If you love nature, this is the place to stay. We spent every morning and evening watching an amazing array of birds with beautiful views of the volcano in the background. The cabins were clean and comfortable, the staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was wonderfully relaxing. The grounds have a wide variety of fruit and flowering trees. Simply amazing.

Very close to the tour meet up location through Red Lava Tours. Drivable to dinner spots but quiet enough to see so much wildlife around the property! Our tours were early so we couldn’t try breakfast that started at 7 or 7:30. Room was clean and perfect for what we needed. LOVED sitting out on the balcony while we were there

Large, clean room. Fridge, microwave, coffee maker and coffee and all the dishes needed to eat in. Several choices for breakfast and they were good. Restaurant on site that was busy for dinner. Friendly staff. Beautiful grounds with lots of birds and a great volcano view. Quick drives to town, coffee and chocolate tours, waterfall, hot springs and grocery stores. Great place for a couple of nights or longer.
