I had a lovely stay at this hotel, with clean and modern rooms that were really comfortable. The location was also quite convenient, nestled in the mountains with beautiful views. While the service was decent, it could have been a bit more attentive. The dining options, especially for breakfast, were somewhat limited, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, I found it to offer good value for money, but there's definitely room for improvement.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, with clean and comfortable accommodations and a welcoming atmosphere. The amenities were great, and I particularly enjoyed the spacious pool area. However, the dining options could use some improvement, as I found the breakfast to be a bit lacking. Overall, it offered good value for money, but the Wi-Fi should really be included instead of charged separately.

The hotel is in a beautiful mountain spot, offering stunning views and a peaceful retreat. The rooms are spacious and modern, making for a comfortable stay. However, the dining experience leaves something to be desired, as options are quite limited. The facilities, especially the pool, are well-kept but could use a little more variety. Overall, it's a decent value for the money, but a few tweaks could elevate the experience.
