I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, while basic, offered stunning views of the mountains and soaring birds. The cleanliness was good but could use some remodeling. The service was exceptional in ensuring I had a great weekend, although slightly pushy with tours. The location was convenient for local attractions but noisy in the mornings. The dining experience was a la carte and fresh but lacked prompt replenishing. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory with room for improvement.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms had an amazing view of the Lasta mountains from the spectacular balcony on the second floor, but the early morning noise from the courtyard carpark was quite disruptive.

While the dining options were basic, the freshly prepared food was enjoyable. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor inconveniences.
