My boyfriend and I ended up getting this trip for free because a problem with a previous vacation. Our expectations were low going in; we were just looking for some winter warmth.

This resort is fantastic and like no other! It's built into a hill, which provides magnificent views from every room. We stayed in the Junior Suites that are spacious, clean and private.
