The hotel is by the Brno Reservoir offering a wonderful panoramic view to the lake and surrounding woods from its terrace. It can be easily reached from the Brno city centre and Brno train station (approx. 20 minutes by taxi, or 40 minutes by tram 3 & bus 54). Our room was as described in the offer, spacious, clean and comfortable. Hotel has a swimming pool with four different saunas and a gym. Breakfasts and dinners were delicious with variety of options, vegetarian and non-vegetarian, and a range of fruits, sweets and ice cream. The stuff was super nice, providing entertaining programmes for kids. It is an excellent place for a family vacation. We enjoyed our stay, boat trips on the lake, the Ververi castle as well as Bohemian Jazz Festival in Brno.

We enjoyed our stay in the OREA Resort Santon Brno hotel and very much liked all the activities we did, boat trips, swimming, sliding, hiking, Ververi castle, Brno Museum of applied arts and Bohemian Jazz Festival. We have no complaints.

Visited in December, winter, and the hotel is cozy for that period. You get access to gym and spa (pool and different saunas). We made use of the couples' massage (for extra fee) and it was a good experience. Breakfast has a good selection. Weekends can be busy for both spa and breakfast area. The busy periods for breakfast are communicated though. We used the restaurant (which is same place as breakfast) a few times and it has good food, somewhat pricey which was expected. Staff is very helpful in both spa area and the hotel itself, just ask for anything (slippers/towels etc.). Room was modern and overall looking/maintained with plenty of space. Location near reservoir is nice, there is a walking/running path.

Room was cooler than expected and the temperature control didn't seem to change anything. As mentioned, breakfast area can get busy when hotel is full, especially between 8.30 - 10.00 on weekends, can be stressful to get a place, foods are replaced slower, coffee might run out from the two automatic machines and the pancake line is blocking quite a bit of breakfast area.

We stayed for just one night and didn’t use the spa or pools, but everything else exceeded our expectations. The breakfast was abundant, offering a wide variety of options. There’s an electric vehicle charger conveniently located in front of the hotel. Staff was nice and friendly. What truly stood out was the attention to detail. Traveling with our 2-year-old, we were delighted to receive a small gift for him upon arrival, which included a coloring book, crayons, a booklet, and a small toy. The bathroom was thoughtfully stocked with children’s cosmetics like shampoo, shower gel, and body lotion. Additionally, the corridor near the restaurant featured a children’s play area, which was a lovely and unexpected touch. Overall, a great experience!

Room: A lovely room with a comfortable bed, providing everything we needed. Breakfast: A good variety of options to choose from. Wellness: A pleasant wellness area featuring a pool and multiple saunas, including steam rooms.

TV: The HDMI port was difficult to access. Dining Area: The space felt overcrowded, making it challenging to fully enjoy the experience. Fortunately, we managed to find a spot during breakfast, but during peak hours (8:30–10:00), this could be much more difficult. Towels in Wellness Area: Guests often left their towels on deckchairs, ignoring signage prohibiting this behavior. As a result, many deckchairs were unavailable despite being unoccupied. I suggest clearly reminding guests of the rules and regularly removing abandoned towels. Introducing a fee for replacement towels could also discourage this practice. With better enforcement, seating would likely be sufficient for everyone.

We booked an overnight stay at the Orea before rendezvousing with family for a holiday. The rooms are newly renovated, modern, stylish, very clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed for a nice and comfortable stay including a plush bathrobe for the Wellness area. We very much liked that they have gotten rid of one use plastic amenities and replaced them with refillable bottles which gives them greenie points. We had a fantastic meal at the restaurant and made use of the great wellness area which really rejuvenated us for our trip. Breakfast was fresh and varied with hot and cold options as well as an egg station which was fab! Finally, the staff are excellent and are truly great ambassadors for the brand. We would like to commend Samuel at the restaurant and Fred especially who looked after us during dinner service and gave us exceptional service. We loved our stay so much we decided to come back on our trip back home (a big compliment considering there are a lot of establishments to choose from). We highly recommend Orea Santon and encourage them to keep up the great work!

he accommodation is in a very beautiful location, our room had a view of the lake, the bed was comfortable, and the staff was friendly. Both breakfast and dinner were plentiful and delicious. A particularly pleasant surprise, something we haven't encountered elsewhere, was that paper bags were provided at breakfast so guests could pack a snack for later. The bags had the following inscription: "Perfect snack for a walk or hike."

The only negative thing I can mention is that although dinner is served until 9:00 PM, by 7:30 PM, the goulash soup had only broth left, with no solid ingredients

We had such an amazing stay here! Staff is wonderful and really does everything to make your stay better: + Lovely location, near the lake +Amazing breakfast with lots of choice, from oatmeal to eggs, fresh fruit, mimosa’s, a barista who makes your choice of coffee (also cappuccino with almond milk) and a bag where you can fill food (for free) for your trip during the day +Wellness with very nice Thai massage and saunas +Small (kids) pool on the roof top, where they bring free haagen dasz ice cream at the end of the day +Clean rooms, very nice area with kids toys +When left, we even received a few bottles of water at the reception for the road! That’s so thoughtful

Really everything was wonderful. If I have to be critical, we once paid for buffer dinner in the hotel and it was not as good as breakfast. Furthermore there was a big conference in the hotel for which they removed all children toys. A lot of children were disappointed because they wanted to play. Perhaps they could’ve put the toys in a different area (behind the elevators on ground floor?) so that children still could play

Nice hotel, the 2 room suite was perfect for traveling with a baby, we got a cot for our son immediately after requesting even though we had forgotten to book it in advance, nice play corner for kids next to the restaurant. Good breakfast.

My feeling is that it looks much more luxurious in photos, in reality it's just an old hotel that's been refurnished. All the ads of Orea communicate family-friendly locations, they have a mascot etc, but in this hotel there is just a tiny play corner next to the restaurant. The restaurant is extremely overpriced and the food quality is not great. The staff is hit and miss, some of the restaurant staff were absoutely lovely, very friendly and understanding of the toddler, other people were rude and unpleasant. The surroundings are nice but there were a lot of weird people around the lake.

The room was very nice, clean, modern looking. The beds were big and very good to sleep on. One of the best hotel beds! Breakfast was rather normal, a standard selection of sweet and salty food and meals. The view from the restaurant is stunning, overlooking the docks and the dam. The location was really good. There was a very nice corner for children to play in, and the spa section was also very pleasant.

Parking places were quite full and it was hard to find a good spot. The places in the back were so narrow I had problems getting out of the car.

Staff is professional, kind and smiling making your stay a pleasant experience. Food was delicious, breakfast offers many options (maybe only fruits weren't fresh and nice); half board is highly suggested, dinner at terrace restaurant is a lovely moment of the day, gulas fest was exceptional. Location is the key of this hotel and if you have a room with view over the lake makes your stay even more romantic. Room was tidy and very comfortable, maybe only lacking more space to hang the clothes

Only unpleasant experience was the spa zone, unfortunately some families with kids let them play loudly in the pool area. Hotel could forbid the access to kids in what is supposed to be a wellness area, to relax and rest, not an aquapark where to play and jump.
