The only positive thing about this place is the view – which you can easily enjoy from many cheaper spots in the area. The prices to stay here are extremely high, and absolutely nothing is included. You have to pay extra for food, and even the amenities like the hot tub or sauna must be booked and paid for separately. For what they charge, all you really get is a bed to sleep in. There’s nothing to do in the hotel itself or in the surrounding area. Overall, not worth the money. Additionally for an entire night we lost power. Furthermore when given the bill they add a service fee/tip and when I went to calculate the bill on my own the staff were rude making jokes about me the entire time. My original bill on Expedia was $82 cheaper so I believe it was reasonable to ask what the sudden change was and look over the “fees”.
A magical place to disconnect
Room without bathroom is a great deal, but I would pick one with a bathroom next time
Overall would highly recommend this place
Everyone was so nice and attend. Kudos to the staff that carry the luggage to the rooms. Daniel watched our luggage until the boat arrived. I chose the right place to celebrate my 30th wedding anniversary. The only hip up was that my sister and husband couldn’t stay with us because it has too many steps to reach the restaurant and rooms. Other than that it’s the ideal place for people in good health to enjoy the lake and the property.
This was the most magical place we've ever stayed. It's breathtaking, the staff is so incredibly nice and helpful. One of the best trips we've ever been on.
This property was beautiful. The location was ideal and so easy to visit the little towns around the lake by public boat. You could make it anywhere around the laje in under 10 minutes. The staff was amazing, food was great, the views were stunning. Everything had so much character. We had the best time and we'd love to go back.
The setting and ambiance is unmatched. Unbelievably beautiful, super friendly people and good vibes all around. Stairs are a fun challenge. Views are unreal. Above and beyond service. Some notes- food not great and expensive. I recommend eating out as much as possible. I wish there were a Whatsapp number I could ask small questions. The economy rooms are great but should be noted that the website says they get a private patio/balcony and that is not true. It does have a beautiful window facing the lake tho. And there are plenty of common areas with amazing views.
Overall, incredibly amazing experience. Stay a while and really soak it in.
