It was a beautiful property, a tropical paradise with all the beautiful flowers. We stayed in the Honeymoon Suite which was just lovely and cozy. It was really nice having tea, fruits, and ramen noodles waiting for us on a cold rainy day.

The folks are really nice there. The property is really beautiful. The hot tub on the property was really nice.It can get pretty cold there at night in volcano and there weren't enough blankets and no heater.. it's a nice touch that there's an in-room jacuzzi tub but it was not clean.
