Very nice hotel in a beautiful location. Food is ok not super but good. Look for the offers because the normal price is not worth it. Much needs replacing. Hotel is dated but clean and hygienic

We were a group of 10 people visited in September 2025. We really enjoyed the friendliness and great service of the staff. The food was great. We had a birthday on the 16th and after asking if we can have a birthday cake, the staff went out of their way to bake us a delicious cake without any charges. The room was neat and tidy, and we enjoyed the golf as well as the hiking trails. We will definitely be back.

Great location with magnificent views. Meals and facilities really good. Spoke to a guest during our stay, who is a pastor from England. He said that he had never seen a more spectacular area, complete with the chapel to get married at.
