Grand Aygun Hotel

We stayed at Grand Aygun Hotel in August 2023. The bungalow was clean and very cosy, and the grounds were spacious and felt safe for kids. Our children, aged 6 and 8, loved playing in the garden on their own. The staff and general manager were very, very friendly. We'd definitely recommend this place.

The bungalows are quite nice, and the whole property is a garden. There's a humble kids' area, and the hotel seems to specialize in yoga, with three pretty good classes. Room service improved a lot in the last week, though it hadn't been available before. Food is mostly vegetarian and repetitive, but the tea is good and there's no coffee. The six WiFi networks are extremely annoying: the internet is mostly unstable and keeps disappearing, and you're lucky if it's only slow.

We've been to Grand Aygun before, and since last year the cooking has become poor and disappointing after a change of chef. Breakfast is passable, with salad, cottage cheese and greens, but dinners can be really sad: boiled beans, cold boiled cabbage, boiled carrots with yogurt, plain porridge, and oversalted soup with ingredients I couldn't identify. The fruit and sweets are low quality too. Even the mandarins falling from the trees are better. For the same price, other nearby places serve tasty hot dishes, varied soups, sauces, stuffed vegetables and even fresh juices. WiFi is weak, only good for occasional messages, and impossible for work, while nearby hotels have managed to offer enough speed. I measured 20mbps at a neighboring place. Prices at Grand Aygun are high. The rooms and staff are okay, but we'd like the food to be at least not disgusting.

The food left me with an upset stomach, and the owner made no effort to help. He came across as an obnoxious narcissist who cared about profit over guests. The rooms and kitchen were filthy. I won't stay there again.
