Guest Ratings & Reviews
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable and had a nice bed, but the lack of a microwave and refrigerator was a downside. The location was nice, offering both indoor and outdoor relaxing areas, though it wasn't as serene as expected. The service was friendly and helpful, but a significant issue was the lack of response to a refund request. Dining options varied, with good value for some dishes, but others were cold and overpriced.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful! The rooms were elegant, clean, and spacious, providing fantastic balcony and mountain views. Although a few more items like water glasses would have been handy, the refund for two nights was greatly appreciated. The service was warm and welcoming, with complimentary transportation and thoughtful gestures for our baby girl. The location was great for both singles and families, offering easy access to local attractions. The dining experience was rejuvenating, especially in the Terras restaurant. Overall, a delightful stay with excellent amenities and friendly staff.
My stay at the hotel was mixed with positives and negatives. The rooms were well-appointed but lacked cleanliness, and the staff was slow to respond to needs.

Stunning location surrounded by a desert wonderland with ample amenities. The rooms were good, but felt a bit like a bunker. The service was attentive and provided comfort during a stressful time. Dining was divine, although a bit pricey for some options.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were very clean initially, but things took a turn later in the night.
