Our room and views were incredible, loved having our own spa onlooking the mountains. However the hospitality of the staff was a little lacking for 5 star accomodation and the restaurant seemed fitting for 10 years ago, but not nearly up to todays standards.

The deluxe spa suite was amazing. Gas fire and hot tub on the balcony really made it a luxury experience. His and hers sinks and showers in the bathroom as well as a large jacuzzi bath. The restaurant was very poor for dinner, long wait for food, all guest we saw were unhappy with the steak and our food was served cold. The waiters did their best to manage everyone’s discontent. The buffet breakfast was great though. Would definitely recommend a visit but make dinner plans off site.

When we arrived we were greeted by staff at reception, nice greeting. Got our key card went to room and the card didnt work. Had to go back to reception and have it loaded properly. Got inside room and looked around. Shower wasnt very clean still soap on the dispensers. Went to have a spa and there was brown floatys and white stuff on top of water floating looked like dead skin. Turned on the gas fire and the room stunk of gas after 20 minutes of use lucky the heat pump worked, the gas fire wouldnt turn off properly and still had a flame. Went out of room for dinner and come back and still stunk of gas. Overall the place was nice but couldnt use outside spa due to it being filthy. Inside spa bath was nice. Would J come back... Yes if there was improvements on the cleaning. Breakfast was nice. Staff were very friendly.
