A delayed review, but my husband and I stayed here for the second half of our honeymoon in July 2024, and it was absolutely incredible. One of the main reasons we chose this hotel was the thoughtful vegan tasting menu offered each evening, and it exceeded our expectations — just make sure to email them after you book so they can prepare for your arrival! The chef created varied, multi-option menus...

We stayed here a week ago. Everything was great: very hospitable staff, delicious food, and an excellent spa area. The only thing we didn’t like was near the main pool — after getting out of the pool in freezing weather, the bathrobes and towels were frozen. Putting them on was very unpleasant, and as a result I developed a fever after our stay. It would be great to have at least a slightly heated...

We have stayed in quite a few nice hotels around the world. I think Alpine might take the top spot out of anywhere we have been. The pool was just as incredible as the pictures and we got lucky to mostly have it to our selfs or with one other group. The dinner and breakfast were excellent, our server Manuela was so great. The saunas and hot tubs were honestly the nicest I have ever been in “I work...
