Gorgeous views of lake, mountains and volcano. Beautifully kept grounds . The room itself as very cool design . Simple but had an entire glass wall overlooking the most stunning view . There were a few things that we didn’t like . No refrigerator and the door didn’t properly close and bugs got in several times mainly spiders . ##### ileana Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathleen 20 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This unique location allowed us to see and explore an area that was incredible ##### Kathleen Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Theresa 20 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Tremendous vistas, birding, nature trails fantastic staff and a very cool welcome. ##### Theresa Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew 3 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I stayed at this facility primarily for access to birding opportunities. The trails are in excellent condition and easy to walk if you’re in decent shape. I did get some of my target birds, and did not run into many people at all on the trails. There is lots of good birding opportunities within a few short drives of this location too. Food was excellent and room very comfortable ##### Andrew Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul 14 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Beautiful Grounds loved this hotel Amazing grounds loved our stay. We had to do the shared bathroom room because only room available. It was loud when people got up but the grounds and staff are amazing. Highly recommend this hotel just try to get the normal rooms. ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Arlene 15 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing views of the now inactive volcano, with plenty of easy hiking routes around your room, since the hotel is situated within the national park. A birder’s paradise, with a small museum about the volcano and the history of the area. We had a birding tour booked through the hotel with Raúl Obregón, whom we highly, highly recommend! Raúl is passionate about birds, knows their habits, and will share his passion with you. The room is comfortable, though not luxurious. WiFi is only available on/next to the balcony and in common areas. Be aware that to maximize ventilation the area near the ceiling is only screened, so you can hear everyone in the rooms around you. But the trade off of being immersed in nature is worth it. The onsite restaurant serves pretty good food, although for variety you may want to leave a few times during your stay. Be aware that the road up to the hotel does wash out, so you may be in for a rough (but short) ride up from the main road until you reach the entrance gate. ##### Arlene Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### xingyan 21 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The environment is fantastic, offering a variety of scenic trails surrounded by beautiful plants, diverse wildlife, and vibrant birds. ##### xingyan Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Praveen 29 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very nice place ##### Praveen Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 28 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities There is so much to do here, it is a wonderful place to bring the kids. ##### Richard Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carrie 17 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The lodge was fabulous. It’s definitely more secluded but that’s exactly what I as hoping for. The weather came through for us and we had stunning views of the volcano out our window/patio area. I enjoyed walking the trails and birdwatching. We found about 40 different species with a guide in 2 hours. The rooms were comfy and clean. The restaurant had a free breakfast which was much more than a buffet. Dining at night was pretty good. I wish there were a few more options at the restaurant. Oh also saw spider monkeys on the grounds. Great place. Wish I had more time there ##### Carrie Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gelana 6 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing stay I loved this hotel!

The rum was clean but average. No air conditioning but with the window open, fan, and dehumidifier it was very tolerable. The amazing part. .the staff and wildlife! Everyone was very friendly and went above and beyond to assist. Every morning and afternoon the spider monkeys came by the patio. So many birds and other wildlife to see just walking the grounds.
