Charos Deluxe Resort & Spa

We stayed here in September which is considered offseason. 36degs, clear blue skies, and the hotel is very quiet indeed. I think only two or four rooms taken. Why is this? This hotel has the most splendid pool and leisure area with a gorgeous backdrop of mountain scenery. Our room was deluxe king, very large, and gave access straight to this pool area. Air con was good and unrestricted. Only one small niggle is that there is only one bedside light on one side of the king- but there is no plug socket, so there you go. Because the hotel is so quiet the service drifts away a little and you have to ask for what you need. End of season stock control is a bit severe. The last four cans of beer in the fridge at the bar, and they ordered wine in for us specially from Tashkent as they ran out! Dinner and breakfast was cooked personally for us to order, which was charming in a way but restrictive. The coffee machine was said to be out of order. So offseason Charos is not really deluxe. We still strongly recommend you stay here. It's very peaceful and the school holiday mayhem is for other families to endure. We were hoping to hike the Chimgan Gorge but it was just too hot even up in these mountains. You would need to arrive in October and plan for a 5.30am start and we couldn't be bothered. Shame on us. Self-drive to the mountains is not too difficult. Upgrade of roads is almost complete. If you pick up the correct route it is little over an hour drive but roadworks and google maps conspired to make our journey longer. By 2023 I think these bugs will be gone. Note! If you type in Charos Deluxe Resort into google/google maps, the 'office' address in Tashkent can be dominant. We self drove to the resort and this could have resulted in a tiresome misunderstanding. Silly, but true.

Scammers. Big field for no nothing, amenities from soviet union, Restaurant “chaykhana” doesn’t show prices in the menu so you pay 9$ for a piece of shashlik. Didn’t serve breakfast for being 5min late so we have to pay. Worst ever service.
