I think this is my favorite place I have stayed in my life. Nothing beats waking up to the volcano view hearing and seeing all the animals around. The decor was perfection I did not want to leave. Food in restaurant was great and spa was outstanding. Cute gift shop, friendly staff. Trails around the property. You will not believe your eyes how peaceful and beautiful this area is.

I have wanted to stay here for years. When the opportunity presented for a short stay I booked. In the 100 block of rooms the road noise, even on a Sunday, woke us up. Parking is NOT at your room and you walk to reception and have to ask them to get your vehicle. Amenities of the hot spring and spa are a shuttle ride and walk away from the property. At the hot spring, the hotel guests only portion at the top was only open till 7:30/8pm, while the facility was open till 10pm. Left us having to walk all the way back down to get a simple water. No real benefit of being a hotel guest over a day pass. Would not book again. Will stay at another property. Aurtero at the bell/valet station was amazing with service and a smile!

An excellent place to stay if you just want a quiet me time in the wilderness- a jungle retreat in a way. For centre and city - you need proper transportation. Uber was our saviour. Other Taxis and shuttles are very pricey.
