Paradise Hot Springs - Thermal Water & Volcano Views

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel Very peaceful Great staff Love my stay"

Volcano Lodge Hotel & Thermal Experience

8/10 Good

"We stayed in a junior suite, and the private jacuzzi was a definite plus. Had a minor maintenance issue early in our stay which was very quickly addressed. The staff were fantastic - after a day or two we were familiar with most of the restaurant staff, who were all excellent. Great food, with a stand out breakfast buffet. Front desk staff were also super helpful. We had a wonderful stay."

Camino Verde Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"The place was a charming bed and breakfast with a stunning view. Although we didn’t have a room with a balcony, we still had access to it, and the flowers and scenery from there were absolutely beautiful. The lounge area, with its cozy wood-burning fireplace, made the whole place feel warm and inviting. My daughter took every opportunity to curl up there with a book and relax between our excursions."

Hotel Lomas del Volcán

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is absolutely beautiful, worth every penny. The location is conveniently located right outside downtown. There is so much wildlife on the property. And they offer a free breakfast buffet, which tastes great and they offer a variety of foods. I would definitely come back to this property. A plus point is that they have a heated pool which is great in the off season ."

Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great resort to stay in. The room was reasonably priced and comfortable. The drinks and food were cheaper than anticipated at a resort but was better tasting than some restaurants I visited on this trip. The pools are super relaxing and there's so many. It's easy to find a nook to yourself. I'd return to this location again."
