Volcano Lodge Hotel & Thermal Experience

10/10 Excellent
"The pools were great, uncrowded with several options. The grounds were spectacular and well looked after. Front desk was helpful. If you do not have a car, it is not walkable to town or off property attractions, you must take an uber or taxi. Included breakfast was very good."
