The employees were really nice and the hotel magnificent , we stayed there for 8 days I would appreciate it if they changed the sheets at least once. Also we had to leave a day early and they refused to reimburse me for the last day. Expedia tried to get in touch with them early but it took them a long time to hear back from the hotel.

The property staff were very nice and accommodating! We had a volcano view from our hotel and it was amazing. Also very close to tourist attractions. Parking is tight but the staff were helpful in guiding us when parking. The only not great thing was the food in the restaurant. We had to eat there one day, due to pouring rain and it was not good at all for vegetarians.

Luscious garden and comfortable

We had a great time! I've stayed at other hotels in the area that were more fancy or expensive, but this one actually beat them and there were no bugs entering our room! The views were nice and the garden was beautiful; many areas to rest and take pictures.

This property was perfect for our family of four (two young children). We loved the pools and hot tubs, and the many animal sightings (cows grazing in the field next door, an iguana high up on a tree). Our room was clean, as was the property. Breakfast is included which was delicious and changed daily. The property is within walking distance to several restaurants.

The property was veey nice, the exterior needed much needed updating as mold was all over the staircase clear wall. The room was nice, minus fact shower didnt get hot. But the hot tub watwr and sink water was scolding hot just as i like it. But yhe tub/jacuzzi didnt work there were never any bubbles. We called it in but in 6 days never got fixed.
