Posthotel Achenkirch Resort and Spa - Adults Only

For many , many years our favorite hotel for a perfect holday . This year we were surprises on our 35 wedding anniversary ! The Spa and wellness facilities are great , but the hotel has many other facilities to make your stay unique . Till next year !..

To start with, Posthotel Achenkirch is an amazing place, location wise and facility wise. It defines itself as SPA hotel and designed for relaxation. Its water & sauna worlds together with its diverse SPA combined with country and mountains views provide a full framework for relaxation. It is located 1.5-hour drive from Munich airport (north Tyrol area) in the North of the Tyrol area very close to the Achensee, one of Tyrol’s famous lakes. If you arrive during the day, you will get a tour of the resort, and it is worthwhile and important as there are many places in this resort worth experiencing. This is adults only resort and suited for us in that respect as we came for one week vacation. The resort has many types of rooms, so it is important in advanced to understand what room you are getting and where it is located as the resort is big. We made our reservations via booking and it went well although the names of the room are not identical. We took the Sonnberg Studio room. It is a very big and comfortable room (like a mini-suite) although old in terms of furniture. This is one of the rooms with mountain view which makes the stay even better. A king size bed and a lot of space to move in, I liked the separate blankets which were not staffed into the bed – well done. One of the disadvantage of this room is the lack of enough sockets for electricity and in a better location. Obviously, free WiFi (as it is standard today in all hotels of this level). Bathroom (both bath and shower) is big and very comfortable. Breakfast was very good and rich with many vegetables variety, same for cheese, sausages and pastries and with very high awareness to lactose free and gluten free. A special room only for fresh juices of oranges, carrot or any other fruit you can think of and in addition big variety of amazing bread types. One of their morning specialties is the huge amount of tea variety although you can also get any coffee you like. To summarize, breakfast is great. If you are under the B&B arrangement you can enjoy the lunch free light (healthy bistro) they have in another place of the resort. Dinner is a ceremony by itself as it has two options on a daily basis. A la Cart or Buffe. Dishes are mixed but mostly designed like in a chef restaurant. It is quite unique to hotels. Dinner is expensive. We chose one evening to go out to one of the restaurants offered in Achenkirch which was nice and much cheaper. Nice concept is the fixed table. When you arrive first time to the dining hall you get a table that stays with you for all your stay. It is nice in respect of getting knowing better you waiters, and them knowing you. Make sure you get a table you like 😊 Obviously, a big lobby area with a very nice Bar to spend the evenings (in addition to local guests music entertainment) The resort has, on a daily basis, a set of activities organized by the hotel staff all around sport, wellness and relaxation. That is in addition to the world of water and Saun

The hotel is located close to stunning Achensee. A lot of possibilities for outdoor activities. Extremely cozy room with comfortable beds, pillows, sheets. Delicious meals. Large SPA area with good choice of saunas, pools, relaxation rooms.

We were a group of 4 adult family members and we had an excellent time at the Posthotel. The staff were warm and welcoming and. nothing was too much trouble. The food is excellent and there are lots of menu choices for people on vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diets. The waterworld and sauna domains are well planned and extremely clean. There is reasonably good ski-ing close by that is within walking distance. The hotel offers a reduced rate for a daily ski-pass and we bought our passes from the hotel. Unfortunately, we did not realise that there was a reduction for a 3 day pass at the ski centre so it would be better to buy a multiple day ski-pass at the ski-centre.

I have to admit that we were quite surprised. At first glance, the hotel seems mismatched in style, but you soon understand why. It was built over many years, so you can see what was trendy in the past and what is trendy today – and that’s exactly what gives it its unique atmosphere. It is owned by a family that takes care of it and strives to create the best environment for their guests. You will fall in love with the hotel, just as you will with the first-class service.

As a whole, the experience was okay, but really not a 5-star service. The price-quality realtionship is not there. We had way better experiences in 4-star hotels... Details: -The staff at the reception is not very efficient (issues with the Achensee Guest Card, long check-in process) + no ski shuttle? the hotel has a shuttle-bus, but they do not vehicle their guests to the ski station - it's 5 min drive... -Pool & Spa: the pools are not hot enough for winter, the best jaccuzzi is "textil-free" only, that's sad ! the jaccuzzi inside is old and cold. The classic zone (with textil) is too old compared to textil-free... -Massage: it was great, but it's not warm enough in the room + the music is not calm + the light was full on, you cannot really relax. -Bar: the bartenders are not really friendly. One night we asked for a homemade lemonade - we were told "okay but not tomorrow because we will be too busy"... -Restaurant: the food was good, only the salad bar at night is a little sad - nothing really seasoned, only raw veggies... The service one night was totally off (we waited 40min for the main course) - no real excuses from the kitchen, a waiter just came with Schnaps as an apology, but was really aggressive. -Room: the office table in the room does not fit with the "mountain mood", the bathroom is a little "altmodisch", the shower tap is broken...
