The location of this place is simply breathtaking, surrounded by nature and tranquil scenery, which really sets the mood for a relaxing getaway. The tents, which feel like luxurious cabins, offer all the comforts one could hope for. However, the service can be sporadic; there were moments where it felt like they were under-staffed and disorganized, impacting the overall experience. Dining was a highlight with exceptional meals, but there were times when options were limited. Overall, it's a beautiful spot with room for improvement in management and service.
