Fodor's Review:
This is the closest you can stay to the Las Pailas park entrance. Hiking and horse trails lead to a hot sulfuric pool and a blue lake and waterfall. The sunny log cabins (Room numbers 39 and up), with nicely tiled bathrooms and porches with hammocks overlooking a man-made lake, are the best choices. Avoid the rows of connected older rooms (1 to 28), which are dark and gloomy. The dining room is claustrophobic, with mediocre food served buffet-style, but the alfresco bar is lively in the evening, usually filled with small groups of international ecotourist types. The grounds are shaded by giant malinche trees, and there is a tiny dipping pool.
