Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and offered great views and direct access to the lake, which was fantastic. However, the dining options were a bit limited, and the location, although beautiful by the lake, lacked some nearby amenities.
Staying at this hotel was a wonderful experience overall. The rooms, although facing the lit area and being a bit noisy due to the jetty, were clean, comfortable, and spacious with a fantastic bathroom setup. The service was friendly and accommodating, making our stay very pleasant. The location, while off the beaten path, offered a calm and relaxing atmosphere perfect for a vacation. The dining options, though not extensive, provided good quality food that exceeded our expectations. The facilities were well-appointed, contributing to a satisfying stay.
Staying at this hotel was an incredible experience! The rooms were spacious, beautifully designed, and had stunning views in all directions, making it perfect for a family of four. The location by the lake was magnificent, offering amazing views and unique overwater bungalows. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff ensuring a comfortable stay. However, dining options could be improved for the price paid.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms, although not lake-facing, were very private and well-equipped with great bathrooms, fantastic beds, and plenty of lounge space both inside and on the private terraces. The service was exceptional, with lovely staff who were dedicated to ensuring a wonderful stay. The location on the lake provided stunning views and easy access to public transport to the city center. The dining experience was satisfactory but a bit pricey for what was offered. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall enjoyment of the stay.
The hotel offers beautifully appointed spacious rooms with a large bathroom, providing a superbly relaxing place to stay. The service is professional with a willingness to accommodate special requests. The location is calm and perfect for a relaxed vacation or business trip, although it is far from the lake shore. The dining experience offers amazing meals but at a high price point. The facilities are modern and convenient.
