The resort has stunning views and a good location, making it a beautiful escape. However, the dining experience fell short for me; the buffet felt outdated and the staff in the restaurant could have been more engaging. While the rooms were clean and had potential, they could benefit from some detail improvements and updates. Overall, it's a nice resort with room for enhancement.

This resort offers a truly tranquil escape with stunning mountain views and clean, comfortable chalets. The location is perfect for outdoor activities, especially hiking. However, the chalets could use some refurbishing and air conditioning, which made warm nights a bit uncomfortable. Overall, it's a great getaway for nature lovers.

My stay at the resort was quite enjoyable, with lovely views and a comfortable ambiance. The chalets were spacious and clean, providing ample room for a group. However, some areas definitely need upgrades, particularly the dining options and the outdated amenities. All in all, it's a beautiful location, but improvements are necessary for a fully satisfying experience.
