A wonderful place to relax with your family.There is a wonderful zoo for children with the opportunity to feed animals and birds, beautiful swimming pools in the summer, inexpensive
I liked it very much!
We had a rest with my wife, everything is very cool, polite and friendly staff of the thermal SPA, the territory of the complex is well maintained and functional.👍💯
I was in January, the territory is very large and nice. However, even if you took a cottage, you will have to pay to go to the ice rink, thermal spring, etc. the service is 3-ku, the food is expensive and not tasty.
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
We had a rest with children, a great place,well-groomed,large territory,I recommend a nursery , near the pools, it works until 1900. There is food at the entrance, but we also brought apples, bananas, and carrots with us.
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.
Everything is very beautiful. Like it. I was really only in the beach area, because it's very hot to walk. Well, there were no empty places to check in. But this suggests that this place is popular. In general, the impressions were positive
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 wonderful place to spend a vacation with your family. There is a rest for everyone. I really liked the pool, I want to say a special thank you to coach Denis, a very good employee 👍
It's a great place. The size of the territory is amazing. The safari park is great. The pool is comfortable, the bar is next to the pool. The whole area is well maintained, the staff is friendly.
As for the atmosphere, everything is ok, we can say even at the highest level, decent, decent, impressive. There is one big BUT- the price. Entrance to the pool of 10 thousand tenge is expensive, but it is possible. However, I'm screening you along with your "luggage" for the subject of carrying not particularly dangerous items, but food, which in itself is quite strange. The cafe on the territory is quite expensive, it gives the impression of some kind of imposition of food service, what to do-you want to eat, well at least you can take water from the outside world. In general, the place is expensive for Kazakhstan, it is well promoted. However, this is just a pool, not even the sea, chlorinated water. In Russia, this complex would not be of interest to us
Everything is generally fine, as described. But it is very expensive to eat and relax there. The kitchen is very expensive.
The territory is very large, Parking is far from the place of rest, take everything you need from the car at once.
Safari is not expensive, but somehow boring, the huntsman goes and is silent, they do not tell children anything about animals, the animals there are the same as in the zoo. Only 2 camels, wild boars and another type of deer are added-not spotted. I really miss the sounds of the jungle, otherwise there is complete silence during the trip.
We often go there as a family, we really like it, they cook quickly and are very tasty, I especially liked the barbecue. The children are carefully monitored by rescuers. And there was a foam party, foam does not wait for the eye at all and is safe
It's a great place, the water is clean, a very cool place just for walking. The restaurant is unreasonably expensive. There is still a lot of work to be done on the service, and the staff needs to be trained.
The resort is very developed. There is only 1 minus in the cafe, it is very expensive and the food is so-so. Now the pros are the atmosphere here is like in Dubai or Turkey. Everything is clean in the locker rooms. The pool is very clean, the women are told to collect their hair. And there is also a SPA in the resort, the Zoo is free. I really liked it, I advise everyone to go there.
Everything is fine, but the fact that they are forced to take off their jackets for inspection at the entrance negates all the advantages.You feel like some kind of bandit.When entering the shopping center, no one checks like that, although there are a lot more people there.
A wonderful place! I especially liked the hot pool at the spa! Definitely, I recommend it. For outdoor enthusiasts, there is everything-sports grounds, a swimming pool, bicycles, horses. You can fish, or just wander around the territory, the benefit is huge.
The children loved to relax in 8 Lakes. We usually rented a cottage for two days. The bed is snow-white, the furniture is tired, like in a sanatorium. The price tag is always 5 check-in)
You can't have drinks with your food, they scan at the entrance upon check-in, when issuing a card with a mandatory deposit that can be spent on the territory.
We were in the kennel once, I no longer want to look at tired animals in conditions that are not entirely clear. The wolf and the bear are thin and unhappy. We rode around the territory with a breeze, the children are happy.
You can rent bicycles, but for the whole day, the hourly payment does not pass.
Breakfasts are included in the accommodation, served quickly, there are no complaints about the service. We liked it, we were there more than once, maybe we were lucky, many complain. At that time there were 8 restaurants, then 4. The price tag there bites if you eat with the whole family. The waiters mostly ask to close the account long before the end of dinner. Maybe it's accepted there, but the sediment remains.
There were not enough sun beds near the large pool. You can't leave the pool area, you have to pay again. The children stayed to swim, I went to the thermal spa. You can go broke with drinks in summer. More ice than lemonade. Almost all the ice.
We decided to go to the hot springs and only come once a year, as long as the children liked it.
A great place to relax! The nature here is very beautiful! You can ride bicycles along the lakes! The pools are wonderful too! The service is excellent! The food is also very tasty. Thank you👌
Segiz Kol is one of the many family and outdoor recreation areas. Everything is very well planned. It is noticeable at the entrance to the parking lot. The reception is passed through a metal detector, which already says a lot. It is very pleasant to travel around the territory strictly by bus, which is also very pleasant. Cafe on the level. In winter, the rink is professionally prepared, skate rental is also there. You can hire an instructor. In summer, this is the beach, football, volleyball, etc. I generally recommend it.
A very good place for a family holiday. The SPA is very good. The prices are reasonable. One of the disadvantages is that there is no transfer back to Almaty. You can get from the city by taxi to Eight lakes without any problems. But calling a taxi there is a problem.
Great place, nice pool, delicious food.
Everything is clean and tidy!
I will definitely come here again!
There are entertainment events for both adults and children 😃
A wonderful place, clean water in the beach club, we were very pleased on June 7 that there were few people. It is expensive to drink and eat in the kitchen, in general, a wonderful vacation. I recommend
There is everything on 8 lakes , from A to Z
Everything you want , swimming pool , horseback riding , cycling, cinema , terminal spas ,all seeing massages 😍😍beautiful bridge 😍there is everything ✅✅✅
I liked everything very much. For such a large complex, I think that the prices are quite low and adequate. The territory is very large, many waterfowl birds, a large hedgehog have been seen
It's a cool place!!!! Very nice, clean, cozy!!!There is a petting zoo, a lot of recreation areas, a lot of entertainment for children!The food in the cafe is very tasty and the prices do not bite
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
This is the best place for me to walk both on foot and by bike. It's silence, solitude. The cuisine is varied. The houses are cozy. The staff is helpful. I really love this place
It's expensive, but that's the only downside. The food is delicious, the rabbits are cute, the ice rink is atmospheric, the pool is cool, the rooms are comfortable. Everything is great. We always come here as a family
The price for a simple one is expensive, of course, but everything else is of excellent quality. I liked nature, well-groomed plantings, lakes especially, a mini zoo and a mini safari.
A great place, clean, pleasant, culturally, but expensive. The water in the pools is clean, the showers and toilets are clean and odorless. The foam party Is Finally A Theme.
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.
The pools are magnificent, the type of service, I liked everything, the only thing is that you can't even take water with you, but it's very expensive inside, we went with a girlfriend, a barbecue and two glasses of lemonade cost almost 15 thousand.
They've gone bad. Even a small child, even a 2-year-old, should not take food with him. Although the law does not prohibit bringing food with you. Safari is not an interesting few animals.
8 lakes are adored by the whole family!
Upsetting - the service in the restaurant!
We waited a long time for the waiter, while three free waiters were standing at a distance from us, doing nothing, having a "small talk".
Turning to the administrator Lyudmila with a question why one waiter is sewn up, while others are sharpening their mistakes and cannot approach the client, they received an answer: "We don't have clients, we have guests. Each waiter has a rotation. Has your order been accepted? I: "Yes, they accepted", the administrator: "Well, that's it then, wait." So the rotation is like this: one is sewn up, there are a lot of GUESTS at the tables behind it, and where the tables are free, you can stand and do nothing.
If we, the visitors, are positioned as GUESTS, then the attitude, in any case, of the Administrator, should be on the level.
RESTAURANT MANAGERS, TAKE ACTION! TEACH ADMINS TO COMMUNICATE POLITELY WITH GUESTS❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️
A huge territory. A very good zoo, where you can come a couple of times with children. Perhaps that's all. Unreasonably high prices for the kitchen. The service is very mediocre.
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.
Beautiful large well-maintained area, fishing, thermal SPA. However, why is the summer tariff starting on May 20, and summer services are not working yet (the beach area is closed and one restaurant is open). For the only place to eat on weekdays, the choice of dishes in the restaurant is meager and the dishes are lagging behind in taste.
A great family complex with lots of entertainment.
- It's all clear
- good food, fast delivery
- contact mini zoo (free)
- duck ponds (free)
- small safari (for children 2-5 years old)
- in general, a place where you can relax with money and budget
- as for me, the disadvantages are that the pools are not heated
