We stayed at Forest Park Resort for two nights with two small children.
The apartment itself made a very good impression on us — modern, fresh, and nicely decorated. It was also a nice surprise that the room was ready around 2:00 PM, even though the official check-in started at 4:00 PM. Traveling with children, we really appreciated that.
Unfortunately, the rest of the experience was more mixed. The water in the main pool seemed a bit cloudy, the kiddie pool was initially closed, and the water slide wasn't working due to a breakdown. We managed to use it later, but it was out of order again the next day.
We were also unhappy with the organization of dinner. Instead of in the main restaurant, we ate in a conference room in building no. 5. The decor and table setup felt more like a canteen or a training room than a restaurant in a hotel of this class. The selection of food itself was fine, but once a dish ran out, it wasn't replenished.
Fortunately, the restaurant manager turned out to be helpful. After our comment, she agreed that we could have our next meals in the main restaurant. It was much nicer there.
The children's playroom also didn't meet our expectations. In the photos, it looked bigger than it actually is, and during our visit, there was a lot of sand and dirt on the floor. The door opened frequently, letting in cold air, and guests brought sand inside on their shoes. With small children who crawl and put various things in their mouths, cleanliness in such a place should be especially important.
The Halloween attractions were quite loud — the music and children's screaming meant we couldn't stay there for more than a dozen minutes or so.
We also noticed a small but annoying detail in the apartment: the sauna door didn't have proper seals, which caused heat to escape quickly into the room.
To sum up, we really liked the apartment itself and its standard, and the restaurant staff knew how to react to the reported comments. However, during our stay, several important attractions were not working, the organization of meals needed improvement, and the cleanliness in the playroom left a lot to be desired. The resort has potential, but our experience was not as good as one would expect from a facility of this class. Perhaps we hit a bad moment.
