Our stay was a delightful escape, marked by exceptional service and stunning surroundings. The accommodations were luxurious, providing comfort and elegance, and the dining experience was superb, particularly appreciated for its gourmet offerings. However, some aspects of the service during peak times felt rushed, affecting the overall ambiance. Nonetheless, we would definitely recommend this haven for anyone looking to unwind amidst nature.
