The hotel is incredible spacious inside, while the outside has a nice walking path around a large pond with trees. Being in the mountains there are plenty of trees and no traffic noise at all. For those concerned about shops/other food options etc, there is a small shop selling snacks (chips/noodles/drinks etc) directly opposite the conference end of the hotel. Staff are great, as was Jo who spoke English very well and greeted us the moment we arrived and gave us information we needed. There are some activities to try, we just played some table tennis which is set up in a really nice room with big glass windows on one side for a really great view. A staff member saw us playing, came in and left 2 water bottles for us! Great service! The balconies are huge, with a long couch and a single seater to move around, and a small round table. We were roughly in the middle of the hotel with the lake view, which faced directly towards the sunset, which made for a great view every evening. We had room service dinner twice, which was really good. There's a map they can provide of the surrounding area to give you an idea of what is there, but it's an illustration style map that is not accurate. It just highlights the main buildings and sights to see. So if you try to follow the roads on the map it will be very confusing! So happy to have found this hotel. We stayed for 6 nights.

It was a pleasant stay for me and my family, we all enjoyed it. The hotel's location is more like a city oasis where I can always breathe fresh air. Overall experience was fabulous, the room cleanliness and friendly staff are impressive. Kids centre also allow me to have a serenity afternoon. Will come back.
