First floor room (gecko) has terrible smell (possibly mold) that we had to endure through the night. We stayed here only one night and it was a very tiring experience with trying to fix that smell but couldn’t do it at all despite of trying candle, room freshener, my perfume. We ended up sleeping upstairs in one unit to get some sleep. The weird part is that property is at a great place and upstairs unit is very well maintained, so not sure why such a simple but important check is missed. We reached at 9:30 pm around and it was the last thing that we needed. Unfortunate but host should pay more attention before guests arrive, and fix these things beforehand. Kids couldn’t even enter into lower unit at all. The entire stay smell was so overwhelming. Hosts tried to send someone but it was too late for them to tend. Disappointed overall.

This property was perfect for visiting the park. It is rustic. The top apartment is very pretty and cozy, but the bottom is just a place to sleep. I would stay here again.

The rooms felt like a treehouse! Secluded in a rainforest only 8 min from the gates of Volcano National Park!

Our family had stayed in the gecko room for a week more than 15 years ago and had such a great time that they were excited to find and re-book. We recognized the beautiful location nestled among treeferns and planted with anthuriums right away. Located in a residential neighborhood so very quiet yet close enough to lots of things to do.

Located right in the middle of trees so it's secluded, thus could use brighter lights inside. Not stocked for the length of time we were there, but brought items needed. Parking is pretty tight. Both places together worked for our 8 people. Gecko had mini fridge andywo burner hot plate

The Pacifica Inn is just a few minutes from the Volcano National Park and part of a great little neighborhood. Even though in a neighborhood, it feels very secluded and in your own little tropical forest. We stayed in the Gecko and Volcano rooms. I feel this is a best option when you are traveling with friends and/or another couple to have your own spaces ... but still in the same building/property. Communication with the host was great!
