"An absolute bliss, even better and more blissful than the pictures. We absolutely loved every minute out of it with our family and stayed 2 nights. Staff was lovely except the kitchen one who couldn't really bother and couldn't get our order right even after 3 times every time we ate there (4 times in 2 days). Room are super spacious and clean, and you have this wonderful feeling being surrounding by the mountains, the pool and jacuzzi are big and so enjoyable, food is great once you are being served what you ordered! There are many areas with chairs and couches so you a sit, read, relax, star gaze. We can't wait to be back and hope all will be improved with the kitchen. Thanks again!"

"This place was amazing. The host was great and responsive. I wish I could have stayed longer because it was so relaxing. I would definitely stay again in the future. It is great for couples too. The host did say there weren't a lot of food options close by which is so true. Grab some things before you check in. The store at the front is so cute. If you want a drink or to make a cocktail, sit outside and relax, the store is perfect for that."
