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.

Overall, it offers good value for money for those looking to escape the city hustle, but there's room for improvement.
