Inequecível
Pros:

A vegetação é exuberante, o quarto espaçoso, a vista para o vulcão é incrível, os funcionários muito amáveis. Para coroar tudo isso, recebemos um almoço de cortesia no terceiro dia. Foi inesquecível. Ah, as piscinas termais eram lindas, convidativas, quentinhas... Foi tudo perfeito.

Cons:

Não teve nada de que não tenha gostado.

We would absolutely stay here again, and have recommended it to many friends who planned to travel in the future.
Pros:

The property was beautifully maintained, and the staff was very attentive to all of our needs.
The springs were fantastic, and were much needed after a day of activities. The villa rooms are perfect, and provide some of the best views of the volcano.

Cons:

Everything was perfect!
