"This place was amazing for my wife and I. We had an amazing view of the volcano every morning waking up and looking out the windows. Rooms were cleaned daily and even had our bed turned down every night when we got back to the room. The pool and hot springs felt amazing and we're very clean. The food was great especially the Sushi wow great stuff. Overall I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun relaxing and quiet setting. There birds and sloths were right outside our amazing room. Thanks Again for an exceptional stay."

10/10 Excellent
"Great resort! We stayed for 7 nights with the all-inclusive package. The food and drinks were incredible, and ALL staff were lovely and a pleasure to see every day. There was confusion with the all-inclusive package vs. the premium all-inclusive package, that was mis conveyed upon booking. Overall we were very pleased with our booking and stay, but would encourage to check the details of your booking prior to. It gets BRIGHT early in the day, and our room did not have any blackout curtains. Highly recommend packing an eye mask if you would like to sleep in. The views were absolutely AMAZING. I am so happy I found this resort & so happy we booked our stay here."

"I cannot say enough nice things about hotel silencio del campo. My kids and I had an amazing time. The hot springs are amazing we spent hours at a time soaking in the clean pristine water. The location is strategically situated at the foot hills of the volcano with scenic views of the volcano. There is so much wildlife and plant life walking around the resort. Imaging seeing peacocks roaming around outside your room. The food was also delicious and facility is secured with a gate at night. We can't wait to be back!"
