Beautiful location. The room was very clean and nice. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. I would describe the property as luxury camping. It is located in the mountains so during our entire stay, it was very windy. The wind was loud. That is the only negative thing and no fault of the hotel.

Loved the cabin we rented with big soaker tub and fireplace. Felt like we were on a ranch in a cabin on the mountains. Complete with all the farm animals you’d find on a ranch. Highly recommend. Romantic for couples like me & my husband or bring the kids! They’ll love the facilities.

We really liked our stay, so much so we stayed an extra night. Only reason why it isn’t a 5 star review is for reasons obvious this not being a high star place to stay. The sauna has gaps, cold air comes in and so it doesn’t get as hot as it should be. The cabin we stayed also has gaps so cold air comes in, even with the fire on we still got cold inside and there’s no temperature controls in the cabin. The team there is great, property is great, but outside there’s not much to do, only go eat, Starbucks coffee farm, see the volcano. That’s about it. We would come back tho, for a couple nights.
