Had an excellent stay here in November for our honeymoon. Check in was friendly and we were greeted with cool towels and a cold drink which was lovely after a long drive. The hotel has incredible value with thermal spa. Our room was beautiful and clean. We enjoyed the breakfast every morning at the on site restaurant, one thing I will note is that there were not a lot of vegan options for breakfast and the espresso machine did not have a non dairy option. However, the servers were very accommodating and made me a separate coffee and got me avocado so I could make avocado toast which was very nice. We also really enjoyed having dinner at the restaurant at the thermal spa and the cocktails at the thermal spa were incredible as well. Overall, incredible hotel, we can’t wait to return one day!

The location is gorgeous, thermal springs are plentiful and very refreshing. The staff are very pleasant and welcoming. The complimentary breakfast is is excellent with a wide variety of foods to choose from. The only issue I have is that dining choices at the restaurants are very limited.
