It is a lovely property with very nice rooms. Our room had a beautiful view of the volcano. The property has beautiful grounds with lots of flowering plants. All staff we encountered were so friendly. The bed was very comfortable. We had a shower attachment that needed to be fixed and they did it promptly. Nice variety of food for breakfast. I would definitely stay again.
