The hotel provides a stunning location with breathtaking views and excellent spa facilities, making it a delightful getaway. While the atmosphere in the Mizu restaurant left something to be desired due to early bookings, the food was consistently praised for its quality. Some service issues during breakfast were disappointing, particularly with slow service and unresponsive staff, but overall, it's a lovely place for relaxation and pampering.

The rooms are spacious and feature wonderful amenities, but they could use a refresh as some areas felt a bit dated.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag; while the spa facilities and views are truly stunning, the rooms left much to be desired for the price we paid. The dining options at the restaurants were generally excellent, but I encountered some issues during breakfast. Overall, I appreciate the luxurious atmosphere and attentive service, but I can't help but feel there are more affordable options in the area that provide better value.
