Had to buy tickets ahead of time and didn't know. But when we got there the weather was bad and park ranger said don't bother. So we didn't.

8/10 Very Good! (1,118 reviews)
The hotel is not on par with othe RIU properties. Our room was dirty and dated. The toilet smelled and there was an obvious lack of maintenance. Outlets needed service, mold around the sink, cracke purple glass blocks and very dimly lit. Outside maintenance was outstanding. Food was cafeteria grade at best with the same menu every night. The priperty could be great with some better attention to maintenance and better dining options since it was secluded and you really didnt have any other option to eat. The pools were outstanding and drinks were great.

1/5 - Terrible
Verified traveler
Do not go despite what you may hear locally. Sulpher warnings going off and the volcano is active. It is sincerely a health hazard even though they restrict to 20 minutes. Also, do not go if handicapped. In an emergency you can not get out fast enough and it is not handicapped equipped.
3/5 - Okay
Verified traveler
Was somewhat disappointed. Needed a reservation to get in, $15/pp, there is one hike you can take in a group to the volcano, and you are limited to 20 minutes at site. Nothing else to do or see, no restaurant at our time of visit.
4/5 - Good

light rain and overcast clouds... couldn't see the crater or anything due to the weather.

the day we went there was no visibility....
2/5 - Disappointing
Verified traveler
Essentially closed due to activity. Paid $15 and for parking for a 20 minute visit. Can’t even walk up the steps for a higher view. Pretty much not worth it this time of year due to cloudiness.
