A disappointment compared to previous stays
Pros:

Beautiful location and views, as always! Friendly and helpful reception. Unit was clean & well equipped.

Cons:

Several full rubbish bags left at the unit entrance from the previous tenant, shower soaps were empty throughout the stay. No complementary bag of wood as with previous stays. Unit was poorly serviced each day, (eg. toilet paper was only replenished request).

All in all we have been coming to Quantani for many years and this was some of the poorest stays regarding services.

Pros:

The massage n environment

Cons:

The long gravel road. Vehicles can easily get damaged because of that road. It needs to be tarred. No fans or air-conditioning.

Pros:

The chalets were spacious. The fireplace is well suited and kept us warm. The beds were comfortable but the linen is not suitable for winter.

Cons:

The bathroom walls were dirty and should be cleaned more often, The linen was not suitable for winter. We had a burnt pot in our kitchen. We were there to celebrate my Mum in law's 70th birthday, we booked a table at the restaurant. There were only two other tables booked but we waited for over an hour for our food. The food was cold and the spinach was straight from the fridge onto the plate not warmed. The pizza was still cold as well. The food was not brought to the table together so some of us had food and others did not.

A decent stay with an amazing view!
Pros:

The overall cleanliness was great and staff was very accommodating to requests.

Cons:

The shop was never stocked with items needed and the facilities lacked proper staffing and management. Wished there was a halal option in the restaurant that would make it easier on us.
