The room was large and very comfortable for our group of four (two adults and two teenagers). We especially enjoyed the private thermal pool, which was an awesome addition. However, we did notice that some of the fixtures in the room are a bit dated, particularly the toilet. Updating these elements would significantly improve the overall experience. Thermal pools were nice and spacious

The rooms were basic and some bugs got in although we were careful, but the rooms were clean at least. The staff was wonderful. We enjoyed a New Year’s Eve dinner in the restaurant and had the free breakfast one day, it had a nice variety of options. The highlight was the hot springs area. It had a great vibe, very cool with lights and a swim up bar. The grounds were also gorgeous with the vegetation and we saw a few birds walking around too. I would stay again!

We loved this property. We were a family of 4. My kids are 11 and 13. They loved the thermal pool and the game room. We really enjoyed watching the birds in the morning. The breakfast was delicious - there was something for everyone. Parking was easy and the staff is super helpful and amazing. We had a great time here.

Breakfast has a great variation, gallo pinto is wonderful, plantains, Omelette, fresh cheese of the region, pancakes, fruit, meats, chilaquiles, bread, good coffee, juices, all in a buffet’s mode. Staff is really kind and always willing to suggest options. Restaurant is great with gourmet food options at reasonable prices, so you don’t have to go out for looking other options. Sights of the volcano was great from the hotel. There are rooms with private termal jacuzzi in the middle of your own garden!

If you are just looking for a good thermal experience then this place is good but the rooms are very outdated for the price we pay. Staffs were not friendly at all. Did not feel like you are at a resort where the staffs are typically nice and friendly. I beleive we are getting charged for service fee which I dont think is necessary for rude staffs. Even the front desk staffs were rude. I would not stay at this place again got better resorts around this area for a similar price and better service.

Lots of ants in the room - to be expected in this location. The property was beautiful with lots of greenery, birds etc. The hot springs were great, as was the pool. The breakfast was nice and we enjoyed a couple of meals at the hotel but got tired of the food pretty quickly and had to venture out for different options
