"When planning this visit to Azerbaijan to visit the various hot spring resorts, we had high hopes for Lankaran as it has received so much praise since it opened just five years ago. Having now spent three blissful days there, we can see what all the fuss is about - it was an extraordinary experience. From the moment we arrived we were impressed by the courtesy and friendliness of the staff (most of whom spoke very good English, which we certainly weren't anticipating). The food was outstanding - both in the variety and the quality (and we were more than satisfied as vegetarians with all the buffet options). The room was quiet, spacious, the bed was incredibly comfortable and the pillows were a dream (there's even a pillow menu!). The star of the show, naturally, is the spa and in particular the wonderful thermal springs. In three days my ring turned from silver to black - and that's a great sign that these hot spring waters are full of minerals! The temperature was a perfect 37-38 degrees, and the adjacent hamam, steam room and sauna were also beautifully designed and so relaxing. The indoor pool is spacious, and the dedicated relaxation room was like a heavenly cocoon. There's no doubt that Lankaran is a long way from Baku - but that's part of the appeal. Making a journey down here is an excellent way to really get away from it all, and enjoy some hot spring bliss at a very fair price with top-notch 5-star service. We'll be back for the full package next time! "
