Shymbulak Resort Hotel

We visited Shymbulak Resort in April 2024 and had an amazing experience. The scenery was stunning, and the whole atmosphere felt peaceful and refreshing. The ski instructors were professional and friendly, making us feel safe and confident even as beginners. The resort staff were also incredibly kind and helpful—special thanks to Olzhas and Niyaz, who were especially warm and welcoming. Their hospitality made a big difference and truly enhanced our stay. Breakfast at the resort was also fantastic! There was a great variety of dishes, and everything tasted fresh and delicious. The restaurant’s location was perfect—with huge windows offering breathtaking views of the mountains. Sitting there with a warm meal and such a view was simply unforgettable. We would absolutely love to come back next winter. Shymbulak is highly recommended for anyone looking for a beautiful and memorable winter escape!

Visited April 2025 Shymbulak Resort is the perfect winter stay—cozy, stylish, and surrounded by amazing mountain views. The ski instructors were friendly and professional, and breakfast had a great variety with stunning views from the restaurant’s big windows. We were especially happy to meet two of the friendliest hotel staff, Niyaz and Olzhas. Their warmth and kindness made us feel so comfortable—it truly added to the joy of our holiday. Can’t wait to come back next winter!

We had a wonderful stay at the resort. The location was peaceful and scenic, perfect for a family getaway. The food was delicious, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Highly recommended for anyone looking to relax and enjoy nature!

Staying at this hotel was one of the best experience we had during our travel to Almaty. Very well maintained rooms, lots of storage space, amazing views from our 3rd floor balcony, variety of breakfast with generosity, entire staff is welcoming and helpful. Sauna rooms and heated swimming pool are big plus. Highly recommended to stay atleast for a night if not more

If you are in Almaty, believe me it’s a must visit place. We were here for our wedding anniversary celebration with our 10 months infant. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Ms. Mallika hotel staff is very helpful and kind. Food is delicious. I loved the hot wine non alcoholic one was very good in taste also the buckwheat recipe and everything served to us veg as well as non veg was super yummy. Although language is a barrier here with many of their staff still everyone seemed to be very supportive and understanding. Cable car ride ticket station to Shymbulak is just at walkable distance from the hotel. Their heated pool is cherry on the cake. Highly recommend to anyone who want to visit and make their stay memorable. Thank you team Shymbulak Ski Resort for making our stay cherishable.

We enjoyed our stay at Shymbulak Resort Hotel so much! Rooms are small, but very cosy and have everything for a comfort stay. Water in swimming pool is warm and pleasant, and it was so nice to chill then in sauna. Also we enjoyed breakfast in the morning at the terrace. I recommend this hotel if you want to escape summer heat and enjoy fresh air and nature in the mountains!

Shymbulak Ski Resort is renowned for its breathtaking mountain views, extensive ski trails, and year-round activities. I choosed a dormitory accommodation and it is both comfortable and affordable, and the service provided is attentive and warm. The resort’s scenic ambience creates a dreamy atmosphere for a memorable stay, making it a top choice for adventure seekers and nature lovers alike.

Very nice hotel, comfortable bed, our room had a nice balcony with a view of the mountains. Hotel staffs are very responsive for any queries you may have. The guy at the reception was very nice and explained everything to us upon checkin and offered us discount vouchers for the ski pass. The hotel restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience with it's delicious food. The ski school is just next to the hotel with good ski instructors. We really enjoyed our stay. Will definitely come back.
