Pros:

Belle bâtisse et magnifique vue. Le restaurant « les cascades » sert une nourriture raffinée avec un très bon service attentif.

Cons:

Décevant et très cher
400.- pour une chambre minuscule vue sur le parking. Aucun sens de l’accueil à la réception. Pas de service dans les salons, les clients doivent faire la queue au bar et emmener leur verre à table ensuite pour l’apéritif.
Par ailleurs, j’avais une réservation pour une chambre vue sur cascades, confirmée par téléphone avec le service des réservations, à l’arrivée nous n’avons pas obtenu la chambre réservée. Aucun dédommagement.

Pros:

The location, experience of being in a natures park, hiking through the park, swim in the lake, the music, breakfast, fenicular ride was beautiful.

Cons:

Traveling with kids would be wonderful to have a more kid friendly experience, ie. game room (board games).

Also a gym with yoga mats.
