My stay at the resort had some ups and downs. The spacious units provided a comfortable space for my group, and the access to outdoor activities was a huge plus, making our trip quite adventurous. However, I was disappointed with the rooms due to a strong chemical odor that lingered, and the noisy heater made it difficult to relax. Overall, I appreciated the recreational facilities available but feel there could be improvements to ensure comfort in the rooms.

I had an enjoyable stay at the resort, particularly appreciating the spacious units that provided a comfortable setup for my family. The scenic views of the mountains really enhanced our experience. However, the room was a bit stuffy without any air conditioning, which made it less ideal, especially during warmer days. While the location was peaceful, it felt somewhat remote from the main activities. Overall, it was a nice experience, but there were a few areas that could use improvement.
