    Nagyon finom és bőséges volt a reggeli, extra minőségben. A bringa kölcsönzés szuper, jók a bringák, aznap már azzal mentünk le a tóhoz, és természetesen vissza is. A "játékterem" is nagyszerű kikapcsolódás.

Company information

We moved from the capital, Budapest to the countryside and have started Palos Resort in 2013. The city was too crowded, nervous and noisy for us, we wanted to be able to work and live in a quiet and green neighborhood. We tried to implement all our expectations as guests before into Palos Resort, and try to avoid traditional "tourism-business" solutions. We grow our own vegetables, we make our own jams, and we bake the fresh bakerys for our guests every morning.

Property information

Palos Resort was built in a traditional style, yet the house is modern, the beds are extra comfortable with quality matresses, our guests love the quality of sleeps they experience here! The uniqueness of Palos Resort lies in it's location: we are not on the main row, not in the center, yet we are close to all the major attractions. Central Europe"s biggest golf course is 5 minutes from us with an excelllent fine dining restaurant. The biggest natural thermal lake in Europe (Hévíz) is 10 minutes from us. There are 6 other bathing complexes, aquaparks in our neigbourhood within maximum 25 minutes drive from us. New attraction in 2019 is our own deer-farm. The best way to peak at them is staying at our new Safari Lodge (3 bedroom villa), which has two spacious terracces facing the huge forest and the habitat of our deer. Pálos Resort is the home of quality cultural programs, in 2018 Grammy Award winner Al Di Meola was our guest, in 2019 the Italian king of soul music, Mario Biondi performed in our garden. In 2018 Pálos Resort won the Best Ethno Hotel Award at the International Hospitality Awards.

Neighbourhood information

We are in a quiet and safe neighborhood, near the forest between hills in a small valley. There is pratically no traffic, but everything is in 10 minutes range by car: shops, services, doctor, hospital, swimming/bathing complexes, cinema. We have our own kitchen but 5 minutes walk from us (200 m) there is a unique gem, a restaurant selected and suggested by Gault&Millau, one of it's kind in the neigborhood. There are at least 15 other resaturants to choose from in the neighborhood, within 10 minutes drive. We have our own minibus, we can provide transfer services as well. We have our own playground, a mini soccer field, a giant sand "box" and a 4 m wide trampoline in our garden, facing the forest.
