Traveller reviews

“a comfortable and restful one night stay in a top-end hotel”
06 Apr 2025
Dinner was excellent, allergies catered for and delicious (5 course tasting menu). Extensive buffet breakfast, catering to all sizes of appetite. Very pleasant attentive and interested staff.

“Lovely place but I wouldn’t describe it as a 5-star resort.”

It’s a lovely place but I wouldn’t describe it as a 5-star resort. Upon arrival we were told that the spa had no availability for the duration of our stay, and when we enquired about the hot pools, we were told that they were closed following the pandemic and hadn’t been re-opened again, which isn’t mentioned in the description. When we got to our room, our coffee machine leaked hot water all over the counter-top and floor when we tried to use it - I would like to note that this was changed for a new one that evening. We had to return glasses to the bar and plates and bowls to the breakfast counter because they were dirty and there were (what looked like) dead bird feathers stuck to our balcony door. The bedroom and bathroom were clean. The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious, the bathroom was a decent size and the balcony was a really nice addition - it’s so peaceful, you can hear the birds. There was ample amounts of shampoo, body wash and conditioner, as well as a number of towels. The food was okay and we liked that the booking included a 5-course tasting menu as well as breakfast the next day, although we were disappointed that there were no alternative options for coffee other than the coffee machine. The location was great, it was only a short distance from the glacier, as well as a supermarket and petrol station. In conclusion - I wouldn’t be adverse to staying here again, however I did not feel as though it was worth the money, nor would I say that it’s a 5-star resort.

“Awesome”

“Good stop over.”
19 Feb 2025
The breakfast was excellent. Staff in the breakfast room were very polite and found me a teapot. Dinner was good, the waiter was a bit keen to clear away the plates, I still had a mouthful of food and he practically pounced to remove my plate as soon as I laid my cutlery down. He was friendly just a bit keen.
