Viss pārdomāts līdz pēdejai detaļai
Pros:

Lika justies īpaši gaidītiem, un restorans bija izcils! Perfekta vieta pastaigām un pSPA zona bija ļoti skaista

Cons:

Pietrūka SPA zona baseins un brokastīs varbūt lielāku sortimentu gaidīju

Pros:

Ērti numuri, garšīgas brokastis.

Cons:

Vilšanās bija par SPA zonu, jo nebija minēts tās darba laiks, nerunājot par masāžām, ierodoties vakarpusē ap 18:00, personāls informēja, ka ilgu laiku aizņems tās uzsildīšana (ap 20:30) un nebūs, kas atslēdz to. Saprotu, ka bijām ne-sezonā un laikus neveicām rezervāciju, tomēr ir vērts papildus informēt klientus par darba laiku, rezervācijām u.tml., ja provizoriski zina, ka nebūs liels cilvēku pieplūdums konkrētajā dienā.

Pros:

Unikaalne kompleks metsa sees. Kaunis interjöör, viisakas teenindus, rikkalik hommikusöök.

Cons:

Spaa kasutamise eest on lisatasu 25 euri nägu, aga peale paari sauna polegi seal muud. Võiks olla ka mullivann või väike bassein. Meil oli probleem ka toa temperatuuriga. Informeerisime teenindajat, et tuba on külm, aga kuna radiaatorid olid maksimumi peal, siis nii jäigi.
