10/10 Excellent
"Excellent property at an exotic locale overlooking mountains and woods. It has a pool, a games room, a basic gym, a spa and a bonfire and love music at dinner for romantic evenings. Rooms are well designed and spacious with big bathrooms which make you at home instantly. It also is located in such a way that if one loves trekking they need not go out of the property at all. It can be explored in the vicinity. Staff is extremely courteous and caring."
