  : The breakfast was great, also in the evening restaurant has a nice barbecue. A lot of space with tennis courts and paddle
  : The swimming pool was closed . There was no change of towels the next day and our bin was no emptied and since we had it full with trash and diapers from the baby etc we had to do it ourselves. Not what I expect from a 3 star hotel.

  : Lovely place in the hills with some of the most incredible hosts. The world doesnt host like they do (so kind, personable, organized, generous, helpful) The room was spotless with plenty to read, tastefully decorated: modest with an artsy twist.
  : Only that I couldnt stay longer

  : Nice setting.Pool.Free parking.
  : No WiFi. Poor illumination. Difficult to get to.The restaurant food & service was very good but on the expensive side.Hotel wise, the bedroom was located on the lower ground floor right in the corner. WiFi is not routinely provided here but when requested, it was of little use because the signal did not reach our room: it barely reached the outdoor terraced dining area. It only covered the hotel reception area which was locked up for most of the day so even guests could not easily get to it. You could download (via WiFi) what you needed if you stood behind the locked glass door at the top of the stairs in front of the reception area. The rbedoom was spacious but there was no window to the main bedroom area meaning that I couldn't even get data signal from my phone. Illumination is very limited and the entire hotel seems to be set on a "dim romantic" light setting. There is a swimming pool on-site (you are given entry cards to gain access to it) but you have to bring your own (or hotel) towels. Those cards apparently also provide access to a local beach by a lake {10 minutes drive) but we did not visit there. To drive to the hotel (which part of a big private area), you have to inform the guard located just off the main road (CM-200) that you have a reservation with the hotel & show them your passports before they will raise the barrier to grant access. The hotel is another 5 minutes drive uphill from there.I believe one of the main issues with this hotel is the lack of staffing. The 2 people who were working behind the reception desk in the afternoon were also the ones waiting on guests in the restaurant outside later on.This hotel can be much more but the operational aspect currently adopted limits the goals it can achieve.I think the restaurant and the pool are mainly used by locals - which is fine. However, as a hotel, it does not seem to accommodate international guests too well. The hotel staff speak limited English but try hard.
