probably its best feature is the volcanic water hot tubs. If you are a guest at
the hotel, the tubs and Maya sauna are free. You can pay to visit the hot tubs,

is changed daily in the mornings and can be very hot. Other times, you must ask
the attendant to heat up the pools for you. Natural hot spring fed.
