This place is absolutely stunning! The mountains are breathtaking, and the staff is incredible. I loved everything about it. Also, catered vegan options.

I would recommend adding fresh fruit to the breakfast menu and rotating the options a bit. Having the same breakfast every morning got a little repetitive. The 7pm dinner time feels too late. A 6pm or 6:30pm dinner would be much more ideal. Eating so late doesn’t leave enough time for digestion before bed, and by 6pm, everyone was already hungry. Can also add more vegan options.
