Great location—close to town, yet peaceful with beautiful volcano views. The one-floor rooms made it very easy and convenient to get around. There are also restaurants nearby, so you don’t even need to go into town.

We loved our stay! The room: was clean (you could smell the strong Javex like scent when you first walk in - so it was indeed disinfected) and we had the most amazing view of the volcano right outside our doorstep (room #22)! The breakfast: very good on both mornings with Rice & beans, scrambled eggs, pancakes etc... Fresh fruit (bananas, watermelon, pineapple and papaya) Coffee was accompanied with the option of steamed regular milk, soy or almond milk. Water, tea and juices were also available. The Pool: both were great and clean! Kids loved it. The one pool facing the volcano was warmer and closes at 6pm. Accessible: This property seems to be well setup for anyone with a wheelchair.

It is a lovely property with very nice rooms. Our room had a beautiful view of the volcano. The property has beautiful grounds with lots of flowering plants. All staff we encountered were so friendly. The bed was very comfortable. We had a shower attachment that needed to be fixed and they did it promptly. Nice variety of food for breakfast. I would definitely stay again.
