We liked the room/suite for its beds and bathroom but some seats would have been a nice addition as would a small refrigerator. The bar staff could have been a little friendlier. The restaurant was mostly open air. We froze at breakfast. We wore coats one night for dinner. But the food was good.

Thoroughly enjoyed this resort, our home for 6 days. Not pretentious, truly authentic beauty. All staff were not only accommodating, but felt like friends, Joaquin, Luis, Jorge, Fernando, Leah and Justin, to name a few. Large rooms, excellent housekeeping, and restaurant had great options, some excellent ones. Could use more selection in cocktails for all inclusive. Lava springs and foliage/landscaping were the fantastic icing on the cake. Close to nature hikes, wildlife, and excursion options. View of volcano is spectacular, if the clouds cooperate.
