Great Stay

We had a great time, the hosts were helpful and communicated with us with any questions that came up. We had a house full of cousins and there was so much space everyone was able to have a good nights sleep in a comfy bed. It is close to the hot pools and lots of other Lava activities, we plan on booking with this location again in the future.
