Pros:

The hotel is located on a large area. Beautiful views. Even though we visited in the middle of the season, it didn’t feel crowded. There are hot springs, and you can take part in free walks (nighttime observation of wildlife or morning birdwatching).

Pros:

La bienvenida y el desayuno

Cons:

1-El jacuzzi estaba dañado
2-las cortinas son muy claras, la habitación quedaba como si fuera de día en la noche. No se podía descansar en el día. Mucha claridad.
3-cuándo llegamos, estaba lloviendo mucho y no encontramos el número de habitación, porque se encontraba por el lado adentro. No se visualiza desde la acera.

Pros:

I love the location and concept overall very peaceful. Staff sucks there with exception of the bell service guy who helped with location and brought the welcome drink. FD staff was just mehhhh. No excitement no warm welcome. When I paid over 300 dollar for one night in this place.

Pros:

Me gustó la calidad de la comida, la cama resultó ser super cómoda. La ubicación es fantástica frente al volcán, las instalaciones lindas, limpias
y el personal super amable.
Diría que si se desea priorizar la comodidad, el buen servicio al cliente y la aventura, este hotel es una gran opción.

Cons:

Si su prioridad es disfrutar de las aguas termales, este NO es la mejor opción. No solo porque son muy pequeñas para tantas habitaciones, si no porque estaban tibias o frías.
Por todo lo demás, es una excelente opción.

Perfect location for daytrips
Pros:

Location is excellent. The garden is a jungle and very interesting to explore.

Cons:

They really need to renovate… especially the big restaurant.
They recently opened a new small pizza restaurant next to the big one. But since they don’t tell you, no one knows…

Staff is nice, otherwise overpriced for what they offer.
Pros:

Location was good

Cons:

Property set up. One restaurant, one menu. All inclusive isn't the right description for what they offer. They charge additional " obligatory" $60 per child for Christmas dinner even if you don't want to attend.

Pros:

The grounds were nice, including the mineral pools.

Cons:

The buffet food was marginal at best. Also, I didn’t like being next to the main road. If you’re seeking an eco lodge type experience, this isn’t the place.
