I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were perfect for my family, offering both a bathroom and shower with a lovely exposure to the outside and a jacuzzi on the private patio overlooking the Arsenal Volcano. The outdoor tub and shower were such a treat, and the view of the volcano from the private porch was simply breathtaking. However, the dining experience left a bit to be desired due to the mediocre coffee.

The hotel offers a secluded retreat with stunning volcano views and a close connection to nature and wildlife. While the outdoor tub and private shower with an open roof provide a unique experience, the lack of screens on the windows restricts fresh air flow. The service is warm and welcoming, although the attempt to mask unpleasant odors with spray was not ideal. The location, while remote, boasts lush surroundings and a regular pool for wildlife sightings. The dining options impress with a variety of complimentary delicious meals. Overall, a great place for a nature-focused getaway.
