Relaxing Thermal Pool

During my stay, I absolutely fell in love with the large hot springs pool. It was incredibly soothing to soak in its warm waters, providing much-needed relaxation after a hike. The thermal pool was well-maintained and inviting, making it a perfect retreat during my vacation.

Spacious Honeymoon Suite

I enjoyed a fantastic stay in the honeymoon suite, which was spacious, clean, and incredibly comfortable. The whirlpool in the suite added a romantic touch to our experience, and it was wonderful to unwind after a full day of exploring the beautiful surroundings.

Comfortable and Cozy

The bed in my room was quite comfortable, allowing for a restful night's sleep. While I noticed the pillows could have been thicker for better neck support, overall, the room setup was cozy and inviting. It made my nighttime retreat very pleasant.

Pleasant Dinner Experience

We had one nice dinner at the resort, and I was pleased with the quality of the food. The ambiance was nice, and while the prices were a bit higher than expected for the area, the experience was still enjoyable and the meal satisfying.

The hotel is situated in a stunning mountain valley with beautiful natural hot springs, which was definitely a highlight. The property itself is gorgeous and rustic, but the dining options fell short with limited choices and uneven service. It's a captivating escape, but the restaurant experience and lack of room amenities could be improved significantly.
