noi Resort & Spa

Located on the shores of Lake Rożnowskie, in the village of Znamirowice, the noi Resort & Spa has been a popular choice for those seeking a modern holiday surrounded by nature since its opening. Its architecture, combining extensive glass, wood, and steel, was designed to harmoniously complement the forest landscape and panoramic views of the water. This destination aspires to luxury, offering a wide range of services, from comfortable accommodations to an extensive spa area and a highly regarded restaurant. However, as with many new developments, guest reviews paint a picture of a facility with enormous potential, yet not without its shortcomings.

Holiday rooms and apartments – comfort with a view

Guests can choose from a variety of accommodation options, including double rooms, four- and six-person cottages, and apartments. All accommodations are air-conditioned and equipped with a TV, refrigerator, kettle, and private bathroom with toiletries and towels. Cottages also feature kitchenettes and spacious, glass-enclosed terraces, allowing guests to enjoy the natural surroundings. Reviews often praise the cleanliness, spaciousness, and modern, tasteful interior design. Guests appreciate the comfortable beds and sofas, and—the biggest advantage—the spectacular lake views that can be enjoyed from most rooms . A practical feature that has been highlighted is the separate dressing room in some rooms.

However, potential clients should be aware of a few issues. One guest mentioned a very small bathroom in the room, which may be an inconvenience for some. Another drawback noted is the windows that can only be tilted, limiting the ability to fully open and enjoy fresh air. Furthermore, the heating system, which relies on heating mats and air conditioning, can be difficult to regulate and can dry out the air in the rooms. Despite these minor complaints, the overall experience in the offered holiday apartments and rooms is very positive.

A restaurant with a view of the lake – a culinary journey through the region

The restaurant at noi Resort is one of the facility's strongest points, consistently praised in almost every review. Its philosophy is based on returning to its roots and using local, seasonal produce from small, regional suppliers. The chef draws inspiration from the flavors of the Sądecczyzna region and the Rożnów Foothills, giving old recipes a modern flair. Guests delight in the quality of the dishes, their freshness, flavor, and beautiful presentation. The menu includes both fish and meat dishes, as well as interesting vegetarian options. A nice touch, appreciated by visitors, is the "waitings" served before meals. Both breakfasts, served buffet-style or served, and a la carte dishes receive top marks. The restaurant's interior, with its glass walls and terrace, offers uninterrupted views of Lake Rożnów, making every meal a unique experience. The only downside, noted by some, is the relatively high prices in the restaurant.

Wellness & Spa Zone – an oasis of relaxation with some shortcomings

The modern spa area is another magnet attracting guests to this resort . It includes a dry Finnish sauna, a steam bath, a herbal sauna with a lake view, an indoor jacuzzi, and a large, 14-person outdoor jacuzzi, also overlooking the water. A relaxation area with salt inhalation is also available. In the summer, guests can also enjoy the outdoor pool and children's paddling pool. The treatment options are based on natural, local cosmetics. Guests praise the design and atmosphere of this space, which promotes deep relaxation.

Unfortunately, it's in the spa area that service complaints have surfaced. One guest detailed an incident where staff failed to open the saunas at the scheduled time, and the Finnish sauna didn't work at all. It was also reported that guests had to remove and replace the tarp over the outdoor jacuzzi themselves to keep the water from cooling. There was also an issue with insufficient bathrobes for all guests. These shortcomings suggest that while the infrastructure is top-notch, procedures and staff organization still need refinement, as one reviewer noted, writing that the facility "is clearly just getting started."

Service, atmosphere and additional amenities

Opinions about the staff are divided, suggesting a certain inconsistency in standards. Many reviews emphasize the exceptionally friendly, smiling, helpful, and professional service. The owner, who is always on-site and ensures guests' comfort, is particularly warmly praised. On the other hand, there are complaints about the "untrained" staff, as evidenced by the issues described in the spa area. Despite this, the overall atmosphere of the facility is rated very positive – an ideal place for a quiet getaway, a family getaway, or a romantic weekend. The resort is well-equipped to accommodate families with children, offering them a space to play. It also serves as a great venue for events, as evidenced by the report from a successful St. Andrew's Eve party with an excellent DJ.

Location and access – beauty with a challenge

The location is undoubtedly one of the greatest advantages of Noi Resort & Spa. The views of the lake and the surrounding forests of the Beskid Sądecki Mountains are described as breathtaking, with some even comparing them to Alpine landscapes. It's an ideal place for those who value peace, quiet, and closeness to nature. However, it's worth noting that getting to the resort itself can be challenging. The final section of the road is described as steep, winding, and narrow, requiring a steady hand at the wheel. The resort itself offers tips on its website to avoid Google navigation errors during the final stage of the route.

Summary – is this hotel worth visiting?

Noi Resort & Spa is undoubtedly a place with enormous potential, already offering high standards and many reasons to admire. Modern design, a beautiful location, exquisite cuisine, and a well-designed spa area are its undeniable advantages. It's an excellent choice for those seeking a luxurious hospedaje (place to stay) away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Potential guests should be aware, however, that as a new facility, it still struggles with certain "infant diseases," primarily in the areas of service and organization. Access issues and minor room imperfections are offset by the overall quality and unique atmosphere. If the management manages to address these reported shortcomings, Noi Resort & Spa has every chance of becoming one of the leading facilities of its kind in the region.
