Fantastic Cabin Experience

I had the pleasure of staying in a Deluxe Spa Cabin, and it was absolutely fantastic! The cabin was spacious and modern, with a fully equipped kitchen that made cooking meals a breeze. The comfortable queen bed and the cozy living area added to the home-away-from-home feel. Plus, having a heating/cooling system and TV in the main bedroom was a nice touch that made my stay even more enjoyable.

Refreshing Pool Experience

The indoor heated pool was a highlight of my stay. It's great how it ranges from one meter to 1.4 meters in depth, making it perfect for both relaxation and a bit of fun. I appreciated being able to unwind in the pool despite the cool weather outside. It was a clean and refreshing area to enjoy some leisure time.

Great Café Option

I really enjoyed my mornings at the café located at the front of the park. They offered a good breakfast selection, and the coffee was excellent! It was the perfect way to start my day before heading out to explore the area. The convenience of having it right there in the park made it even more enjoyable!

Fun for Kids

During my stay, I noticed the playground was a hit with kids. Even though I was there without children, it was great to see families enjoying the outdoor space. The area offered a friendly vibe and was perfect for kids to run around and have fun. It definitely added to the family-friendly atmosphere of the park.

The stay at Discover Parks Belmont was a mixed experience for us. The cabin was clean and well laid out, which we appreciated. However, there were some significant downsides, including a disappointing recreation room that seemed unsafe and not properly maintained. Additionally, the unfriendly grounds staff affected our overall experience. If you're looking for a quick stop, it might work, but for a longer stay, I would explore other options.

We had a nice stay in a cabin that suited our family's needs, but I was a bit taken aback by the lack of towel changes during our visit. The cabin was well-equipped, and it was great to enjoy the lovely river stroll, but the maintenance could use a bit of attention. Overall, it's a good spot with all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay.

I had a wonderful stay in a deluxe spa cabin at the park. The staff was welcoming, and my cabin was modern and well-equipped, making it a perfect retreat after a long day. However, the amenities could use some improvement, especially for families looking for entertainment. Overall, it's a great spot for a short visit but might not be suited for longer family vacations.
