First Impressions

Honestly, APLEND Wellness Hotel Borovica caught me off guard in the best way possible. I mean, I’ve stayed at plenty of mountain hotels, but this four-star place in Štrbské Pleso actually delivers on its wellness promise without feeling pretentious about it. The moment you walk in, there’s this calm energy that makes you slow down — which is exactly what you want after driving up those winding mountain roads.

Location & Setting

You know what’s brilliant about this spot? It’s right at Štrbské Pleso, which means you’re literally steps away from one of Slovakia’s most stunning alpine lakes. I watched sunrise over the water from my room, and it was one of those moments where you actually put your phone down. The High Tatras surround you completely, so whether you’re into hiking or just want dramatic views while sipping coffee, you’re sorted.

The Wellness Experience

The spa here is where they really shine — I spent way more time there than I planned. They’ve got this indoor pool that flows seamlessly to an outdoor section, so you can swim outside even when it’s chilly (trust me on this one). The saunas are proper Finnish-style, and there’s enough variety that you won’t get bored. What I appreciated most was that it never felt crowded, even during peak times.

Dining & Comfort

The main restaurant serves Slovak cuisine with a modern twist, and they actually know how to cook game properly — which matters when you’re in hunting country. Breakfast was generous without being overwhelming, with local cheeses and honey that reminded you exactly where you are. My room was spacious and quiet, with mountain views that made me linger by the window longer than necessary each morning.

Why Guests Love It

Here’s the thing — this place gets the balance right between being polished and feeling authentic. The staff genuinely seem to care about your experience rather than just going through the motions. Plus, parking is included, which saves you hassle and money (mountain resort parking can be brutal elsewhere). Whether you’re planning active mountain days or just want to unwind completely, APLEND Wellness Hotel Borovica works because it doesn’t try to be everything to everyone — it just does the mountain wellness thing really, really well.

What could be improved: The mattress is more of a hard kind, but comfy. The outdoor jacuzzi is too expensive.

The breakfast was very nice. Room was cozy and bed was super comfortable. Unfortunately the spa wasn’t as good, because the water seemed colder than it should have been and there were families with children occupying the only jacuzzi for the whole time we were in the spa. The hotel bar is nice and staff is great. Location is perfect for hiking in the Vysoke Tatry mountains.

What could be improved: Takes a long time for the hot water to come.
