For locals, Qalaaltı's drawcard is the sickeningly sulphurous mineral water: drinking it is a prescribed health cure. However, the resort also accepts hotel guests in luxuriously huge rooms which gaze out across the Caspian for magnificent sunrises. The views are bettered only by those from the extraordinary infinity pool.
All rooms are spacious; the 'superior' rooms (ie nonsuites) feel a little more luxurious than the more expensive suites if you don't need the extra sitting space.
