I had a wonderful stay at this mountain hotel. The rooms were beautifully furnished with modern decor and a balcony offering a spectacular view of the mountains. The cozy fireplace added a special touch, but the price could be a bit high for some. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff providing room service and helpful assistance. The location high in the Estrella mountains was breathtaking, perfect for nature lovers, but keep in mind it's a bit remote. The dining experience was delightful with a great wine list, although more dining options would have been appreciated. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay truly enjoyable.
