Fabulous
Pros:

We stayed for one night and had a wonderful experience. We checked in around 2:00 pm, and the reception staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They even offered us chocolates and took the time to explain everything the hotel had to offer, including activities in and around the property.
The hotel is beautifully decorated with an Alice in Wonderland theme, which makes it feel unique and magical.
The next morning, we accidentally missed breakfast. We asked if there was any chance we could have something to eat, and the staff immediately went to the kitchen to ask the chef. To our surprise, the chef prepared breakfast for us anyway. We really appreciated this thoughtful gesture it went above and beyond our expectations.
The outstanding customer service made our stay truly memorable. Thank you to the amazing team for making us feel so welcome. We had a fantastic experience and would happily stay here again

Absolutely loved everything about our stay at Hana Lodge.
Starting from the warm welcome from our host Star, who showed us all of the lodge amenities and beautiful surroundings, continuing with the exceptional dinners we ate from both in-house chefs, and finally to the clean, comfortable and well appointed room.
If you don't plan to stay here, you should 100% visit for dinner and taste their amazing 5-star restaurant quality food.
Thank you to all of the staff for making this a memorable stay.

Cons:

No negatives at all

Amazing location and truly relaxing with fantastic staff!
Pros:

Amazing property, the staff were amazing and the room (suite) was beautiful! Free snacks and non alcoholic mini bar, heated floors and and beautiful room. Nice surroundings too!

We only stayed for one night and had dinner and breakfast and while they were both tasty, they weren’t 5 star meals (overcooked poached eggs etc), but overall we loved the stay!

The best hotel experience of my life—exceptional service, beautiful accommodation, and a huge thank you to Star for maki
Pros:

Everything was absolutely perfect! This is the best hotel I have ever stayed at. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and beautifully designed. The gardens and surroundings were peaceful and stunning. The location was excellent, and every detail made our stay unforgettable. A very special thank you to Star, the administrator, who was incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional. Star went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The hospitality was truly outstanding.

Cons:

Honestly, there was nothing to dislike. Everything exceeded our expectations. I only wish we could have stayed longer!

The hands down best hospitality staff, interesting spot with some quirks
Pros:

the staff were the best staff I think I've ever come across. They were unbelievably welcoming. I thought they really did well for such a packed venue too. Breakfast had great options and was delicious. Very much enjoyed the billard room - unusual addition to a space but v cool

Cons:

There's a few random things like doors behind towel rails with attic-esq storage rooms that we found a bit creepy. I also think the windows could use an upgrade to stop weeping with condensation. I think for the price, I maybe expected a little more?? I'll be honest, I low key think the place is haunted. Might be for you, but wasn't for me this time.
