The hotel boasts stunning views of a beautiful lake and a peaceful setting, ideal for relaxation. The rooms can be disappointing, especially if you end up in the loft-style accommodation, which is inconvenient. While the buffet is enjoyable, with great service from the manager, there are issues with Wi-Fi accessibility and restaurant service timing. Overall, it offers a unique experience, but there are significant areas for improvement.
