Spa Hotel in Kuressaare
by niamey00 about Georg Ots Spa Hotel
Kuressaare is trying to remake itself into a year-round spa destination. Georg Ots is one of the newest and best of these spa hotels. The rooms are Scandinavian in design, well planned with views of the harbor or castle. It has a full service spa, a small gym, and various indoor and outdoor pools and jacuzzis. Great for a weekend getaway with or without the kids! Indoor and outdoor pools of varying temperatures, jacuzzis, saunas, good restaurant.
Surprisingly pleasant ...

"Service is good"
In hotels and restaurants the service was friendly, professional and to get by with English only was no problem. Nature very well preserved.
The place is relatively uncrowded, tranquil, no noisy parties .... almost no Eastern block tourists with their own weird behaviour, no drunken Brits ... so the place passes the first test be qualified as a pleasant :)
Weather is a gamble, however. Car is a must, I believe.
"Hotels"
Lynn Hotel: friendy, clean, reasonably prices, in the city center.
Mardi: cheap, decent, 3 min walk to the city center.
Georg Ots: spa hotel, two pools, sauna, very basic fitness center included in price, friendly.
"Restaurants"
Every restaurant located on the central square in Kuressaare is pretty average. Service is reasonably good, food is rather average.
Two restaurants down the Lossi street: La Perla and another one about 50 m down the street are probably the best ones. For La Perla -- make a reservation, if in high season.
Sare: in the very southern tip of Saaremaa, there is a restaurant, a rather decent. Authentic fish. Very specific "spicy mexican cake". Generally, impression is very good, English no prob, meals rather small.
