I recently stayed at this resort for a weekend getaway with friends, and while we had a bit of a rocky start, the overall experience turned out to be quite positive. The rooms were comfortable and well-kept, but there was a mix-up with our reservation that required us to switch accommodations. The facilities are clean and enjoyable, but dining options were limited, especially for breakfast. Overall, I was satisfied with the value for money considering the service we received.

The resort is in a great location, especially for those looking to enjoy golf nearby. It's fairly secluded, which can be both a pro and a con depending on what you're looking for.

The dining experience left a bit to be desired, especially for breakfast options, which were unfortunately very limited. It's a shame since we were looking forward to enjoying meals without having to drive far.

5.0/10

We stayed at the resort for a few nights, and while it had some redeeming qualities like cleanliness and a fairly new chalet, the overall experience fell short due to poor customer service and dining options. The golf course is the highlight here, well-maintained and beautiful, but the high membership fees coupled with closed dining facilities during parts of the week made things frustrating. It has potential but needs serious improvements.
