    Couple's Hidden Gem

    This place blew me away! The staff, particularly Eva, was amazing and dealt with a payment mix-up like a pro, always friendly and helpful. We had a room with views overlooking the river that made every morning feel special, and the breakfast spread was plentiful—no stone was left unturned there, just like a meticulous plan.

    It wasn't cheap, but honestly, worth every penny.

    Had an awesome five-night stay where Eva helped us sort a payment mix-up with such grace, and the breakfast spread was a real treat! Took advantage of the relaxing massage services, which were just what we needed after a day of exploring. Just a heads-up, our room could've used a bit of updating, but overall it was a fantastic experience! 🌟
