I had an unforgettable stay surrounded by lush nature and breathtaking views of the lake. The staff went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed, and the atmosphere was incredibly peaceful, perfect for relaxation. However, I did feel that having mesh screens on the windows would enhance the experience by allowing fresh air while keeping pesky insects out. Overall, it was excellent value for money!
