I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is absolutely breathtaking and serene, making it a great escape. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to help, but the rooms were quite basic and unfortunately, I struggled with the noise from the rain pounding on the roof. The dining options left something to be desired, and while the accommodations were clean, they lacked sufficient amenities.
