My stay at the resort was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was picturesque and the grounds were beautiful, making it feel like a charming Swiss village. However, I experienced several issues with the service and dining options, which detracted from the overall experience. While the rooms were clean, they felt small, and the lack of reliable Wi-Fi was quite inconvenient.

Our stay at this resort had its ups and downs. The large rooms were quite spacious and comfortable, and the food we had in the restaurant was really delicious and hearty. However, the grounds seemed a bit neglected, and some facilities could use more attention. While there are plenty of activities to enjoy, I found the prices for extras a bit excessive. Overall, it was a decent trip, but I expected more for what we paid.

We had a nice time at the resort with its beautiful lake view and peaceful atmosphere. The room we were moved to after an initial hiccup was lovely and cozy, although a bit smaller than expected. Dining was enjoyable, especially with the tasty woodfired pizza, but the facilities could use some updates to match the overall charm of the place. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.
