The hotel offers breathtaking views and a unique outdoor spa experience, perfect for those looking to unwind in nature. However, service and dining left much to be desired, as staff seemed untrained and food quality was inconsistent. While the location is stunning, the overall facilities and management need significant improvement to justify a 4-star rating.

The hotel is situated in a breathtaking location with magnificent views. The architecture is impressive and there's a great outdoor spa experience, particularly the jacuzzi. However, the hotel is let down by dated features, inconsistent service, and some cleanliness issues. It feels like it has so much potential that is currently unfulfilled.

I had a wonderful time at the hotel, especially enjoying the breathtaking views and the cozy ambiance. The suite was spacious and modern, however, the service left something to be desired—especially at the restaurant. There were issues with flies on the balcony and the Wi-Fi was spotty, but overall, the experience was enjoyable.

The hotel offers breathtaking panoramic views and a unique outdoor spa experience which was a highlight of my stay. The atmosphere is cozy, especially with the inviting common areas like the fireplace. However, the building feels dated, and the staff could be more engaged during our visit. Overall, it has great potential but needs significant improvements to fully realize it.

The hotel is situated in a stunning location with breathtaking views that enhance the overall experience. However, the condition of the hotel and the level of service leave much to be desired, making it feel more like a 3-star establishment rather than the 4-star experience it professes to offer. The facilities have potential, but they are not well-maintained and the dining service is quite disappointing.
