I had a wonderful experience at the hotel, as it was impeccably clean and offered comfortable accommodations with stunning views of the lake and volcano. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making my stay even more enjoyable. I also loved the delicious vegetarian meals prepared with care and creativity by the chef; each dish was a delightful experience. The location allowed easy access to nature trails, making it a perfect place for relaxation and adventure.
