"This lodge is wonderful, an outstanding place to stay, we were awakened by the volcano in the middle of the night to look out our window to see the flowing. William was very kind and helpful we enjoy the free morning walk with Eduardo, very informative. The trails and gardens are very well maintained. I can´t wait to come back. Thank you very much for everything."
