The Royal Corin Thermal Water Spa & Resort - Adults Only

The Royal Corin Thermal Water Spa & Resort - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent
"The staff here were very helpful and kind. Our room was cleaned very well everyday. The volcano view from our room was amazing! The breakfast everyday was delicious and had good variety. The hot springs were very relaxing. The location is not far from the city so it is easy to go out and get food or do activities. There was always parking available for our car."
