Rentouttava viikonloppu rinteen juurella

Mahtava paikka, varasimme sviitin saunalla ja huone oli erittäin tyylikäs ja juuri sellainen mitä kuvat antoivat ymmärtää. Sänky mukava nukkua. Varasimme Zen span illaksi joka kruunasi rentouttavan illan. Vahva suositus ihan kaikille, palvelu aivan omalla tasolla ja henkilökunta todella ystävällistä ja iloista. Polkupyörät käytössä jolla oli mukava kierrellä Vuokattia.

Loistava hotelli eikä edes kallis

Miinukset alkuun. Huoneen eteisen valo oli tosi ärsyttävä, välkkyi melkein koko ajan jos liikkui vähänkään huoneessa. Odotin myös että rinnehotellissa olisi näköala mutta se oli surkea. Huone ja hotelli oli kuitenkin todella hyvää tasoa, kuten myös aamupala joka kylläkin piti syödä toisessa hotellissa tähän aikaan vuodesta.
