I had a wonderful stay with a unique experience surrounded by lush tea hills. The rooms were spacious, clean, and came with a lovely balcony. The outdoor dining by the pool was quite memorable, although the service could use a bit more attention at times. While everything was pretty great, it wasn't ideal because the Wi-Fi seemed a bit shaky during my visit.

My stay was quite pleasant overall. The hotel is beautifully set amidst lush greenery, offering a peaceful escape that I truly enjoyed. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, while the service was impeccable, making everything seamless. However, the dining experience felt a bit lacking in creativity, which was a slight letdown. Additionally, the location, although stunning, might be a bit off for those wanting quick access to the city center.
