MANNA, a Member of Design Hotels

This a beautiful hotel in the middle of nowhere. It is surrounded by forest and incredibly quiet and peaceful. The food is good at both breakfast and dinner and the staff are friendly and welcoming. You definitely need a car here to get the most out of the area. My one disappointment was in the Wellness area. The spa is very tiny and apart from a 'cave' pool (which was dominated by a couple of noisy kids when I went to check it out) there is nothing like sauna / steam room etc that is freely available, I think you can access something like this as part of a treatment package though. The gym is also underwhelming, it is sparsely equipped with some nice looking equipment but I would have liked a treadmill and a rack of dumbells. Given that this hotel is in the middle of nowhere, I think the owners have missed an opportunity to create a beautiful wellness retreat.
