Sensationell!
Pros:

Außergewöhnliche Lage mit Panorama Blick oben auf dem Lodge Gelände!
Unterkunft war sauber, modern und exklusives Bad mit Dusche! Ebenso war das Essen am Abend hervorragend und das Frühstück auch top und sehr lecker!! Besonders aufmerksam war das Personal und die nette Geste am Abend während des Essens uns die Betten durch Warmflasche wohlig vorzubereiten, da die Temperaturen nachts stark fallen! Auch der Ofen wurde auf unseren Wunsch hin, angemacht! In unserem schonen großen Zimmer erwartete uns sogar
Netter Willkommensgruß in Form eines Likörs, den wir dankbar annahmen , nach unserer abenteuerlichen Auffahrt Über den atemberaubenden steinigen Sani-Pass!!! Ein Muss fur Selbstfahrer-aber nur mit 4x4 Fahrwerk zu passieren!!! Oben angekommen, wird man grandios belohnt!!

Cons:

Nix!! Ein Kurzaufenthalt von 1 Nacht oder ein Tagesbesuch reicht aber aus!

Pros:

Chambre bien rénovée, lit confortable et bouillotes chaudes dans le lit au coucher. Vue magnifique de la terrasse du restaurant.

Cons:

Nous n'avons pas eu la chambre que nous avions réservée. La chambre sentait très fort la fumée. L'activité " village hike " était chère et ne valait vraiment pas la peine. Portions de nourriture gigantesques mais goût correct, sans plus. Nous n'avons pas eu d'eau chaude pour la douche.

Fabulous rooms with log fires and hot water bottles. Fabulous location, great pub.
Pros:

Fabulous rooms and location

Cons:

The inclusive dinner and breakfast were substandard, especially considering the high rate we paid. Both our steaks at dinner were awful, tough and chewy. - Dry/hard 'bread' with starter dips, dry cake for dessert.. disappointed, especially for Christmas eve 😞
The bar meals however were excellent!!
