I had a lovely stay at the resort spa, which was beautifully warm and very clean. The staff was incredibly friendly and always ready to help. However, the dining experience left a lot to be desired, and some of the amenities were lacking in the kitchen. Overall, it's a cozy place but improvements in the dining would make it even better.

I had a mostly enjoyable stay at the resort. The rooms were beautifully warm and very clean, which made it easy to relax after a long day. The service was a mixed bag; while some staff were super nice, there was one who seemed a bit grumpy. The location is ideal for anyone who loves nature, but the dining experience left something to be desired, particularly with the limited menu options. Overall, the value for money was decent, but it could use some improvements in the dining area.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. The rooms were clean and very comfortable, which I appreciated. However, I was unsettled by the presence of insects, which was not mentioned when I booked. The staff were really helpful, and the location was simply stunning, set high in the mountains with breathtaking views. On the downside, the dining options were quite limited and not very tasty for the price. Overall, while it has some great aspects, there are areas that could definitely be improved.

My stay at the resort was a mix of highlights and a few drawbacks. The location is absolutely breathtaking, nestled in the mountains with stunning views. The rooms are warm and very clean, but I encountered some pesky insects during my stay. Service was top-notch, with staff always ready to help at a moment's notice. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, as the food was quite tasteless and not worth the money. Overall, it's a perfect spot for nature lovers, but I wish the dining options were better.
