Top Rauha Hotel Reviews

Holiday Club Saimaan Rauha

Holiday Club Saimaan Rauha

8/10 Good
"A GREAT spa with fun saunas and indoor waterpark for kids and adults to enjoy. Clean room and a convenient kiosk store inside the hotel for anything you may need. AVOID the (likely mediocre food and) HORRIBLE service at their O'Learys pub restaurant. No one was managing the place and the poor girls (likely summer interns) had no idea of how to serve people. Tens of drinks sat on the bar with no one coming to pick them up and serve them. They kept a long line outside the restaurant while all of us could clearly see that 80% of their tables were empty! PLEASE get someone with experience to manage the seating and overall speed of service; we stood in line for a half hour and eventually left angry and hungry. Why ruin the whole spa experience for one lousily managed pub? Shame on you, management...get your act together in case you want to avoid more scathing reviews. In contrast, the pizza restaurant above them had no issues and quick, friendly service."

"Our stay was okay. The hotel room wasn’t bad, the sink was just dirty at the base. They set up a sofa bed even though we had an infant and needed to set up our playpen. But we could have asked them to take it down after check in. The breakfast wasn’t bad, they had a lot of food. Just busy and expensive. We liked the resort itself and the cafe on the beach. Our biggest complaint is the misinformation on the Expedia website. It says there are 4 pools, 1 outdoor pool, and 1 whirlpool. We assumed these were free because it didn’t say anything was extra. However, it was 27€ per person for one day. We opted not to pay that and use the beach instead. They need to clarify this on their Expedia."
