Overall this was a great Property for my family. We are a family of 4, we had a cozy 2 bedroom unit, complete with sitting area and backyard. The second bedroom had 2 twin beda which was great for the boys not having to share a bed. Things to note...the hotel is up on a mountain, you need a sturdy vehicle to do the drive. Once we got in for the evening we did not leave because the drive up is a bit difficult un the dark. There is a restaurant and bar, we had dinner there every night. There were a few instances in which certain items were not available, but everything we did order was excellent, Chef Daniel was great in the kitchen. The unit was very basic, no tv, no AC, no coffee maker or microwave. Being up in the mountains, it got cooler in the evening so we were ok with just the fan. We enjoyed our stay, Gigi and the staff were very friendly, they went out of their way to make us feel welcomed.

The views were spectacular, and the pools were very pleasant. The restaurant was wonderful. We were there at a hot time of the year and there was no A/C, but plenty of fans and shade. Be aware that the road up is rough.
