The place was nicer than expected. Service was excellent and always with a smile. Dinner food was so good. The breakfast spread was also one of the best. We had a wonderful stay and we will definitely go back.

So the view from the hotel is nice, but the bathroom was not super clean when we arrived. There was hair on the bathroom walls which was kind of gross.
The staff were some nice, some so and so and some were rude. The nice ones were helpful when we wanted to book the restaurant at the hotel, the so and so brought us the coffee at the breakfast so late that we finished our breakfast by then and the rude ones I asked them after I left to check if my reading glasses were left in my room and they kept telling me that they will keep me informed about it and still waiting for their news. They just told me at the phone they cannot help me while it is quite simple to ask their cleaning staff if a pair of glasses was left in the room. Per total the experience turned into an unpleasant one because of the latter interaction, but there were a few nice people who should not be blamed for it. Also another unpleasant thing is that they say the relaxing pool is open until 9pm but at 7pm they start to clean it so obviously you cannot swim outdoors after 7. We were given the option to swim inside which was thoughtful but why advertise something untrue?

Amazing hotel A++++
Amazing hotel, on the top of our favourite list. The staff cannot do enough for you and the service is impeccable. Spotlessly clean with plenty to do if required with lots of areas to drift away too.

The facilities were wonderful! Be warned that the parking garage is tight to get in and out of the spaces but everything else was magical. The resort is very thoughtfully put together, with different pools, great food (and coffee!) and services. All in all a wonderful place to stay with great views of the lake.
