nice stay among the mountains

friendly staffmountain viewcold room
The location was great for accessing hiking trails. the staff was helpful and friendly . they upgraded us to a mountain view villa with comfortable accommodations and beautiful scenery. the sultan tent also looked amazing. I would have been happy there as well.
the resort was located in a colder area, and i found the room to be quite chilly. even with the heating unit running, it struggled to warm the space adequately. it made for a slightly uncomfortable night, though not unmanageable.
