  • The staff is wonderful.

  • The tour that we had with Bolton Tours Hetero Waas.

  • Excellent.

  • Our room was excellent.

  • The stairs, though you do have to consider the stairs.

  • Because although we had privacy and we were, you know, up in a great area with a great view with, you know, the hammock in the balcony, you do have to go up more than 100 steps that was challenging every day.

  • We did get used to a little bit, but just keep in mind that you have to go up and down those stairs at least three times a day.

  • So I don't know if I'll do that next time if I come back here, but you know, does something to keep in mind.

  • And our yoga sessions were great.

  • Our teacher's name was Emma.

  • So if you could be a semi a highly recommend him.

  • I was a beginner and my friend Waas advanced.

  • She knew how Teoh, you know, going between for the both of us, so that was awesome.

  • Views while you're doing yoga here are just stunning just to look out on this beautiful lake in the mountains.

  • And, um what else?

  • Oh, the vegetarian food was great.

  • Every day, something was different.

  • Another thing about our who, Even though that tree was cool going through a bathroom, we did have bugs and ants come into the bathroom a lot.

  • So we always had to cover a lot of things or put away a lot of our things.

  • So that's just something to think about.

  • But we are in nature, so I think it's just expected Teoh expect some bugs.

  • We wish we could have explored more towns, but we also wanted to enjoy the SME itself because it's such a lovely property.

  • And we wanted to enjoy the views and relax ation at the pool and, you know, talking with some of the yogis here they were.

  • Some of them were, like, really friendly, especially Nexia.
