"I chose this hotel because one of the pools has gradual shallow steps - my elderly parent cannot climb up and down the usual vertical-style pool steps so this was a really important feature for us."

I had a wonderful stay at this resort spa. The staff were incredibly accommodating, and I loved the range of pool options for relaxation. The views during sunset were stunning, making it a memorable experience. However, while the dining options were good, I felt they could offer a broader range of breakfast dishes. Also, parking was available, but it wasn't always easy to find a spot during peak hours.

My stay at the resort spa was an incredible experience! The friendly staff, particularly Maria and Anna, made everything feel welcoming and easy. The multiple pools provided a great way to relax, and I absolutely loved the stunning sunset views over the caldera. However, while the breakfast was delicious and varied, I felt the dining options in the evenings could be expanded a bit. Overall, it was a lovely getaway that I would recommend to anyone looking for a luxurious escape.
