Loved our stay at the sails on the lake! Room was very clean, it was warm, had everything we needed, awesome service from the lovely guy in reception, the view of the lake was beautiful to wake up to and a bonus that it is 10min walk to town. No complaints! 10/10! Would recommend 100 percent!

Gayathri

The rooms were spacious, with great amenities and a fantastic view. The location was incredibly convenient, with easy walking access to restaurants and stores. However, the air conditioning is located in the living room and struggles to cool one of the bedrooms, even with the door open. Additionally, one staff member was rude during checkout, which was disappointing.
