Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport
10/10 Excellent
"All was well. I particularly liked the shuttle, which ran whenever someone needed to go to the airport. It was one of the main reasons I chose the hotel. My only small complaint is that the room in the evening was not well lit."
"This place was amazing! The room was clean, the restaurant was delicious, and the spas, the best part! Right near the volcano. We will be going back. "
The Royal Corin Thermal Water Spa & Resort - Adults Only
10/10 Excellent
"The breakfast buffet is spectacular. The view from the room was beautiful. The staff was so wonderful. A lovely place to stay. Anyone who has trouble with stairs should stay somewhere else as there are only stairs to the main level...no ramps."
"The resort was beautiful. We had a fantastic view of the volcano. We enjoyed the free breakfast that had lots of variety. The service from staff was excellent and the resort was an easy drive to most attractions. Our family would definitely stay again. "
