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.

The room was spacious, perfect for two people. The bathroom was also big and cormfortable with a hairdryer. You're surrounded by nature and can see many bords from the balcony while having breakfast from your room. My only two criticisms are, first that the pillows available are too thick, second is that the wifi didn't always work properly in the evening.

Stayed as a family of 5 with tween/teen aged children. Beautiful property-the landscaping was exceptional. We could see a parrot pearched on our front porch every morning. The room was clean and comfortable. I would suggest bringing your own shampoo and shower supplies as the ones provided were low quality. Secure parking and hepful staff. Minifridge provided.
