“Shymbulak Resort Hotel places you right on the slopes, a true ski-in/ski-out experience that's hard to beat, and I think that alone makes it worthwhile. The views are undeniably stunning, and there's something special about being in what's essentially the highest mountain park in the world. While dining options might be limited to the on-site restaurant, the overall convenience and access to the mountain's activities certainly compensate.”
