Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was stunning, nestled in the mountains, but the service fell short of expectations. The rooms were comfortable and had a great view, although the Wi-Fi was a bit spotty. Dining was satisfactory, but the hotel lacks some facilities expected for the price.
I couldn't have asked for a better stay. The hotel is nestled in the mountains, offering breathtaking views and easy access to local trails. The room was cozy with a mountain view, clean, and the WiFi worked like a charm. The service, though, left much to be desired, with the staff seeming disinterested and even rude when we needed to adjust our reservation. The dining experience, however, was top-notch with delicious daily fresh fish. A bit on the pricier side, but the value for money was justifiable considering the location and amenities.
I couldn't have asked for a better stay at this hotel! The mesmerizing views of the sunset were absolutely breathtaking, but unfortunately, the rooms faced an obstructed view of the mountains. The service left much to be desired, especially compared to the excellent standards set by the housekeeping team. However, the location nestled in the mountains was nothing short of a fairytale, making it worth the stay. The included dining experience was satisfying, catering to my cravings for juicy burgers.
