Our stay had its highlights, mainly the beautiful views and spacious accommodation, but there were some issues that need addressing. While the kitchen was well-stocked and the fireplace added charm, the mattresses were too hard for comfort. Noise disturbances from neighboring units and early morning maintenance disrupted our peace, and some facilities felt neglected. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but several improvements are definitely needed.
