“I noted large, well-maintained grounds with volcano views, and the location is convenient for exploring the national park, though a bit removed from town, where I also understand the staff at the restaurant are lovely. I especially appreciated hearing about the above-and-beyond service from some staff, including arranging discounts and nocturnal wildlife viewings; still, anticipate some inconsistencies. A solid choice for immersing yourself in nature.”
