Special mention to Omar who is the heart beat of the resort … he takes care of everything that you can possibly need and more. Thank you for making our stay so memorable PS: The wifi works great ! ##### Jade Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### DAVID 18 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities We asked for the room on the upper floor when booking and they gave us the one below, the bathroom was outdated and had water problems, the king bed was two and a half square beds pushed together, and the mattress was worn out and very hard. Excessively expensive prices for what they offer, translucent curtain where you could see a lot from the outside, little privacy. ##### DAVID Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Dennis 14 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities todo muy bien, el lugar muy bonito, limpio, la cama un poco pequeña para alguien que mida más de 1.80m Revisar los procesos de cocina ya que la fruta en el desayuno tenía sabor a cebolla y no la pude comer. La privacidad de algunas habitaciones es cuestionable, tiene una bonita vista al cráter y la cama esta orientada en ese sentido, sin embargo, delante de la habitación, está la vía de acceso de vehículos y personas a tan solo un par de metros, lo cual, inclusive con las cortinas cerradas, por la noche, permite ver todo el interior. ##### Dennis Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patricia 5 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities El lugar es muy bonito y pacifico. El staff súper amable. Lo único es que no hay muchas cosas por hacer si es que el clima no ayuda como en nuestro caso que pasó lloviendo y tuvimos que solo estar en la habitación porque no hay otras amenities más que senderos. Hay áreas húmedas (jacuzzi o sauna) pero hay que pagar aparte. ##### Patricia Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Silvia 7 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It is a rainy season in the area and the staff made sure that we are comfortable no matter the weather. ##### Silvia Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lluis 23 Feb 2025 Liked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Bien ##### Lluis Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Portugal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Portugal-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d147-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Xheko Imperial Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tirana-Hotels-Xheko-Imperial-Hotel.h41829931.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Birr](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Birr-Hotels.d6023975.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Playa Blanca Beach Mate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yaiza-Hotels-Playa-Blanca-Beach-Mate.h36792338.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel du Vieux Marais](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Hotel-Du-Vieux-Marais.h7874313.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Haiti](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Haiti.d75.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Hotels near The Chapel Down Winery](https://www.expedia.co.uk/The-Chapel-Down-Winery-Hotels.0-l6279990-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Conrad Bangkok](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bangkok-Hotels-Conrad-Bangkok.h904240.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Quito Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quito-Hotels-Wyndham-Quito-Airport.h12324306.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Cannon Hall Farm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cannon-Hall-Farm-Hotels.0-l553248634998391031-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Centro Turistico Gardesano](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Verona-Hotels-Hotel-Centro-Turistico-Gardesano.h1669996.Hotel-Information) > > [Corstorphine Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Corstorphine-Lodge.h3480313.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Historical Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Historical-Center-Naples-Hotels.0-n6069776-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Arc by Bridgestreet](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Arc-By-Bridgestreet.h20956087.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London-Bloomsbury Hotel by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Bloomsbury-Hotel.h22262.Hotel-Information) > > [Jagat Niwas Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Udaipur-District-Hotels-Jagat-Niwas-Palace.h5485111.Hotel-Information) > > [Spa Hotels in South Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Coast-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d6046244-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Crumlin (BFS) to Bali (BLC)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bfs/blc/belfast-to-bali) > > [British Airways Abuja (ABV) to London (LHR) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/british-airways-from-nnamdi-azikiwe-intl-to-heathrow/ba/abv/lhr) > > [Flights from Farwaniya (KWI) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/kwi/lhr/kuwait-city-to-london) > > [Flights from Tampa Intl. to NYC-All Airports](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/tpa/nyc/tampa-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Christchurch (BOH) to Aberdeen (ABZ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/boh/abz/bournemouth-to-aberdeen) ### Cars > [Car hire in Islamabad](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Islamabad.d6141508.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Packages > [Hornsea Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hornsea-Beach-Hornsea.d6341295.Attraction) > > [Great Theatre of Havana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Great-Theatre-Of-Havana-Centro-Havana.d553248634340970752.Attraction) > > [Scottish Islands Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Scottish-Islands.d6054497.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Positano City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Positano-Positano-City-Centre.dx553248633938943655) > > [Visit Madeira Region](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madeira-Region.dx6048281)
