My stay at the hotel had both ups and downs. The location is stunning, with views of the water and mountains, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. However, the service was lacking, and the dining experience was quite expensive with long wait times. Overall, it had potential, but there are definitely areas needing improvement.

We enjoyed our stay in the Chefs Suite, which was themed beautifully around cuisine, and it felt very comfortable, especially with the wood-burning fireplace and impressive bathroom facilities. However, we noticed that some areas of the hotel, particularly others we looked at, seemed dated and in need of a refresh. Overall, the stunning views and clean accommodations make it worth considering a return visit, despite some issues.
