Unique - Resort and Spa

We visited for a week with TUI at the end of August, start of September. We had stayed at the same time the previous year. We had not paid for an upgrade but should have done as whilst the room was again huge, there was no balcony which we definitely missed. There have been a couple of improvements in the year since our last visit. The breakfast has more choices and is better for it. The pool area was much nicer with better beds and umbrellas and somebody taking responsibility for keeping the area clean and we'll tended. Unfortunately whilst on holiday I contracted a virus and was ill. The TUI rep, Olivier, helpfully arranged for an English speaking doctor to visit the hotel and provide medication. So well done Olivier! As many others have remarked, the hotel is really nice and comfortable. Ohrid itself is a short walk away and is fantastic. Food and drink is exceptional value. The views are amazing. A brilliant place to visit.

Just arrived home after a fabulous stay at this lovely hotel , rooms are very spacious and clean. Plenty of sun beds around the pool , a little noise from the building work going on next to the hotel but didn’t spoil our holiday . Nice breakfast with plenty of choice . A couple of minutes walk to the lake where there are numerous bars , shops and restaurants all very reasonably priced. Highly recommend this hotel

We were very fortunate to arrive at the Unique Resort and Spa mid afternoon, but without our luggage, after the Manchester Airport electrical failure which caused the cancellation of many flights. The hotel was very clean and the room was spacious and modern with excellent air conditioning when needed. We stayed half board with the intention of eating out some evenings but found that the buffet in the hotel was really good quality with a varied choice of a four course meal every evening and so we ate there each night. The staff were pleasant, friendly and helpful. The pool was clean but chilly until you became used to the temperature, and the sun loungers were very comfortable. The spa facilities were excellent with a choice of two saunas, jacuzzi, cold plunge pool, steam room and tempidarium all kept very clean by the staff. I had a massage which was also very good value. Regarding the building work – it was ongoing and there was some noise from construction. We spent half days at the pool depending upon our plans for the day and during that time although noise could be heard, we didn’t feel that it was of any great annoyance. Our luggage arrived two days later, after valiant efforts by TUI to reunite thousands of travellers with their bags and the provision of a necessities payment enabling us to buy toiletries and clothing. A special mention to Olivier the TUI rep at the hotel who was very helpful in keeping us updated on the situation. Despite the initial setback to the holiday, we had a wonderful time, thoroughly enjoyed the hotel and our time in Ohrid and found Macedonia a beautiful country to visit. We would definitely recommend the Unique Resort and Spa.

There was much I liked about this hotel, but I have been awakened each morning at 5 am by 4 or 5 cement trucks unloading and pouring the foundation for a large building project, and it keeps going until 10 pm or so in the evening, which made my stay a big disappointment. Had that not been going on, my only complaint would have been weak and unstable wifi. The staff are friendly, and the room was good, but the heavy construction made my stay completely intolerable. And once the building works are completed, the view of Lake Ohrid is going to be completely or largely obscured.

Just returned from a 3 night break to this hotel. Rooms are huge with great views of the lake. Breakfast was lovely with plenty of choices. Staff were friendly and helpful. Short walk to the lake and about 15 minute walk to the old town. Peaceful location but close to lots of bars, shops and restaurants. Lovely outdoor pool with comfortable loungers. Would definitely return.
