Really beautiful property but rotate your bedding, fully equip your cottages with digital amenties.
Pros:

Breakfast is very good. Get some real umbrellas for the tables outside or erect a proper sun shade system. No way people can sit out there comfotrtably in the summer in direct sunlight (high altitude sun is brutal)

Cons:

Two entrees at Yova were poor, other food was very good. Lobster Fettucine Mariana had too much wine and not burned off sufficiently. The four cheese Mac was literally tasteless, despite four cheeses. Also food took way too long to get.

The mattress is our cottage was seriously sagging, ruined a night of sleep, almost ruined our trip. Mattress needed to be flipped but that wasnt sufficient, fortunately we were able to use the second bedroom the second night.

My card key timed out the morning I was checking out locking me out of my cottage while packing my car. No reason for this, put a buffer time on the card, instead of treating your customers like they are staying at a Motel 8.

While I get get the disconnect and relax vibe, but add some TVs in the rooms. Older folks and disabled folks sometimes need to rest inside with a better distraction than staring at the walls. It's not a glamping experience, its a $900/night resort.

Nice place, absolutely shockingly bad staff.
Pros:

The pool was really, nice as were the grounds.

Cons:

The majority of the staff we encountered were rude and when issues with our stay were pointed out argumentative rather than solutions oriented.

Hôtel très agréable et reposant avec de belles prestations
Pros:

Tout était parfait, nous avons apprécié la piscine chauffée pour se détendre en fin de journée, le magasin de l'hôtel est très fourni on y trouve tout ce qu'il faut

Cons:

Rien, juste à savoir qu'il n'y a pas de TV dans les chambres mais pas très grave car on y va pour la belle nature et le wifi marche très bien.

It was a great experience over all, I’d definitely come back. The things I didn’t havei can be more prepared next time I
Pros:

The property was amazing! More than I anticipated, property is beautiful. Kids were well entertained. Lots of activities to keep my kids busy and enjoyed the stay just as much. The amenities were excellent.

They have horse riding that was so fun staff very friendly and very experienced.
We only stayed two nights and had a great time.

Cons:

Bikes were first come first serve. Customers used to ride to their cabin and parked there, no standard rules for return time. We didn’t get the opportunity to ride bikes.
Restaurant only offered pool service And Complimentary water one night only. Restaurants menu is limited. Overpriced for what was offered. The resort is kid friendly but food did not a match for a kid friendly environment. I ordered separate items to make it work. Being the options for restaurants are few in the area, it would be nice to have some basics as well as fine dining food.

Store items really over priced that didn’t make sense A sticker was 5$ each, while a stuffed animal was 15$
