the location offers amazing views of the lake. The room was spacious. It featured a walk-in wardrobe and comfortable beds. The gastronomic dinner was a particular highlight, and the welcome extended even to our small dog. It was an added bonus.
i noticed , the absence of a valet service upon arrival presented a small inconvenience. We had to manage our luggage independently, somewhat unexpected given the hotel's rating.

The staff was helpful and cute. the hotel was super clean. if i left something, they would email me and send it back to me. I appreciate that. this is my second visit, and i will certainly return.
the absence of a functioning restaurant at a five-star hotel is unacceptable. there was no notice of this when i booked. the hotel's site posted restaurant hours and menus, which misled me.

Amazing stay!

lakeside locationclean facilitiesfriendly staffsmall window
I loved the lakeside location. It's away from the town but close to a local bus route, so I didn't need a car! The pool facilities were super clean and well maintained. Plus, the staff were very helpful and friendly, and the overall ambiance was wonderful.
The photos of rooms I saw were different from the room I got. The window was small. Also when going to the spa, I had to pass the garden with slippers. The entrance was sometimes muddy :(
