The staff are so impressive. They are great. Everyone. Van ensured our stay was incredible and made a surprise Valentine Day breakfast that was outstanding. The "van"cakes were ufff, so yummy. The grounds of this "motel" are amazing. The vegetation makes it so calm. Highly recommended. I already miss that pool.
This place is magical. From booking to check-in, arrival, meals, drinks, etc. the service is personal and exceptional. The rooms are are great and the patios really make them special. The grounds are beautiful, it feels like stepping into a different world that must have taken 50+ years to grow, and various areas perfectly suit healing activities. And the waters are fantastic!
If you are looking for a quiet, tranquil place do not look elsewhere. Amazing hot tub and pool under the shadows of beautiful trees, sun passes thru the leafs and branches of the trees and gives you this amazing poetic feeling, amazing food by the very nice chef. Great stuff with genuine smile and kind energy. We had the couple massage which was out of this world. Very nice stay over all
We did a day pass here. Next time would probably stay in the hotel too. It was so relaxing. The hosts were very welcoming and lovely. Had some food and drinks at the pool, freshest ingredients and chill vibes. There was a hot pool at 103-105 and another at 90-something. Both were great. No sulfur smell.
