Svatma - A Luxury Heritage Resort"Grubby room, unprofessional staff, dreadful food. The property felt extremely isolated, and we found ourselves as the sole guests in residence. It is clear the hotel has lost its charm and is no longer well-maintained. It felt rather like staying in a haunted house. I will not recommend this to anyone."
