Time from Zurich: 4-5 hours drive or 4 hour EC train direct to Jenbach and the hotel will pick you up from the station (10 min drive)

Food 

• Kids dinner starts at 6
• Generally fine with us going to dinner at 8
• All inclusive so wine etc doesn’t cost extra. Some cocktails also included 
• Quality good, not brilliant but kids buffet big hit with our son (lots of vegetables and pasta) . I’d say adults meal was a bit variable - some nights v good, others a bit “blah” 

Kids club 

• No parents allowed to stay in the club (good) 
• Need to book til 9pm the day before but seemed fairly relaxed about this in practice
• Our son (2.5) was happy - loads of hot wheels toys. Didn’t seem particularly hectic. Took the kids outside every morning at 10am. 

Pool & Amenities 

• big flume and a triple slide. 
• Really good toddler pool with mini slide and things for them to play with. 
• Hot tub (for everyone) 
• Riding school, Our son could do a taster pony ride.
  
• Looks like in summer they have a private beach on the lake and go-karting
• There is a roof-top infinity pool but in winter it’s not really heated enough and you have to walk through ice and snow to get to it, so not a huge hit. But i can imagine it’s great in Summer!

Recommendations and other Notes 

• ask for a table in Seeblick or Garden room (definitely not Zirbenstube!) 
• We were in Achenseesuite, ground floor some rooms in the haus am teig are right on the thoroughfare so not v private (i think these are the garden suites). 1st floor has limited view, 2nd floor probably better.
