It is a bit off the beaten path, but worth it. It is in the jungle away from other touriats. We were able to get transportation essily to all the nearby activities. The staff was friendly. The breakfast was good and a number of choices. The restaurant had delicious food available for supper.

Stayed with partner

The view from the room was absolutely stunning and definitely the highlight of our stay. The room itself was clean and spacious, which worked perfectly for me and my husband. However, there were a few downsides. The room felt a bit dark and outdated, and unfortunately, the bed was not comfortable for my liking. The pillows were also extremely large, which made it difficult for me to sleep. I asked the attendant if there were thinner options available, but I was told there weren’t any, and the response felt dismissive and lacking in care. Breakfast was just okay—nothing particularly memorable. Additionally, the drive up to the hotel was quite intense and challenging, which is something to keep in mind when planning your visit. Overall, while the view and room size were great, the lack of comfort and service made the experience less enjoyable than it could have been.

The location was beautiful with an incredible view of the volcano and surrounding landscape. The gardens were great for seeing wildlife and birds. The staff was kind and attentive and the breakfast options were delicious. The one working hot tub was so relaxing. Our room was clean and huge although a little dated. The driveway to the property was rough, but it was part of the adventure and we saw wild pigs, coati and lots of birds along the drive. We enjoyed our stay very much and would love to return!
