The staff was very welcoming and friendly our whole stay. We enjoyed the many offerings from buffet breakfast including pancakes, made to order omelettes and fresh fruit. The room was a decent size with a large bathroom and felt very private. We especially liked the balcony and could sit out in the rain to watch the birds and look down at the beautiful gardens.
It rained the whole trip but the pool bar looked fun.
The gardens were well maintained and added an enchanting touch.

The pool area has a gorgeous view looking out at the mountain and cows in a field. The rooms were nice and clean. Good breakfast selection, wish they had more juices. You do need to make breakfast reserve in advance. Multiple private jacuzzis and pools. Would stay again.
