I had a pretty good time at the Retro Riverside Wellness Resort, though there were a few bumps along the way. The spa and wellness facilities were great, and the location beside the river was stunning. However, I had a less-than-ideal experience with the check-in process, and the dining options could use some serious upgrades. Overall, the charm and views made up for some shortcomings, but there's room for improvement.

My stay at Retro Riverside Wellness Resort was an enjoyable experience overall, but there were definitely some points that could use improvement. The staff's kindness and attention to detail really stood out, making my stay feel personalized. However, the pillows were simply inadequate for a 5-star hotel, and it would've been nice to have more options on the dining menu. The tranquil location and lovely spa facilities made it a good escape from the hustle of Karlovy Vary, though traveling to the city center wasn't the easiest.

Nestled by an artificial lake, the location was perfect for a peaceful getaway, about 6km from Karlovy Vary. Although lovely for relaxation, the road into the city wasn't safe for walking, so I relied on taxis.

The spa facilities were a highlight, providing a range of saunas, a pool, and relaxation spaces. However, the limited availability of spa staff sometimes led to longer wait times for treatments.
