Pros:

Let's rate the experience

Reception - 5/5
Room - 5/5
Bar staff - 5/5
Spa - 5/5

Now...

Food Quality - 1/5 - very poor food, please eat outside the hotel
Restaurant Staff - 0/5 - rude, unhelpful and no willingness to actually serve

Bar Timings - 1/5. After 10pm you cannot even get a coke, let alone a beer

Hotel Policies - 0/5. I can understand that your card machines are out but at least let guests run a tab to pay cash at the end.

You are a thermal resort with 25 pools. I had to carry cash in every pool and try to keep it dry to pay for any beverage. Very ridiculous!

Pros:

We were told we could only use cash and not credit cards because the processor was not working. We later found out from staff members that the real reason is because of a family dispute. Blatant lie

Pros:

I booked Baldi Resort expecting a luxury 5-star experience, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment. First off, the Wi-Fi was completely useless. In today’s world, especially at a resort marketed as high-end, reliable internet should be a given – not a constant headache.

But the worst part? Anyone can enter the property for just $60. That means the pools and facilities are overrun with people, making it feel more like a crowded public water park than an exclusive resort. There's zero sense of privacy or comfort.

I ended up checking out early due to the chaos and poor connectivity, but when I asked for a refund because of the inconvenience, they flat-out refused. No accountability, no attempt to make things right.

Baldi Resort is falsely advertised. It’s NOT a 5-star experience – in fact, it’s not even close. Save your money and your sanity – stay somewhere else.

Pros:

I have stayed at this hotel 3 times before this stay.
My experiences have always been 100 % and I have recommended this place many of time to US citizens that have actual stayed here. This visit unfortunately was not as enjoyable as the previous.
The front desk staff was a little less welcoming, the credit card machines didn’t work, and the bartenders didn’t really make us feel like they wanted to be there.
The only time I felt pampered or taken care of was when I got a massage at the spa. The girls that work there were so accommodating and very friendly.
