We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel! The ambiance was perfect for our honeymoon, and the thermal hot springs were the highlight of our visit. The staff was professional and helpful, though not overly chatty. The location provides stunning views and the private hot springs just for hotel guests were amazing. However, the dining prices were a bit on the high side, and we wished the breakfast was served on-site instead of a short drive away.
