Staff was great. Very friendly and helpful. Restaurant’s dinner was great both nights. Well worth the price. Rooms don’t have a lot of cross ventilation or screens so using the aircon was needed. Bed wasn’t the most comfy but that’s low on the importance list.

The chalet was spacious and clean but old. We enjoyed the activities there. The office staff was very hard to get in touch with and didn’t communicate well at all.
