I recently enjoyed a stay at this hotel which offered a stunning view and a peaceful atmosphere. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the additional amenities like the hot tub were a nice touch. However, the dining experience was quite lacking, especially for those looking for more diverse breakfast options. Overall, the stay was pleasant but not without its shortcomings, especially regarding service and some facilities.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel! The atmosphere feels cozy and more like a cabin in the woods than a typical hotel. The views from my room's balcony were breathtaking, providing a perfect escape. However, I found the amenities lacking, and the breakfast didn't quite meet my expectations for a resort. All in all, it was an excellent choice for relaxation and I would definitely recommend it.
