First class hotel with a grandiose view *

Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A A

The lodge is located at the foot of the volcano arena. From our bed and terrace, we had a direct view to the volcano. The rooms are very spacious with two nice big beds, a safe and a huge walk in shower. In the room there was a coffee maker. The complex is very spacious. There are many opportunities for hiking. The pool with Jacuzzi is situated in an idyllic location at the edge of the forest and is a suspension bridge to reach. The breakfast was wide and typical of the country with eggs, pancakes, sausage, toast, cereal and rice and beans. Dinner was served in buffet form and was very tasty and varied. The staff was very attentive and friendly.
