FAIR RESORT HOTEL JENA

Our room was sparkling clean! Nice and cool as well considering the weather was very hot. The pool is beautiful and clean, lovely temperature, very refreshing. The drinks selection at the bar was good and not too expensive. We were there for a wedding and had an amazing time there.

There were no towels provided for the swimming pool (that we knew of). The dinner buffet was exceptionally expensive if you’re not all inclusive (€37!) and the nearest places to eat outside of the hotel you need to drive to. We were not fully informed about the inclusive parts of the hotel (as a non fully inclusive guest) sometimes we would order a drink at the bar and had to pay for it, other times we were instructed to use the beer/wine taps for the all inclusive guests. On returning to use the taps as previously instructed I was then told off for using them, and that they were only for inclusive guests after 6pm (I think?). Had instructions been clearer at check in we would have had a less confusing time, however I would still return as it’s a beautiful resort.

The staff was very friendly and the sport facilities are a big plus, even though I imagine they were built in the early 90s and not much renovated since. The rooms are relatively spartan, but with lots of wooden elements added, which I liked. There was a dinner buffet at 25 Euros, but I arrived 20 minutes before it closed at 21, and was offered to fill a large plate at 12 Euros which was a nice gesture and good deal. Breakfast was good. The hotel is located very close to the motorway, yet it is quiet, which makes it ideal for an overnight stay on the way by car to somewhere (otherwise it does not look like an area with lots of tourist attractions).

There were no towels (well, apart from two very small ones) in my room on arrival, and since I was told "housekeeping" had gone home for the day (this was around 20.30), I was given another room instead (which had towels) and which thus solved the problem, though in a bit of a convoluted manner. The reception closes at about 21.00. I imagine that there are arrangements for giving the key (there are real keys, not key cards for the rooms) to guests arriving later, but 21.00 is still a bit too early to close the reception in my view, should guests have some queries or requests.

Relaxation is the game here with all the sports you may need. If you go book B&B and in doing so you get the evening meal with all the food and all the beer and wine you will ever need for 25Eurs.

Both pools outside and inside not very warm.
