Értékelte @eatdrinkandbekerry: I stayed here for a weekend recharge and was blown away. The mountain views from my balcony were incredible, and the heated mineral pool is a total dream. It feels like a private hideaway but with amazing service. Highly recommend for a romantic trip.

“I'd love to request a top-floor 'Scenic Room Balcony' for the best privacy and views. If possible, a corner room away from the stairwell would be amazing for a quiet sleep.”

5 dolog, amit tudnod kell az utazás előtt
💡The walls are original brick/block from the 80s, so you might hear your neighbor's shower.
💡The 'mountain view' can sometimes be obscured by mist (it is a rainforest, after all).
💡Parking is free but can get tight if the hotel is fully booked.
💡There are actual peacocks roaming the grounds (hence 'Peacock O'clock').
💡Reception hours are limited, so don't expect 24/7 concierge service.
