My stay at Rockwood Hotel & Spa had its ups and downs. The location was excellent, right at the ski slope, and my room provided great views. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, with repetitive food options and a chaotic buffet style. The atmosphere was lacking, making it feel less inviting after a long day on the slopes.

The hotel is perfectly located right at the ski slopes, making it a true ski-in/ski-out resort. Being on a not busy mountain added to its charm, though it meant limited options for activities outside the hotel.

Dining options were quite limited and largely catered to a Western palate. The buffet barely changed during my stay, and it felt chaotic and uninviting at times, akin to a school camp rather than a cozy hotel experience.
