I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The surroundings are absolutely beautiful, engulfed in forest-like settings that add a nice touch of nature. However, the lack of air conditioning in the rooms can be quite uncomfortable, especially during hot days. The staff were friendly and welcoming, but the service felt a bit untrained at times. It's definitely a good place for a relaxing getaway, but a few improvements could make it outstanding.

The hotel is nestled in a tranquil forest setting, which adds a unique charm to the stay. However, the lack of air conditioning and proper ventilation in the rooms could be an issue for some guests. While the staff is friendly, they seem to struggle with providing efficient service. Overall, it's a great spot if you appreciate nature, though improvements are needed in comfort and service efficiency.

My stay at the hotel was quite serene, surrounded by beautiful forest-like surroundings that created a peaceful atmosphere. However, I did find the rooms to be lacking essential amenities like air conditioning; in fact, there wasn't even a fan. The service had its ups and downs; while the staff were very welcoming and friendly, their training seemed insufficient for handling hotel services efficiently. Overall, the value for money was reasonable, especially considering the relaxing environment, but improvements are certainly needed.

I had a lovely experience at this hotel, particularly enjoying the serene lakeside location and the clean, spacious rooms. The staff was genuinely welcoming and eager to assist, which made my stay enjoyable. However, the dining options were somewhat limited, and it would have been great if the amenities included more flexible service options. Overall, it offered good value for the price, but some improvements could make it even better.
