Descanso na serra
Pros:

Gostei imenso da piscina exterior, água quente. Jacuzzi no exterior fantástico, apesar que precisa de manutenção. Pequeno almoço agradável.

Cons:

Acho a experiência de banho um pouco dececionante, chuveiro fraco. Para o hotel que é, merecia melhor. Achei o buffet um pouco pobre para o custo por pessoa. Sugiro também criarem uma plataforma junto às rochas à frente da piscina, para momentos de meditação ou descanso. Ouvir a água naquele espaço tem um potencial incrível
