10/10 Excellent
"This place was amazing for my wife and I. We had an amazing view of the volcano every morning waking up and looking out the windows. Rooms were cleaned daily and even had our bed turned down every night when we got back to the room. The pool and hot springs felt amazing and we're very clean. The food was great especially the Sushi wow great stuff. Overall I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun relaxing and quiet setting. There birds and sloths were right outside our amazing room. Thanks Again for an exceptional stay."
