Fantastic Grounds!

During my stay, I was amazed by the beautiful grounds featuring walking paths, tennis courts, and even lovely gardens with koi fish. It was such a joy to wander around and see the local wildlife, especially the colorful birds. Plus, the tranquility of the area was perfect for both relaxation and fresh air activities.

Delicious Breakfast!

I enjoyed the complimentary breakfast which was excellent! The fresh fruit plate was delightful, and I loved the option to have eggs cooked to my liking. Every meal at the hotel felt well-prepared and satisfying. It's a great way to kick off a day of exploring.

Relaxing Indoor Pool

I finally got a chance to check out the indoor pool, and it was a very relaxing experience. Although I initially thought it was a bit far from my room, the pool area itself was beautifully designed. Swimming there felt peaceful, and it was lovely to unwind after a day of hikes.
