Fantastic hilltop views and large clean units. Felt a bit dated and there were a few small issues - jacuzzi tub not functional “due to unavailable parts” (according to the note). Very delicious food in the restaurant. I’d stay again - especially if I had some friends with us. But beware - there is a very challenging drive up to the property.
