I had a pretty nice stay at this resort. The rooms are clean and come with stunning views of the hills which is a big plus. However, the service could use some improvement, especially in terms of communication about facility timings. The location is serene and picturesque, but getting a ride can be a hassle since it's quite remote. Overall, it offers good value for money for those looking to escape the city hustle, but there's room for improvement.
