"The place is beautiful, and the sights are amazing. I especially loved the incredible view of the volcano. However, what I didn’t like was the bathroom. The electrical box is placed in a location where, every time we take a shower, the handle gives us an electric shock. This is very concerning and should be addressed for the safety of the guests. The place is beautiful, and the views are amazing. I especially loved the beautiful view of the volcano. However, there is a serious safety concern...
"A very nice hotel; the location is perfect, and the staff’s service was exceptional. The only issue is the maintenance of the property. There was a lack of cleanliness in the rooms."
