I recently stayed at this hotel, and while it has a beautiful natural setting with stunning views, the rooms were quite cramped and didn't offer much in terms of amenities like a refrigerator. The staff were friendly and took care of my needs, but the location was a bit tricky since it's not the best if you're just looking for an overnight stay. Overall, it has potential but there are definitely areas for improvement.

The hotel is in a nice area with great views, but it's not ideal if you just want a simple night stay since it's only accessible by car. The rooms are clean but on the smaller side and can be quite noisy.

Overall, I found it to be decent value for money considering the amenities available.
