During my stay, I found the hotel tucked away in the tea plantations, giving a peaceful feel but quite far from the city center and other dining options. The breakfast was quite impressive with a variety of options, and the service was exemplary throughout my visit. However, I did experience some issues with the room, particularly the ceiling fan and the lack of a screen on the balcony door, which allowed flies to invade. Overall, a mixed experience with both highlights and areas needing attention.

I had a wonderful stay at this picturesque hotel in the mountains. The suite I stayed in was absolutely gorgeous, and I loved the hot cocoa welcome. The dinner was truly delicious, especially the fish and mixed meat dishes. However, the hot water in the bathroom was a bit inconsistent, which was a drawback.

The rooms were wonderfully spacious and immaculate, making it a perfect retreat. The service was top-notch, and the dining was spectacular, although a more extensive breakfast buffet could have added to the experience.
