"Super nice hotel for both winter and summer. Friendly staff, a huge variety of breakfast options, very cozy and clean. There are lots of entertainment options, making it perfect for kids. The only downside was the swimming pool and jacuzzi, there was so much chlorine that our eyes started to hurt."

"I am in love with this hotel ! The views, the rooms everything was amazing ! A few things that could be improved. Some carpet in the rooms could be cleaned. If not asked the rooms are not getting cleaned/towels replaced. So maybe work on that. Some of the rooms have visible water damage. We booked 3 rooms so could see that. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Food is good and so is a pricing. Enjoyed the breakfast a lot! Heated pool is also a nice touch. Parking space is available. This place is a hidden gem in the mountains of Adjara ! I would rate our stay 4.7/5!"

"Spent a week here and honestly didn't want to leave. The place is absolute paradise ! surrounded by green mountains, pure quiet, and the sound of the river. The rooms are super clean and cozy, the pool and sauna area were perfect after a day of exploring, and the food and especially the wine... incredible. You have to try their wine while you're there! Huge thanks to the staff, they were so kind and made us feel like family from day one. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway near Batumi, this is 100% the spot. Will definitely be coming back"
