APLEND Wellness Hotel Borovica Overview
You know what struck me first about the APLEND Wellness Hotel Borovica? It’s that moment when you step out and realize you’re literally at Štrbské Pleso – like, right there at one of Slovakia’s most stunning mountain lakes. I mean, most hotels claim they’re “near” the good stuff, but this place actually delivers. You can practically roll out of bed and be at the lake’s edge, which honestly makes those early morning walks pretty irresistible.
The wellness aspect isn’t just marketing fluff either. They’ve got this whole spa setup that actually feels integrated into the mountain vibe rather than tacked on. After spending a day hiking around the High Tatras (and trust me, your legs will thank you for the foresight), sinking into their facilities feels like exactly what the place was designed for. The staff seems to get that most guests are here for the outdoor adventures – they’re not pushy about spa bookings but they know their stuff when you do want to unwind. What I really appreciated was how quiet things get in the evenings; you’re not dealing with party crowds here, just people who genuinely want to decompress.
Now, being right at Štrbské Pleso means you’re sort of in this unique bubble – it’s touristy, sure, but in that mountain resort way where everyone’s here for the same reason. The hotel sits perfectly for catching the early train up to Skalnaté Pleso if you’re planning to tackle some serious hiking, and parking wasn’t the nightmare I expected (though I’d still get there before peak summer madness hits). The rooms are solid four-star territory – nothing groundbreaking but comfortable and clean, with those little touches that show they actually think about what tired hikers need. Honestly, the real star here is stepping outside your door and being surrounded by those dramatic mountain peaks reflected in the lake. It’s one of those places where the location does most of the heavy lifting, and the hotel is smart enough not to mess with that formula. If you’re planning a proper Tatras adventure and want somewhere that feels connected to the landscape rather than dropped into it, this spot makes a lot of sense.

Ada from Slovakia
We loved the food, it was excellent! Definitely suggest to visit the restaurant even if you don't stay in the hotel. The service is great, the staff was polite and helpful. The wellness is worth it. Even if you don't have a car, you can reach the hotel because it is very close to the train station Strbske Pleso. The lake is also in walking...
