10/10 Excellent
"The family suite was an absolute dream for us. The view was breathtaking, and having two separate rooms provided both comfort and privacy, it is very ideal for parents and kids to sleep separately like our family. We also loved their attention to cleanliness. The towels and slippers were stored in sanitizing cabinets that use UV light to disinfect them. They provided delicious welcome fruits and snacks and continued providing it everyday The food was simply amazing, everything was prepared with the freshest ingredients and was incredibly delicious. On top of that, the prices were very reasonable for dinner, our breakfast was included. The biggest highlight was the staff. They truly treat us like family, and they make every guest feel right at home. We were especially touched when they offered to wash all of our clothes, even though we didn’t return to the hotel until 8 to 9 pm. They washed everything for us and dried then folded the clothes, which was thoughtful and unexpected. Their warmth in the hospitality made our stay unforgettable. This is 120% recommended, a stay we will remember for many years to come"
