The Best of the Best!

It's a beautiful place! The service is excellent, there is a metal detector at the entrance, which is very important for safety! The territory is well maintained! There is a petting zoo! Bus drivers are super polite and funny! As they say, the theater starts with a hanger)
There is a petting zoo, a spa, a restaurant, fishing! A petting zoo!
According to the promotion, admission to the territory is free on weekdays. You can go out and feed rabbits, deer, raccoons, ducks) and it's all free)))
We were afraid to go reading the comments that it was expensive and terrible! So that's not true!!! Prices are like in any restaurant in the city, dishes from 2500 and uphill depending on what to order)))
And the park and zoo service is behind you, you only pay for the restaurant!
A place for those who understand how much it costs to keep such a territory in order!
This is not a free beach on kapchagai (you will not see cigarette butts, beer cans and grubs)
Many thanks to the authors of the idea and those who implement this project for a clean and cozy place!!!!

It's a good place. A good recreation area in the water area, good restaurants, a great area for walking, especially cycling. And, overall, it's beautiful! There are, of course, disadvantages (
The audibility in the rooms is simply killer. Therefore, it is better to rent a cottage, if there is one)
The bike park, in general, will be very good, it would be nice to update it, or repair it

We were at 8ozer in July for two days, from Thursday to Saturday , a great place to relax , the territory is huge , well-groomed , cycling is super , reception and housekeeping are very polite and helpful staff , rooms are clean .
The Arowana restaurant , where breakfast is served , liked the speed of service , polite waiters , all the dishes are delicious, desserts deserve special compliments - we tried everything !
The biggest minus in this vacation was visiting the Vostochny restaurant, it seemed that this was another state in this territory, they ordered 5 hot dishes, accepted the order, after 15 minutes one was brought, after another 30 minutes the waitress came and said that the remaining 4 hot ones would not be, there were no ingredients! Does the stop list work in the kitchen at all? Where are the restaurant managers looking? While we were waiting for an hour, four companies came in , tried to place an order and left.
The cocktails were brought in sticky dirty glasses .
A very strange place for 8 lakes .
I would also like to ask the administration to put up signs and directions where you can drive and where not on rented electric cars.
And in general, the place is gorgeous for a family vacation !

At the moment, a very beautiful complex, a huge territory, a huge and cool swimming pool, from Friday to Monday the most visited days in the pool, but on other days there are people ... the staff is pleasant, the kitchen is delicious, you can not leave your drinks and food at the entrance, except for baby food ... you can rent bicycles and ride around there is also a thermal SPA on the territory, with a sauna and a hot pool (especially good in winter) there are several playgrounds, catamaran rides on the lake, I also advise for business events… And there are many ducks that are present in the area of the bridge over the lake, all children and adults feed them and admire them…

We are here every weekend-this is a place of strength for our family👍🏻 An amazing beauty park with lakes, ducks, geese, excellent cuisine in the restaurant, fresh fried fish and a very tasty barbecue, the opportunity to rent a bike and ride along the paved paths to the eighth lake - in 5-6 hours of stay you are energized for the whole working week. The prices are very reasonable, we rented a house for a couple of weeks this summer. In winter, a SPA with a thermal pool with hot water, in summer a large pool warms up to a comfortable warm temperature, children have a zoo and the opportunity to ride horseback. In general, this place is our love😊

Positive:
Nature
Delicious restaurant
Was given a compliment cake
Everything is clean
Minuses:
NO entertainment after 8-9 pm
Boring
There is not enough entertainment program
Breakfast, where's the porridge and two fried eggs? I can cook this at home.
The rooms are old
Where not to go, everything is paid, even the zoo
Pool towels can be taken only once, they are not given in the second approach
You need to choose a spa or a swimming pool

Beautiful territory, a good thermal spa, 3 baths and two swimming pools, indoor and outdoor with hot water, the price tag of course is too high for drinks ... The beach club is very good two large pools and a pool for children, on weekdays it is very comfortable, on weekends of course there are a lot of people, but in comparison with urban pools it is better here, in the restaurant is certainly not cheap, but everything that was ordered is delicious and the portions are normal.

The impressions are good. Rest is good. The pool is great. With children, that's what you need. Only the prices bite, especially in terms of snacks. The service is not bad. It is advisable to visit on hot days and arrive in the morning. After lunch, it's hard to find a free sunbed and an umbrella.

I liked the pools, they were big and clean. The territory is well maintained in principle, there are a lot of sun beds. But there is a significant disadvantage- this is a cafe near the pools: the order was waited for more than an hour, it was not on the menu that was ordered, I had to order what was left, the food is not very tasty, but very expensive.
This is the only thing that spoiled the impression, but not the rest itself.

The best swimming pool in Almaty (or rather behind it). The quality of service and the whole complex is pleasantly surprising. Especially the area for walking, lakes and services such as bicycles, fishing, and so on. The cuisine is also good and the prices are adequate, given this "resort".

We spent two days on 8 lakes with our grandchildren at the end of October 2024, the grandchildren had a vacation. Everything seems to be fine, the room is clean and warm, the territory is huge, but we came because of the pools. In the evening we went to the thermal spa, the grandchildren bought plenty. The next day we went closer to lunch and what a horror, the water is dirty, dirty. Something floats, but mud floats. Apparently, they didn't clean it at all. But very young children also swim there. If you can't see anything in the evening, then in the afternoon it's real, it's terrible. Children dive, water gets into their mouths involuntarily. In general, it became so disgusting. They pulled the children out and did not want to go to the pool at all anymore. They have sworn off going to the thermal spa, it's not worth it for that kind of money. It's a pity I didn't think to take a picture of the water

Turkey in Almaty at an affordable price. You don't need to save a lot of money, just find money for a day or a day visit, including in winter - the SPA is open. There is always an opportunity to distract and relax, let everyone in Almaty know about it.

A wonderful place - beautiful landscapes, clean water, wonderful pools, an interesting mini zoo and safari. It's all good... besides food, it's just an overprice and not tasty. Please do something about the restaurant.

The 8 Lakes Recreation Center in Almaty is a beautiful place with picturesque nature, swimming pools, restaurants and entertainment. It is suitable for family holidays, but prices are above average, and it can be crowded on weekends.

A huge territory, clean houses, the cleanliness of the pools is a little alarming, since there are a lot of people in the summer, but I have never observed a sanitary day, the kitchen in all cafes is very tasty, I would especially like to mention the barbecue in the cafe near the pools, it is amazing, I have not seen such a delicious barbecue for a long time, in the evenings there is a screening there are open-air movies, there is a contact zoo area, in general, come and walk, I really like this place.

The first time on 8 lakes was in 2016. Then I didn't like it - a small pool, a crowd of people, cerberus guards , you won't relax ...
But not long ago I decided to go and was pleasantly surprised ☝️
Huge swimming pools , clean , tidy, free towels, sun beds, umbrellas, trestles , bar , ice cream, good cuisine... You can walk outside the water park, it's green, it's beautiful.
There is a thermal SPA.
Recommend 👍

Every year in the warmer months we come here on bicycles to ride. A great place for a ride, a walk, a family vacation. A huge territory with its own zoo, clean, clean air and peace everywhere.
Why, if you paid for a visit to the spa center, do you have to pay to get out and go in again? I want to go eat at an oriental cafe nearby, as there is simply no food in the spa. I ordered a smoothie, I ordered tea, but it's not food. Make hot dogs, burgers at least. I think 10% for the service is inappropriate. There are just tables by the pool. We returned from the thermal pool to the table, others are already sitting there, although we left mugs and towels there. The waiters just gave the table to others because we were gone for 30 minutes. The thermal pool is good, 3 steam rooms are good, but the pool near the steam rooms smells strongly of chlorine.

The prices are powerful, and everything is fine, I have been resting there for 7 years in a row, the cottages are cool, especially if you are with a gold card (necessarily relatives or owners of the cottage) you can safely go to the pool without paying at all, only the bar and rental (sale) of inflatable crocodiles, mattresses, etc., are paid.
visiting the indoor pool (spa, wellness and youth center, it seems)8,000tenge+ per person, with a gold card you have a -20% discount on many things.Please contact the reception for any questions, they will really help you on a professional level.(I told you superficially and what I remembered, have a good rest and I hope my review will be useful to you!

A wonderful park for walking and relaxing.Very nice pool and SPA.There is even a mini zoo and fishing.As a disadvantage, this is an expensive restaurant with not very tasty food.Unfortunately, the restaurant has no competition and you have to eat only there.If I were the owners, I would allow other representatives of the food industry to enter the territory, which would attract more visitors.I often watched how, after seeing the prices on the menu, vacationers were disappointed to leave the summer area of the restaurant or order the cheapest.

The location is very convenient. There is beauty all around. The pools are being looked after. The kitchen is delicious, but expensive. We stayed overnight in the cabins, the cabins were clean and tidy. But I really didn't like that after 12.00 at night, the lights in the lampposts, which are located on the sidewalks that lead to the houses, are turned off. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to the house from the restaurant. From 8.00 a.m., workers began mowing the grass with a gasoline mower right next to the houses, making a noisy sound. It seems that we came to rest and not to say that it is cheap. We could mow the grass closer to lunch, when the guests wake up.

8 lakes is no longer a place where you can have a good time!
Weekend admission is 15K for an adult, 9k for children from 3 to 12 years old.
What will you get for this money?
Nothing.
1. Let's start with the locker room 🤢 UNSANITARY CONDITIONS Everywhere dirt, water and hair.
Mothers with babies throw dirty diapers right on the changing bench and napkins, and the staff does not clean. The toilet doors don't close, it stinks, the flush doesn't work, the trash cans are falling apart. In general, the women's locker room is a scary and disgusting sight. I WAS AFRAID TO GO INTO THE SHOWER ROOM.
2. We forgot the sunscreen, so they sold it there, but the price is x7.
We paid 7k for the cream, which costs 1,500 tenge on Kaspi. Okay, our joint, what did you forget... but you're completely fucked up 😠
3. Swimming pool
The water was dirty, there was snot, paper bracelets were lying in the water and near the pool. Savages jump into the pool and no one is watching it.
4. Bar
The bar is full of trash on Saturday. Littered with garbage and a dirty bar counter. At one o'clock in the afternoon there were no lemonades, fruit drinks and, most importantly, ICE... Something like that…
5. Food.
The food is good, but it stands like an airplane wing. 4K kebabs, 5k pizza, 4k lemonades.
6. Staff.
For the money that visitors pay you, can you afford adult employees?
It was very strange to watch a 12-year-old girl collecting garbage, and a 14-year-old girl struggling with smelly dirty floors in the locker room.
Results:
A place I won't go back to because I'm squeamish. Expensive and unjustified

There are no similar establishments in Almaty: there is an indoor pool with saunas, an outdoor one with hot artesian, massage services, the largest outdoor pool in Asia, lakes for fishing and walking, a petting zoo with a protected area, and restaurants. Prices are above average, but Tau SPA is more expensive and the level is lower than that of 8 lakes.

A good place to relax, beautiful territory. But now the prices have been raised for houses, it has become too expensive. It's nice that breakfast is included, but visiting the spa only once, and you rest for a day or more and it's just not wow.... we ate at the Aravanna restaurant (I think it's called that) European cuisine for 4! We were at the rink, of course it's a mess, a lot of people, people come just for a day, and You (for example ) you rest for three days and you also stand in line with everyone and sometimes you don't have enough skates ((( with roller coaster riding, the same sad story. To stand in line, in the cold, to take a ride once, you can do it once later if you don't want to.

The most beautiful and picturesque place, near Almaty. Admission is free. Beautiful area for walking. Convenient parking. There is a mini zoo. Well-groomed beautiful territory. The cafe is very expensive. Prices are like in a Michelin restaurant. It's too expensive, but the service is terrible. You have to wait for your order and bring it in a chaotic manner. They can bring dessert first, then hot, and then salad. I advise you to go to the Spacenter. The water is gorgeous.

The place is very cool for a family vacation, but contact zoos are unethical, I would like people to understand this already. Animals are uncomfortable in small cages there and they get a lot of stress because of the crowd of people who want to stare at them, feed them, touch them, etc.

They can easily deceive - on the day of check-in they will call and say that there are problems with the cottage, and then it turns out that there was no problem, you just need to check in another guest, either a mistake by the booking department, or intentionally prioritize others.
The food of the Oriental restaurant is delicious, but something else may come across.
If there are problems with the number, they will not fix it promptly.
The pool is good, the children will like it.
If you go one day, without spending the night, then it's fine.

We were at 8 lakes on September 28. I am extremely dissatisfied and disappointed with the work of the administrator Lyudmila, who works at the Arovana restaurant. She misinformed us with the readiness of our order, asked us to wait 1 hour, when we approached, we waited for our order for another 30 minutes, as a result, 4 sticks of barbecue were fried for 1.5 hours. The waiter brought the kebab straight on a stick, did not take it off. The barbecue was burnt, I specially attach a photo. When the administrator Lyudmila was called, she did not even apologize, she immediately began to defend herself, like we had nothing to do with it, it was extremely unpleasant, a convincing request to the management to work with the staff. Sincerely, your loyal customers

Our favorite vacation spot. Clean, beautiful, expensive (not at the price of a ticket, it's quite democratic here. A lot of it is generally free). The only drawback is that you can only get by taxi or car, in no other way from Almaty. Otherwise, I would go there every day. Excellent safari park, ice rink, spa. How I love this place. 💕

We stayed with the girls in the room. The water was drunk, not all the accessories were there. The staff is, frankly, slow in restaurants. The price and quality of the food does not match at all, even considering that in such places the price can be overpriced. There are no programs after 11:00. At least the music and the dance floor. We were celebrating a birthday, we had to wrap up early.
It is still impossible to enter the pool area if you exit. Let's say we had a room, we expected that we would run to the air conditioner sometimes and play board games. But alas…
But on the plus side, it's beautiful and clean. Especially at night, the beach club is atmospheric. I also liked the thermal spa.
