Ensana Esplanade

Must go to the most of people. Those, suffering of medical conditions will get outstanding treatments, those lucky who around age of 50 have no medical issues (show me one) - will get tranquility and recharge their batteries. Immunity booster program is also available. Delicious healthy dining. Mostly Slavic-East European cuisine, so bring your bottle of red hot chilly pepper. Rooms are spacious, huge balcony, picturesque view. Only the landscape and atmosphere of this idyllic place would make one healthy!!! Generally - service is 4+. Clientele: Slovaks (paid by the state), Russian speaking from all over the world, Arabs from Emirates and Saudi Arabia, various German speaking, and all others. This is NOT a vacation, this's an intensive treatment program. Free time (for shopping, seeing around etc.) on Sundays only. Though quite cheap shopping IS available. Flight - to Vienne, and then transfer - 1h. 40 min. no flights to Bratislava. Bottom line - have already booked my next visit!!!

This was my fourth visit to Hotel Esplanade. I visit Piestany to see my dentist but I love the great standard of treatment here. The therapists are excellent - but for UK visitors you must realize that they are therapists. This is not Champneys. The food is perfectly good and the wine/drinks are very good value. I found the staff wonderfully kind and helpful - when I was having treatment they ensured I had food when I needed it to fit in with my treatment. All the staff were helpful and kind - I was particularly grateful for the 0330 call. One can't always rely on getting the call in other hotels. It is also excellent value. I loved having a room with a balcony - even in January it was lovely to be able to sit outside with my coffee in the morning.
