What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Perfect Relaxation Spot

After a long day hiking, the spa was a sanctuary for my tired muscles. The jacuzzi and steam room provided the perfect retreat, allowing me to unwind completely. I headed straight to the treatment room afterward and enjoyed a fantastic lava stone back massage that melted away all my stress. I can't recommend it highly enough!

Delicious Dining Experience

Every meal we had was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety, and I especially loved the vegetarian options that changed daily. The evening menu was equally good, with dishes prepared to perfection. It truly elevated our dining experience during our stay.

Luxurious Room Amenities

I stayed in a room that featured a four-poster bed and a jacuzzi bath, which made our stay quite romantic. The unique character of the room added to the charm, and I found the shower pressure to be incredibly refreshing. It was a good escape that made us feel pampered.

I had high hopes for this hotel based on its promises of luxury and relaxation, but sadly, it didn't quite deliver. While we enjoyed the lovely setting and cozy atmosphere, there were several maintenance issues that detracted from our experience, especially with the spa facilities and pool temperature. Dining was hit or miss, providing some good meals but with limited choices. Overall, there were enjoyable aspects, but it left room for improvement.
