    If only I could have more time. I would definitely stay there longer. Armando showed us many animals in the bush every night. The restaurant was amazing too. And the room? Way ahead of my expectations. The staff was great.

    Super location, very cool pool area to hang. Also highly recommend the sloth tour with Armando - he will show you all sorts of cool frogs, bugs, sloths, and other nature.

    Great location with bird watching during breakfast. We had a chance to go on a frog tour around apartment with Armando which was spectacular. The hotel offered cheaper prices for entrance tickets which was a very nice surprise.

    The location was fantastic. So close to the town but you felt you were in the middle of the countryside. Breakfast was superb. Sitting at breakfast with a view of the volcano with all the birds at the feeding station was a golden moment for me....

    Located perfectly - close to the center but with a great vulcano view. Quiet in off season but looks like a busy place in season when also the pool bar is open.

    Had a great stay here. Staff were friendly and helped with my luggage up the stairs. The pool was great and there was lots of wildlife around. The night tour to search for frogs was lovely :) the room was huge and aircon good and there was hot water.
