The most important part of sleeping for me are the pillows. Their pillows were like cotton balls like you had nothing under your head which hurt my neck throughout the night. What I did was I folded up my thick hoodie and used it as my pillow. In terms of the food that you'll buy from the restaurant, the taste was excellent.

1. Stained on our bed and have some scents. But it was attended right away. Bed sheet replaced. 2. Some hairs on the bed. 3. The curtain is too short; it doesn’t cover the whole window and we have a room on ground floor.
Stain and smells
Few hairs on the bed. This is just one of them.

There was a golf tournament going on and staff were very abrupt about our check in. Our room was in need of updating and we had probably the only room with a tiny window — not impressed!!

Book a chalet vs a room. No curtain on one window. Shower pressure wasn’t good. Washed dishes left in dishwasher. Chalet was fairly large and pretty quiet. It was reasonably clean. Lacking in basic stuff for cooking and heating/air conditioner never worked. On site restaurant is very good.
