffet restaurants- ie only buffet restaurant open most times. Avoid this place out of season!

The Cornelia Diamond is a beautiful resort. Liked: - Amazing kids’ facilities, they even have their own amphitheatre for mini-disco and clown shows. Their own water park etc.. Really top notch on this. - Great beach with no concerns getting a sunbed. Well-staffed with lifeguards etc.. No drinks service to your sunbed though. For such an exclusive hotel you might expect this. - Great evening shows. I mean they have really bought in the best. Shout out to the Shamen dance group who were amazing!! All shows very loud though Could be improved: - Had to pay extra for golf. Even had to pay for drinks at the golf club (Ultra all-inclusive? I think not). Golf course is not well maintained, full of weeds even across the tee-boxes. Greens were well kept I will say - a la carte is pricey at €25 per head (free for under 7). It is not a la carte, it is table-service at best. Poor table etiquette. They need to train their staff better - No free a la carte, not even one per week - Diamond restaurant in large with lots of food but with zero variety to that food and no theme nights. So unless you pay for the above 'table-service' you'll be eating the same thing everyday - Entertainment we felt was late. Mini disco doesn't start until 08:45, with the main show at 21:45 - Room service is a little too full on. You should expect x4 visits a day. Room clean, mini-bar refill, fruit delivery, and towel change - Generally, the hotel needs work, they are painting over the cracks
