Bethany, Jul 2025
Pros (+) The setting is absolutely stunning and we loved kayaking on the river. The views from the room are incredible and the bed was very comfy. The staff were great and we enjoyed the complimentary welcome port.
Cons (-) We thought the glass / windows in the spa and by the pools could have been cleaner, particularly as a big feature of the hotel is the view. Also for the price we expected perhaps a bottle of wine in the room, especially as it was my partner's birthday (they instead suggested I could buy a cake and bottle of wine for 50 euros when I made the special request).

Pros (+) A beautiful hotel in a beautiful spot on the river. Two lovely restaurants plus a poolside bar with excellent service. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. Loved the rooftop pool and the indoor pool in the spa. Great spa too!
Cons (-) A ladder to make it easier to get out of the river on to the dock for those crazy enough to want to do that.

Pros (+) Fabulous hotel, everything is beautifully designed and the staff is helpful and attentive. Our room was large and comfortable with a nice view of the mountains and river. The pool on the roof and cafe were relaxing. My dog travels with me and I have had many "pet friendly" experiences. Octant hotels are the best and set the bar high. The fees are a bit higher than some hotels but having access to ...
Cons (-) Nothing, would like to have stayed longer!

Paminder, Jun 2025
Pros (+) Stunning property, amazing location and beautiful views. Amenities including the spa were amazing and the Raiva restaurant was one of the best meals we have ever had. Staff were very lovely and friendly and very accommodating.
Cons (-) Only negative would be that there are breakfast items that are charged at a premium rather than included. I feel given the price of the hotel, these should be included at fairly minimal cost (stuff like eggs benedict, which are fairly common to be offered at a premium hotel). The hotel also didn’t make any acknowledgement for our honeymoon such as a free drink or complimentary wine which would hav...
