Everyone was friendly. Our hiking guide, Fred, was able to please all the walkers. He adapted well to the different levels of difficulty. Highly recommended. The meal was very generous and well-balanced.

Fantastic stay! Fred (the guide) was incredibly accommodating, understanding everyone's abilities and doing everything he could to make everyone happy. In short, Fred is amazing. The swimming pool, which is freely accessible, and the wellness area (which can be reserved as it has a maximum capacity of 4 people), are very pleasant after a hike. There's no TV, but it's not a problem as there's entertainment in the evenings. I highly recommend it.
