I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. The location was beautiful, offering stunning views of the surrounding trees and one of the swimming pools, but it felt isolated from nearby attractions. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff making our stay special, but the rooms were a bit damp and distant from the main facilities, leading to long walks. The dining experience was excellent, providing a variety of high-quality food options, especially in the breakfast buffet.

The hotel offers breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding forests from the fifth-floor rooms. While the preparation time was a bit slow, the floor-to-ceiling windows provide an incredible experience. However, the service fell short in some aspects despite the beautiful nature dance executed at the location.

My stay at the hotel was a delightful mix of nature sightings and minor inconveniences. The rooms, though spacious and well-equipped, had some unexpected guests like ants and mosquitoes. The hotel's unique integration into the rock formations added a fascinating touch to the experience, but the insect visitors were a downside.

On our second night, the room was painfully dark, requiring me to use my phone torch even during the day to find my belongings in the suitcase, and the proximity to the A/C unit made it really noisy. The hotel is situated through the forest towards the lake, offering a unique setting with some drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, though small, was surprisingly comfortable. However, it lacked the promised mountain view and some basic amenities like bathrobes. The location was remote but peaceful, ideal for relaxation, yet not convenient for exploring nearby. The dining experience was exceptional with a delicious and diverse buffet spread. Overall, a stay with both highlights and drawbacks.
