HOLIDAY2 HEVIS

in #writing5 years ago

We flew to Budapest and hired a car to drive 2 hours too Heviz. Now normally we always book up for the Lotus hotel this is a five star hotel with fantastic cure opportunities in their hotel. But it is a little bit out of the center and we wanted to try a hotel in the center.
So we get at the BONVITAL https://bonvital.accenthotels.com/en to find out that we booked the wrong date ! My job again!!!:-o Normally I am so good in organizing I never came cross something like this, I feld a shame and sad, but they could help us out and we got a room with a nice view

The next day was an other story they were full booked ! So we had to find an other hotel again.
That was shame because the bonvital is really right in the center, looking out over my balcony I saw all what was happening.
And the wellness area was beautiful, although the steam not hot enough, and a sauna to hot it was well over 120 degrees and that is just unhealthy, now I know customers do that there selves, but it also means there is a lack of controle! You need someone who points at, you do have to shower after the sauna before going in the pool and things like that... Things that I find in my job ever so important.

Also did we eat in the bistro of the hotel Brixx I think it was named, I just wanted something small so I ordered baby mussels in garlic
cream sauce. When I got it it was without kidding 26 shells with only 6 mussels in it! all the rest were empty when I said something of it, they answered with yes but it is only a starter... I said so as a starter you only get shells here? but they did not answer that... But it was the best place to be, the beds were good and breakfast was nice too. IMG_20190607_150811 (2).jpg

We had to look for an other place to stay and we got into the Palace hotel in the mainstreet of Heviz
https://palacehotelheviz.hu/en/
the only space they had for us was a family apartment, everything was a bit old and had once been very nice, ofcourse the hall and reception area were new and very descent. This is also a four star hotel, in the room we read that we could hire coffee and tea fascilities, but it was not standart in the room, because it was an apartment it had like a little kitchenette, but there were no pots or pans ! I asked how come the answer was you rent it as a room and not as an apartment. Stupid things like that !
But the balcony with its lovely view and the 100 dreds of little sparrows made up for it :-)

Going to the wellness area I discovered especially kids liked it here and the sauna part was to cry over ! I did not visit it anymore ! The bed was ridiculously small or better short we slept with our feet over the matras. :-) Breakfast was ok, we always found something nice, bt dinner !! it all looked it had been ate once before. crazy enough we slept really good there and had a few nice nights, in the day we did a lot of walking and offcourse we did visit the healty lake, where it feels like your body is pulled under water instead of floating !

Yes Heviz is known as being one of the most healthy places on earth. Be prepared for the smell because it always stinks a bit, you do get used to it very soon.
the lake it self is the biggest thermal lake of the whole world!
I think it is about 6000 years old because archeologists found pieces of roman things.
Heviz as a word means well of warm water, and that is what it is, it is a hot water pool with a continuesly refreshing of new vulcanic water, high on sulphers in a special percentage with oxygene. In time they put a roof over a part of the lake so people could also go inside to lay in the hot water, or cover there selves in the vulcanic mud. on the lake you can see differend variatons of water lilys.

I just love it, it just brings so much peace in your mind being there, you feel healthy by the smell and the water, your skin gets softer, and people are always kind. It, by the way, is the most visited place next to budapest in hungary, that on itself says much I think. It also is so modern, you can find big brands there so easy, there are no posh shops but it is just to find in between everything else. :-)

Yes I love Heviz !

But we had to go to Tiszafured because on the eleventh we had our appointment with the dentist...
