Volcano Lodge Hotel & Thermal Experience

Volcano Lodge Hotel & Thermal Experience

10/10 Excellent
"All in all an outstanding experience. This lodge far exceeded my expectations. I absolutely love the pool. The room was super comfortable. There was daily housekeeping. The laundry service was not ridiculously overpriced. The pool towel concept is absolutely ridiculous, but I'm not taking off points for it. The restaurant was amazing. I've never stayed at a hotel with a better built-in place to eat."
