Lavas Tacotal is such a gem. The grounds are unbelievably lush, and the volcano is just beyond. We saw toucans in the bordering jungle, and the flora was breathtaking. Breakfast is delicious and plentiful. My kids loved the pools. The room was clean and spacious, with housekeeping every day. Staff were friendly and helpful. The rain on the roof each night was the perfect white noise. My only complaint is the beds are small and very hard. The sheets were clean but stiff. Otherwise, it was a perfect stay.
