If you love nature, this is the place to stay. We spent every morning and evening watching an amazing array of birds with beautiful views of the volcano in the background. The cabins were clean and comfortable, the staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was wonderfully relaxing. The grounds have a wide variety of fruit and flowering trees. Simply amazing.

The room was spacious, perfect for two people. The bathroom was also big and cormfortable with a hairdryer. You're surrounded by nature and can see many bords from the balcony while having breakfast from your room. My only two criticisms are, first that the pillows available are too thick, second is that the wifi didn't always work properly in the evening.

Very close to the tour meet up location through Red Lava Tours. Drivable to dinner spots but quiet enough to see so much wildlife around the property! Our tours were early so we couldn’t try breakfast that started at 7 or 7:30. Room was clean and perfect for what we needed. LOVED sitting out on the balcony while we were there
