The resort was absolutely gorgeous, and we would stay there again. The staff were friendly. Our only complaint was that the food wasn’t very good, and leaving the resort to eat is not the easiest given its location up in the mountains. I got a steak on our first night there that was not cheap and it was so hard and fatty I couldn’t eat it. I let them know, and there was no offer made of another protein, or even consideration to take it off the bill. Go here for the experience and the relaxation, because it is beautiful in so many ways. My wife and I aren’t big eaters so the food not being great wasn’t a deal breaker for us.

Property and staff are top notch! However, if you go here, plan to stay here because the hotel is out of the way. There is a treacherous 10 km long dirt and gravel road full of pot holes which you have to travel slowly on or you will damage your car. You can have a shuttle pick you up and stay at the resort and do all the activities on the resort including the thermal pools etc.. instead. Book the activities in advance because they do book up by others from day pass users (people not staying on the resort). So, if you think the hotel has low occupancy the activities and thermal pools could still be full. Nice resort overall but they need to fix the road leading to it. It was the worst one we travelled on during the two weeks we drove over 800 kms. Further to this, don’t plan to stay here more than 3 days as it is out of the way from other points of interest.

This property was beautiful, comfortable, and made you feel one with nature. They have onsite spa, hot spring pools to soak in, and outdoor volcanic mud experience that is very unique. The food at the main restaurant is delicious, and the staff are very friend. Would definitely recommend!

Beautiful property with large pool area and thermal pools with walking trails. Stayed in junior suite high above and was able to see amazing sunset. Room service offerings were limited to dinner, resort is not easily walkable, you need to request shuttle if you stay higher up in suites. Road to get to resort was very rocky, but worth it.

Beautiful grounds and accommodations. You can walk to the pool or the thermal pools or ask for a ride. Food is inconsistent with breakfast good, lunch excellent and dinner a disappointment. You are at least an hour on a bumpy dirt road from anything so it is not like you can eat elsewhere. Service is great except for breakfast where they are understaffed. I wish they had a trail map with signs and enabled you to explore on your own. Instead they want you to sign up for guided excursion for $ which some might want but not all. We stayed for 2 nights which was perfect.

This is a great place for spa. It is out of the way so unless you rent a car - you are stuck at the resort. We were there in the off season, so we only had access to the one restaurant. However, the staff was very friendly, the pool and spas were very clean and the staff was friendly. One major downside is that the bungalows are going to be uphill. So going to and from the pools and spas from breakfasts and/or excursions will have you hiking a fairly steep road.
