Second time staying here, first time with our 18 month old son. The thermal rooms were perfect for relaxing while he was napping or after he fell asleep and he had a lot of fun in the kid pool.

Had a great time with the family inc young kids. Lots of pool time and beautiful views of the volcano. It rained a lot, as expected, but that didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves at all. We kept most of the activities to the AM and hung around the property in the PM.

We had such a wonderful experience! The entire resort was exceptionally clean and well maintained, and the staff was pleasant, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. Everyone was on top of everything and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our stay. The service was excellent, especially poolside! A special shout-out to Antonio, Kevin, and Modesto for their outstanding service and hospitality. They were attentive, friendly, and helped make our time at the resort even more enjoyable. Everyone was absolutely fabulous! We truly appreciated the wonderful service and would definitely recommend this resort. We can’t wait to come back!
