I had mixed feelings about this resort. The views from the patio were absolutely stunning, and the food was really good. However, the unpleasant smell from the sewage system and some dated facilities took away from the experience. Although the location was perfect for exploring the gorges, the amenities really need some upgrades to make it a truly enjoyable stay.

I had high hopes for this hotel given its beautiful location, but sadly, my experience was quite disappointing. The rooms appeared neglected, and the cleanliness left much to be desired. Although some amenities were in the works, the overall condition made it hard to enjoy the stay fully. However, the scenic views were a highlight, and the potential improvements could really transform the place into something great in the future.

I had high hopes for this place due to its potential and stunning views, especially at sunset, but it really fell short. While the food was decent and the basic accommodation served its purpose, a terrible sewage smell definitely put a damper on the experience. I won't be recommending it until some major improvements are made.

I had high hopes for this lodge given its beautiful surroundings, but unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing. While the location by the river is stunning and perfect for nature lovers, the overall condition of the place left much to be desired. The room was welcoming, but the common areas felt neglected. I appreciated the helpful staff and enjoyed the breakfast, but the lack of maintenance is hard to overlook.

The resort had some stunning views from the dining area, but I found the overall experience quite lacking. The cleanliness of the campground was commendable, and the staff were friendly. However, the food options were very limited, especially for those with dietary restrictions, and the sewage smell was quite intolerable throughout my stay. I wouldn't return until these issues are resolved.
