Smaller budget friendly resort with hot springs
Very nice staff. Small grounds with great views of Volcano. Boutique size place, maybe only 10 rooms and nice but small pool deck and 4 hot springs. Great breakfast, very convenient in and out location with a car. Not a fancy big resort place but was absolutely fine and budget friendly, would recommend no problem. Other "grand" volcano hot spring resorts were actually sold out so I picked this one and was very happy, and was lower cost overall with a great breakfast and very friendly staff. No restaurant for evening meals FYI. Not that kind of resort place. I liked the larger hot spring by the bar with music playing and in the sun with a view of the volcano, I spent an afternoon hanging out there in the spring and talking to people, looking at the volcano and getting drinks from the bar.

I appreciated the owner's willingness to give a refund, they are very kind. The property is pretty dingy for this pricepoint. I had to sweep and clean when we arrived. There wasn't hardly any items needed to be able to cook in the kitchen.

No hot water, no WIFI in the rooms, rude staff and they messed up our activity bookings. Every day breakfast was almost the same with long waiting despite telling them in advance of activity pickup times. Staff is only there between 7am and 9 pm and the room and the hotel has no lockers. The pools close by 9 pm also. Rooms were not sound proof, could hear everything from next room and repairs on the property started early in the morning with contractors talking loudly the whole time.

This property is not worth the money. It is as same as any motel service. No proper check in, no chafer service, rooms are dirty, breakfast served late, not a good breakfast. Overall, I would not pay hefty amount that they are charging for, it is worthless.

Instalaciones buenas, staff amable, solo como sugerencia, diría que ofrezcan más ropa de cama al ingresar, pues solo las sábanas podrían no ser suficientes a pesar del clima cálido, de lo demás, excelente!
