Everything was superb! We tried both restaurants – the service and food were excellent! The grounds are well-maintained, and there are plenty of activities and accommodation options available. You can tell they poured their heart into this place.
The glamping tents are perfect for visiting the Charyn Canyon (Valley of Castles). They're right by the visitor centre at the entrance gate, 10km down the road from the turn off the highway. Guides there also offered us an exclusive canyon hike. Tent itself was great for two of us - two beds, heater, light, and the view is amazing. It was occasionally a little noisy when the wind got really high. The tent doesn't have a bathroom - you have to walk a few minutes to the visitor centre. Regardless, it's one of the best places to stay to visit the Canyon.
Decent. The room was spacious and the linen clean. It's a 20-minute taxi ride from the airport. Buses to the city center are available right outside the hotel. On the downside, we had to let the water run for a long time to get hot water, and the cleanliness of the windows and hard-to-reach areas in the room left much to be desired. For breakfast, there was rice porridge, biscuits, bread, and sausages, but we might have arrived late and missed some items. The reception desk was often unattended, but you could call someone from the backroom downstairs. They didn't speak English at reception, and only a little Russian, but we managed to communicate. Overall, it's not a bad option for an overnight stay between flights.
If you're planning to stay here, make sure to contact the accommodation about their shuttle service right after booking. The road to the property is a dangerous single-lane dirt track up a hill, especially for tourists who aren't used to driving in such conditions. On the other hand, the property itself is beautiful with truly stunning views. It has all the amenities you could need, but the one downside is that the internet is incredibly slow and practically unusable. One staff member, who I believe was named Yerso, spoke English well and was very helpful. However, the rest of the staff weren't particularly friendly towards foreigners.
