Our week at Perriam Place was truly a delightful mix of relaxation and adventure. The condo beautifully balances private spaces for each couple while offering a cozy common area for meals and hangouts. Although there were such great amenities, I did wish for a little more attention to cleanliness in the shared spaces. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, set against gorgeous scenery and a range of activities.

I had a mix of experiences during my stay. The location was stunning with beautiful views, but the cleanliness in the room was seriously lacking, which left me disappointed. While the staff tried to be accommodating, their presence and the overall upkeep of the facilities fell short of expectations, especially considering the price point. I really hoped for a more luxurious experience given the promises made by the hotel.

Our stay had its highs and lows. The views from the room were absolutely stunning, providing a picturesque backdrop. However, we were disappointed by the cleanliness of the room, which felt far from the luxury we expected. The service wasn't up to par either, as staff seemed overwhelmed, impacting our overall experience. While the location is beautiful and offers great potential for relaxation, the state of the accommodations is concerning.
