Amazing staff, delicious buffet breakfast included, beautiful surroundings, and great location
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.
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.
Great shower, hot and strong pressure. The view from the room balcony is gorgeous and they have a great selection of food at breakfast, even for vegetarians like me.
Nice view, friendly staff. Decent rooms but poorly lit bathrooms and poor quality TVs. Gets dark out early so would have been nice to have a little bit of TV available later in the evening. The property looks better in pictures.
