My stay at The Cradle Boutique Hotel was a truly memorable experience, thanks to its breathtaking views and luxurious accommodations. The attention to detail in the food was remarkable, making every meal a highlight of my visit. While there were a few minor hiccups in service, it didn’t overshadow the overall experience. I can't wait to return to this peaceful haven in nature.

The Cradle Boutique Hotel offers a unique blend of tranquility and stunning views, making it a wonderful escape into nature. The rooms are luxurious and beautifully decorated, though some may find the wooden tubs in the Sky rooms a bit challenging to manage. While the service is generally friendly and attentive, I experienced slow service in the restaurant during dinner, which was a letdown compared to the vibrant ambiance of the hotel. Overall, it's a great place for relaxation, but be mindful of a few quirks.

Staying in the sky rooms was a real highlight, with stunning views and a cozy jacuzzi, but the overall service let the experience down significantly. While the location is beautiful and we enjoyed our morning walk with a knowledgeable guide, the dining experience was disappointing, and the restaurant service was notably poor.

My experience at this hotel was quite mixed. While the room was stylish and had great amenities, the lack of privacy was a major drawback. On the dining front, the breakfast options were limited and felt overpriced, which did not match the expectations set by the hotel's reputation. Overall, it was a pleasant stay but not without its issues.

The location felt somewhat isolated, which was nice for the ambiance but also meant being close to noisy kitchen equipment from the restaurant.
Dining

I found the dining experience a bit frustrating, as we could only order one item for breakfast and had to pay extra for special coffee, which I think should be included at this price point.
Facilities

The facilities included a hot tub, but the overall noise from the kitchen extraction fans affected the relaxation experience.
