We booked the suite which overlooked the snowy mountains and it was a stunning room! We also loved the spa area and really utilized the sauna and hot tubs. The restaurant had great food and honestly, overall our experience was amazing. I'd definitely book this hotel again!

Beautiful hotel with great interior design elements. The room wasn't huge, but it had high ceilings and big windows. The front desk staff and restaurant wait staff were well-trained, professional and polished. The restaurant was simply but elegantly designed. The food was amazing.

Actually we had some big expectation for this hotel. Last time we just drove by and said that it must be great to stay at this hotel. This time we booked it and unfortunately it wasn't so good as we where hoping for. But lets start with good things. Location... is amazing! Food, delicious. Design fabulous.

Amazing, isolated location with a view out toward the sea. I highly recommend the outside hot tubs especially while it is snowing around you.
