Bleiche Meadow

"Die Bleiche Resort & Spa is a luxurious retreat nestled in the heart of Spreewald, amongst navigable canals and forests. The whole complex is very beautiful and very large with lots of indoor and outdoor spaces. Every space is very nicely decorated but we had the impression that only a part of them was actually used.

Our four-night stay was amazing. The breakfast buffet was rich and very good, followed by excellent dinners offering a different menu every day. We particularly enjoyed the Wurst and Käsekammer, two compact rooms offering dinner guests a wide range of gourmet salamis, hams, and cheeses along with salads. This was in addition to the 3 courses menu included in our package.

The staff all over the complex was excellent. They were all very skilled professionals and always very attentive but also friendly and welcoming.

Just a couple of constructive criticisms - our room, for instance, lacked air conditioning which made it quite hot during the nights. Although opening the massive windows did alleviate the heat, doing so attracted a swarm of mosquitoes and bugs, given its location in the wetlands. Installing mosquito nets could be beneficial.
Additionally, the implementation of explicit guidelines in the Landtherme area was lacking and left us in a confusion whether nudity was permissible in the pool or strictly limited to the saunas. A clear directive on what's allowed would be highly appreciated. Maybe doing it "Textilfrei" in the whole Spa area like in most Germans spa would be better."

"Nice hotel in a great location. Overall we had a nice and relaxing time and would definitely consider going again. Two reservations I had were: (1) the pictures of the rooms are not really a fair representation of what most of the rooms look like. That being said, our room was overall nice and pleasant. (2) the prices in the restaurant were extremely high and although the food was generally good, there were corners cut that one would not expect at anything like this price and desserts were inferior. Most shocking were the extraordinary mark ups on wine. Where I was able to compare, prices were at least 5x retail and sometimes over 7x retail, which I have never seen before and leaves a bad taste in one’s mouth, so to speak."

"Spend two days there and I can honestly say that you will mostly be paying for the location, the garden and accommodations look lovely but that’s about it. There’s only one option for food, despite what the website makes you believe, and is ridiculously overpriced (100 euros for a five course menu, buffet salad and self serving cheese included as two of the courses, food was very basic, far from gourmet they advertise for). They stopped doing “a la carte” after covid but forgot to specify it on the website. Disingenuous description of the bedrooms and very uncomfortable bed and pillows. Advertises for WiFi but it’s only available at reception. On top of a service that doesn’t match the expectation you would have for a 4/5 star. Very overpriced experience overall"
