This resort spa offers a beautiful setting in the mountains with breathtaking views. The rooms are spacious and clean, providing a comfortable stay. While the staff is attentive, the dining could use some improvement, especially the breakfast selections. The amenities are decent, and it feels like a good value for what you get, despite a few minor letdowns.

I had a lovely stay at this resort nestled in the mountains. The views from my room were just breathtaking, and it felt incredibly serene being surrounded by nature. However, while the service was good, it could improve in responsiveness. The dining options were excellent, especially for breakfast, but I'd like to see a bit more variety. Overall, a great experience at a reasonable price.
