10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay at Lomas del Volcán and can't recommend it highly enough. One of the best hotels we've stayed at. We received an extremely friendly welcome and throughout our stay nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Breakfast was amazing, with so many exciting options. The bar offered a great menu (we didn't try the restaurant) and the swim-up bar was a real highlight, especially as it was in a heated pool. So cool, with great cocktails and smoothies. Our kids loved the pools and jacuzzi and the onsite hiking trail was fab, we saw several red poison dart frogs! Yoga on Saturday morning was also a real treat, despite the torrential rain! On our last day we finally got a clear view of the peak of the volcano behind the hotel. We were very sad to leave and would love to return some day."
