I had quite a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the stunning ocean views and luxurious feel of the accommodations truly made my stay memorable. On the other hand, I faced some significant service issues, especially during check-in and at the bar, which really put a damper on my time here. The value for money could be improved, especially considering the frustrations I encountered.

We recently enjoyed our stay at Parknasilla, which is a fantastic place for families, especially with all its kid-friendly amenities and wonderful outdoor activities. The lodges were clean and well-equipped, but I did find it challenging with the living arrangement being split between upstairs and downstairs, particularly with young children. Dining options were good but quite overpriced, and while the spa facilities were nice, they could be quieter. Overall, it was a great family getaway, but there are definitely areas that need improvement for a more relaxing experience.

The hotel boasts spectacular views and beautiful walking paths that are simply stunning, especially in spring.

While the family-friendly atmosphere was a plus for some, it didn't quite match the fine dining expectations I had.
