Four ultimate relaxation there is Samode spa with three treatment rooms and both male and female therapists. There is also a compact gymnasium with treadmill, rowing machine and a cycle but most guests prefer to take leisurely walks around the surrounding hills (when the leopard is not looking).  

Experience
