Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Remote location — The resort is set in the countryside, away from the city center. While peaceful, you'll need transport or the shuttle to reach local attractions.
  • Limited on-site dining options — The resort has one restaurant, which may not suit guests who prefer a wider variety of dining choices without leaving the property.
  • Check-out time may be early for some — Check-out is from 06:00 to 12:00, which might feel restrictive for guests who like to linger in the morning.
