The location was beautiful with an incredible view of the volcano and surrounding landscape. The gardens were great for seeing wildlife and birds. The staff was kind and attentive and the breakfast options were delicious. The one working hot tub was so relaxing. Our room was clean and huge although a little dated. The driveway to the property was rough, but it was part of the adventure and we saw wild pigs, coati and lots of birds along the drive. We enjoyed our stay very much and would love to return!

We had the honeymoon suite. The view was absolutely amazing but the property is a bit outdated. We ate the breakfast that was included but chose to dine out for the other meals. The owner is super friendly. The views make up for the property being outdated and there is a jungle trail that’s worth trying out.
