Awesome quiet spot on the lake, perfect if you have a car to get you around to the local spots. Airport 5 mins away, lovely staff that had all the intel on the what-to-dos. Jacuzzi and massages were a bonus

Staff were not warm or friendly. Room was dirty - showers were yellow and worn. There is no way this is a 4 star property. You can see how it might have been in the past but it certainly is not now.

The staff and location were great! However I would not necessarily call this a “resort” but it’s a nice hotel and it does the job! Quiet area but the walls are thin so you’ll hear your neighbor occasionally. Pool is not heated but there is a spa and sauna if you need it. Would recommend as a hotel but not as a resort.

The pictures on the advert is nothing close to what the property was like,boring is the word i would use. You can see the that the property is not a busy one as the garden wasnt done. No room cleaning only new towels were left. I specified 2 separate beds but I was given a double. They did rectify the mistake. There is nothing special about this place and i definitely will not be returning.
