Disappointing Stay in a beautiful resort
The stay was an utter disappointment. Very very noisy guests, loud music, screaming and shouting and loud parties. Impossible to relax and enjoy the mountains. Some guests were even driving up and down with music blasting from their cars. Check in was good and security at the gate very friendly. Depending on your unit you have to carry your luggage from your car a fair distance to the chalet. They should get golf carts to assist with this. The resort should really clamp down on noisy guests day and night.

Cockroaches and spiders
Within 15 min of checking in our cottage, we found 3 monster cockroaches roaming around the kitchen, bathroom and entrance. There were also big spiders in their web, which means the cottage hadn’t been properly cleaned before we checked in. Furniture was broken, there was no AC and the bedroom ceiling fans hardly ventilated the room, so It was very hard to sleep comfortably at night. For a 4 star resort, this was below average for my expectations. Check out time was 10am, we asked for an 11 am check out and reception agreed. At 09:30 am, the housekeeper was standing outside our cottage, watching us, waiting for us to leave. I had to go speak to her to tell her we were not leaving until 11 am. She was stunned and appeared to not know what to do. I had to tell her 3 times that we were not leaving the room for another hour and a half.

heavenly location shadows all other aspects
This is a classic location, location, location resort. Not that its other aspects are bad. The cottages are really nice and comfortable, but the location is so amazing that everything else is shadowed by it. We enjoyed a lot both the horse riding session and the walk to the nearby falls. The only weak spot is the food. Resisting buffets (which did not seem too tempting), we had to eat all our meals (which were pretty mediocre) in the charmless cafe. One night we ordered steaks which came out too done and tasteless. The two of us who protested, received excellent steaks as replacement - and I wonder why one needs to protest in order to receive good food. Other than the food, I would give it 5 stars, so perhaps this is ideal for self catering families.
