I had high hopes for this hotel, given its charming location surrounded by nature. Unfortunately, my experience was marred by cleanliness issues in the rooms and facilities. The pool area was nice, but the service there was lacking. On a positive note, the half-board dining option had a good variety of food, and the staff in the restaurant were much more attentive compared to the pool area.

My stay at the hotel was a delightful experience, offering spacious and comfortable accommodations along with a tranquil atmosphere. The staff went out of their way to ensure we felt welcomed, though I found the a la carte dining options to be a bit underwhelming. The beautiful grounds added to the charm, but some facilities, like the hot tubs, were not as clean as they'd ideally be. Overall, it was very enjoyable, especially for those looking to relax in a peaceful setting.
