(The Arrival & Accessibility - Or, My First Encounter with an Elevator That Might Have Been Haunted)
First things first: getting there. Airport transfer? Check. Smooth as silk. They were waiting, and my (surprisingly heavy) suitcase was whisked away. Accessibility: Now, this is where things get interesting. The resort says facilities for disabled guests are available. I'm mobile (for now, anyway!), but I did notice a few things. The lobby was, thankfully, wide open, and the check-in was swift. Contactless check-in/out? Yep, nailed it. I’d rate them on the accessibility front as…trying. The elevator? Let me tell you about the elevator. It was…characterful. Sometimes it whined. Sometimes it paused dramatically between floors. I'm pretty sure I heard a ghostly "ding" or two. Maybe a little maintenance? I'm just sayin'.
(Rooms & Comforts - Where I Almost Lost My Slippers to a Ghostly Intruder)
My room? Ooh, the room. Available in all rooms: Air conditioning, alarm clock, bathrobes, bathroom phone (who uses those anymore?!), bathtub, blackout curtains (THANK YOU, I like my sleep!), carpeting, closet, coffee/tea maker, complimentary tea, daily housekeeping, desk, extra long bed, free bottled water, hair dryer, high floor, in-room safe box, internet access – LAN & wireless, ironing facilities, laptop workspace, linens, mini bar, mirror, non-smoking, on-demand movies (thank goodness!), private bathroom, reading light, refrigerator, safety/security feature (multiple, which is always appreciated), satellite/cable channels, scale (yes, I weighed myself. Don't judge), seating area, separate shower/bathtub, shower, slippers (the fluffy kind! Score!), smoke detector, socket near the bed, sofa, soundproofing, telephone, toiletries, towels, umbrella, visual alarm, wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], window that opens…it's all in there!
Alright, there were little things that could have been better. My blanket was a little…starchy (I think the ghost of the laundry room was messing with it). And I swear, one night, my slippers moved. I'm not saying there's a resident poltergeist, but I'm also not ruling it out. A minor imperfection. The view from the window? Breathtaking. Literally. I spent a good hour each morning just gazing out.
(Eating, Drinking, & Snacking - My Personal Mission to Consume All the Khachapuri)
Okay, food. This is where Mtserlebi REALLY shines. The restaurants are fantastic. Multiple options, including: A la carte in restaurant, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Western cuisine in restaurant, and a Vegetarian restaurant (Hallelujah!). The buffet in restaurant was a spectacle – a glorious mountain of deliciousness. I am, without a doubt, a breakfast fiend. And the Asian breakfast was pretty fantastic too. The coffee/tea in restaurant was free-flowing, so that was ideal. The Happy hour at the Poolside bar was a must.
I'm also a massive fan of Khachapuri (Georgian cheese bread). The desserts in restaurant were also amazing. The Snack bar was very handy. Breakfast in room, breakfast takeaway service, room service [24-hour]? All there, and all crucial for my post-spa laziness. I may have accidentally ordered room service at 3 AM one night. Don't judge. We've all been there. The food delivery was great, by the way.
(Spa & Relaxation - Surrendering to Bliss (and Maybe a Bit of Self-Esteem-Boosting))
This is where the magic truly happens. Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Sauna, Massage, Foot bath, Body scrub, Body wrap… they had it all! The Pool with view was absolutely stunning. Floating in that water, looking out over the vistas… pure, unadulterated bliss. I had a massage that almost made me weep with happiness. My masseuse, a tiny woman with hands of steel, banished all my tension. I also did Body scrub and a Body wrap. I would like to live in the Spa.
(Things To Do & Ways to Relax - More Than Just Spa-ing (But Mostly Spa-ing))
Besides the spa (which is, let’s be honest, the main event), there's a Fitness center, Gym/fitness, and, of course, the Swimming pool [outdoor, with a view]. Borjomi itself is beautiful, and the resort offers easy access to explore it. They have Babysitting service and are listed as Family/child friendly if you bring your kids.
(Cleanliness & Safety - Feeling Safe, Even Amidst the Potential Ghostly Happenings)
During My stay: Cleanliness and safety: Mtserlebi takes this seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, individually-wrapped food options, physical distancing of at least 1 meter, professional-grade sanitizing services, rooms sanitized between stays, safe dining setup, sanitized kitchen and tableware items, staff trained in safety protocol, sterilizing equipment. I felt completely safe there, as they have CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, check-in/out [express], safety/security feature, security [24-hour], smoke alarms, fire extinguisher. It was reassuring. The presence of a Doctor/nurse on call and a First aid kit also added to the peace of mind.
(Services & Conveniences - The Little Things That Make a Big Difference)
The concierge was incredibly helpful. They sorted out taxis, gave me directions (though, honestly, I preferred getting lost), and generally acted like the fairy godmother of my vacation. Air conditioning in public area, Elevator, Luggage storage, Dry cleaning, Laundry service, Daily housekeeping, Ironing service, Currency exchange. all good. The Convenience store was ideal for grabbing snacks and the occasional emergency chocolate bar.
(For the Kids - If You're Bringing the Littles)
I don't have kids myself; the Kids facilities and Kids meal are available, though I did see several happy families running around.
(The Imperfections & Honest Truths - Because Life Isn't All Roses (And Khachapuri))
Okay, no place is PERFECT. And I'd be lying if I said everything was flawless. The service, while generally excellent, was occasionally a little…slow. And there was that elevator. And the blanket! (I’m still not entirely sure what happened there). But those are minor quibbles.
(Bottom Line: Would I Go Back?
Absolutely. This place is something special. The spa is divine. The food is glorious. The views are breathtaking. And even the potential for spectral encounters adds a certain…je ne sais quoi.
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 (deducting half a point for the elevator and the possibly possessed blanket. And for the fact that I gained five pounds. But it was totally worth it.)
Escape to Sapanca: Turkey's Untouched Paradise Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we are throwing ourselves headfirst into the misty embrace of Mtserlebi Resort in Borjomi, Georgia. This isn't your sanitized, Pinterest-perfect itinerary. This is… well, this. Prepare for some real talk, questionable choices, and the distinct possibility that I’ll get lost in the woods.
Day 1: Arrival & The Great Khinkali Hunt (And a Minor Panic Attack)
- Morning (Probably Late): Okay, so the flight was… an experience. Let’s just say budget airlines and my bladder are not friends. Landed in Tbilisi, haggled like a pro (or at least thought I did) with a taxi driver, and then the car ride to Borjomi… was long. Scenic, sure, with those majestic mountains looming, but also long enough for me to question every life decision that led me here.
- Afternoon: Arrival & Hotel Shenanigans: Finally, Mtserlebi! Honestly, the resort is gorgeous. Think rustic charm meets… a hint of Soviet-era functionality. Check-in was… well, let's call it an adventure in Georgian hospitality. The lady at the front desk, all fiery eyes and a magnificent headscarf, seemed to understand about 30% of my English. Managed to get a room, though – a tiny little cottage. The view? To die for. The fact that the lock on the door looks like it's been holding up since the days of the Tsars? Less inspiring.
- Evening: The Khinkali Quest and a Restaurant Disaster:
- The Hunt Begins: My stomach was rumbling like a grumpy bear. Destination: Khinkali! The iconic Georgian dumplings. I’d read reviews, researched the best places… and promptly forgot everything. Wandered around Borjomi town (cute as hell, by the way, with its charming architecture), totally lost.
- (Rant Alert!) The Restaurant That Shall Remain Nameless: Finally stumbled into a place that looked promising. Ordered khinkali, of course, also some grilled meat, and a glass of local chacha (a potent grape brandy). Here’s where things went south. The Khinkali? Cold. The meat? Overcooked. The Chacha? Gave me an instant headache. I’m not kidding.
- Emotional Fallout: I sulked. Okay, I might have thrown a small, silent tantrum. I’d been told this was a culinary paradise! Why wasn’t it working?! I sat there, stewing in my disappointment, watching a Georgian family at the next table happily devouring their food. Suddenly, a young girl, no older than five, offers me a piece of her bread. I smile through the pain, and I realize that maybe, just maybe, the beauty of this place, is in the people, not always the food itself.
- Salvation: Returning to the hotel, I found some snacks in my bag, chocolates, and a stash of instant coffee. A hot cup, and a good book, and the world started to look brighter.
Day 2: The Mineral Water Adventure & a Forest Fiasco… and more khinkali?
- Morning: The Borjomi Water Ritual:
- The Source: Headed straight for the legendary Borjomi mineral water park (the main reason I came here). It's a bit like stepping back in time, with all the old-school charm of a spa from a bygone era. The air feels charged with something… possibly mineral water vapor.
- The Taste Test: The water itself… it's an acquired taste. Think salty and slightly metallic. I, in fact, hated it at first! But once you get past the initial shock, it’s actually kind of… refreshing? I dutifully filled my bottle and pretended to feel healthier.
- The Park: The park is beautiful, with wooden walkways, trails, and a huge outdoor pool, all surrounded by lush, green forest.
- Afternoon: Forest Follies and a Near-Death Experience (Exaggeration Level: 7/10):
- The Hike: My grand plan was a leisurely stroll through the forest. Famous last words. The "trail" quickly deteriorated into a vaguely defined path, which then devolved into a scramble over rocks and roots.
- The Bear (Probably Not): I swear I heard a snapping twig and a rustle in the bushes. My imagination went into overdrive. Bears? Wolves? Sasquatch? What if I got lost? What if I died out here, alone, with a half-eaten granola bar in my hand?!
- The Escape: I practically sprinted back to the "safety" of the Borjomi Park, heart hammering in my chest.
- The Aftermath: I collapsed onto a bench, gasping for air, and seriously contemplating becoming a professional couch potato.
- Evening: Second Chance Khinkali and Redemption:
- The Restaurant Re-Do: Determined to redeem my khinkali experience. Found a tiny, family-run place in Borjomi, that was highly recommended by a local. It was filled with locals, always a good sign.
- The Verdict: This time… glorious! Hot, juicy, the perfect ratio of meat to dough. I practically inhaled them. Pure, unadulterated joy.
- The Lesson: Never give up on your quest for delicious dumplings!
- More Chacha: Well, maybe just one glass. For medicinal purposes, of course.
Day 3: The Mountaintop Views & Farewell Festivities (Potentially More Tears)
- Morning: Cable Car High (Literally): The next morning, I woke up feeling refreshed, no sign of chacha-induced headaches and ready for adventure. I took myself up the cable car for the promised views of the Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park. The ride up was slow and creaky, but the views… breathtaking. The mountains rolled on forever, the forest a sea of green. Pure serenity.
- Afternoon: More Exploring (and a potential shopping spree): With adrenaline in my system, I decide to explore more of the resort. I stumble upon a little market, and I start buying local goods: spices, jams.
- Evening: A Georgian Feast and Departure:
- The Farewell Spread: Back at the hotel, a massive feast was planned. Imagine plates piled high with grilled meats, cheeses, salads, and of course, copious amounts of wine and beer.
- The Toasts: Georgians love a good toast. And they are seriously good at it. I was toasted multiple times, mostly to my health, my future, and my terrible attempts at speaking Georgian.
- The Tears (Maybe): Leaving Borjomi will be hard. I've made it through the bad food, the slight panic, the near-death forest experience. Now I feel a deep appreciation for this glorious, imperfect, utterly captivating place.
- One Last Glance: As I leave, I sneak one last glance at the mountains.
Final Thoughts: This trip was a rollercoaster. It was messy. It was frustrating. It was beautiful, hilarious, and completely unforgettable. Georgia, you've stolen a piece of my heart.

Unbelievable Borjomi Luxury: Mtserlebi Resort - Seriously, What's the Deal? (My Brain's Still Processing...)
So, Mtserlebi Resort... Is it *really* as good as they say? I saw the pictures, but… you know.
Okay, deep breath. Let's get this straight. Those pictures? The ones with the perfectly manicured lawns and the infinity pool glistening like liquid emeralds? Yeah, those are… accurate. They *don't* lie. I mean, I’m not a professional photographer, so I couldn't possibly capture the exact same magic. But listen, the views? They're breath-snatching. Truly. I spent, like, a whole hour just staring at the valley, thinking about… absolutely nothing. Which, honestly, is a rare luxury these days. My phone was pinging like crazy. And I just... ignored it. (Cue: internal victory dance.) It’s *that* good.
What's the food situation like? I'm a picky eater, and fancy resorts can sometimes mean… pretentious food.
Alright, food. The crucial question. And here's the thing. They *care* about food. Properly care. I’m sure the chefs, when they leave the restaurant, still dream of culinary perfection. It's mostly traditional Georgian cuisine, elevated. Honestly, I was expecting, like, tiny portions on enormous plates. But nope! Generous, flavorful, and *delicious*. The khachapuri (cheese bread) was life-altering. I may have eaten one… (okay, maybe two) all by myself. Don't judge me! Even my incredibly fussy Aunt Mildred (who usually lives on crackers and complaints) devoured everything put in front of her. That's a *win*. They also catered to dietary restrictions. One time, there was a slight blip with the gluten-free bread (it was a tad… dense), but the staff immediately apologized profusely and brought out a perfectly fluffy replacement. That's how you do it, people!
Tell me about the rooms. Are they actually luxurious or just 'hotel-fancy'?
Okay, the rooms... Oh, the rooms. Let me tell you a story. I'm not usually a "luxurious" type of person. I am more used to hostels and budget-friendly stays. Before checking into this resort, I was a complete mess, and my room was cluttered with socks and half-empty bottles of water. So I guess, it was a real shock to find myself in a room that felt like a sanctuary. The bed... oh, the bed! Imagine sinking into a cloud of pure, fluffy bliss. The bathroom was bigger than my entire apartment. There's a tub with a jacuzzi, and I spent a whole glorious afternoon taking a bath, reading a book, and probably singing off-key. The noise of the outside world vanished. The minibar was well-stocked, and there was even a little balcony where I could sip my morning coffee (which was, by the way, *amazing*). Yeah... they're properly luxurious. And I'm pretty sure I'm ruined for regular hotels forever.
And what about the spa? Is it worth the extra money? (Because, let's be honest, spas can be a total rip-off.)
Okay, I’m going to be brutally honest here. I'm not a spa person. I'm more of a "sit on the couch and binge-watch Netflix" kind of person. But, people, I *strongly* recommend that you try the spa. I'm pretty sure the masseuse, a woman named Tata, has magical hands. I was skeptical. I'm *always* skeptical. But after my massage, I felt like a new woman. Literally. Years of stress and tension melted away. I emerged feeling like a gummy bear, but a *good* gummy bear. The pool area is super relaxing, with a very beautiful indoor pool, and also there’s a sauna and a steam room. I felt like I'd entered a different dimension entirely. Worth every penny, I swear it! I'm already saving up to go back just for the spa.
Is there anything *bad* about the resort? Because, you know, nothing's perfect.
Okay, deep breaths. This part is hard, because, I *loved* it. But, alright, let’s be real. The whole thing is a bit pricey. It’s an investment, let's say. But hey, luxury costs! Also, the winding roads getting there can be a bit… intense. I'm usually fine with driving, but my sister, who gets carsick in a parking lot, was turning quite green. Pack some ginger candies. And... and... hmmm... Oh! The Wi-Fi in my room was a little patchy at times. But honestly? It was kind of a blessing in disguise. Forcing me to disconnect from the world. Really, though, those are minor quibbles. Seriously, in the grand scheme of things, this is a *fantastic* place.
What's the best thing about the resort? Really, what's the one thing that sticks with you?
Oh, that's easy. It's not just *one* thing, though. It’s a collection of amazing memories. You know, like the warmth of the sunshine while I was sipping my coffee. The friendliness of the staff, who treat everyone like family – even if you're a complete stranger from a distant land like me. The food...the spa...the views... But the one thing that *truly* sticks with me? That feeling of complete and utter relaxation. After a crazy year, I desperately needed that. I came away from the resort refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to face whatever life throws my way. This is more than just a luxury resort; it's an experience. It's a memory you'll treasure.
I’m thinking of going. Any pro-tips or must-dos?
Okay, listen up, because I have *opinions*. First: Book a room with a view. Seriously. Do it. Secondly: Indulge in a massage. Thirdly: Try everything on the menu, even if you think you won’t like it. You might be surprised. Fourthly: Take a deep breath and just *be*. Put away your phone and enjoy the moment. And finally: Pack comfortable shoes for exploring Borjomi National Park. Oh, and maybe a small notebook and pen. You’ll want to jot down your feelings... Trust me. You won't want to forget a moment.
