The view of the Volcano and Mountain from our room. We were also able to see everything from the poolside of the resort. Room 504 is absolutely gorgeous. The staff were kind, room was cleaned daily with robes placed in the closet. The cleaning staff decorated the bed daily with a new design. It was cute. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the hotel’s restaurant was delicious.

The hotel had an ok view of the volcano. The rooms are outdated no full size mirror. Only one key fob. Breakfast did not have variety each morning and I stayed for 6 nights. You have to reserve breakfast for each day which is a very big inconvenience. The ladies at breakfast are not very friendly. They also denied be breakfast one day because the lady did not put my room down etc.. (when I did). They need to do first come first serve… key fob stopped working for both rooms so had to get that fixed in front desk. The smaller pool doesn’t work. Only one hot tub works. Pool is not heated. Can’t pay drinks in the pool by room number.. 4th floor rooftop bar is not open yet. For a “4 star hotel” it lacks a lot. Needs a lot of work!

Very surprised by the overall ratings of this property. First, when I arrived I was told to park in another lot that would be closer to my room. This lot was in a very inconspicuous dark alleyway (immediately disregarded) due to the fact, it seemed implausible. Seemed very unsafe. Air conditioning did not work and there was a sizeable hole in the ceiling, that raised a reg flag. I brought these concerns to staff (after hours) and the issue was rectified (moving to another room). Overall, I wouldnt stay again, it was ok but definitely not the best or anything like it falsely represents online; the property doesn’t match the way it’s portrayed online. Does have a good breakfast and coffee with the cutest cat, who would drop by looking for food.
Could not pair air conditioner with remote
