Baldi Hot Springs Hotel and Spa

2 days at the springs - very nice with many different pools with different temps and themes - dinner at the Italian restaurant was very good - Tuna on squid ink pasta was excellent- nice breakfast buffet included. Room was large and comfortable but shower didn’t get very hot. La Fortuna ishas lots of bars and souvenir shops - go for the Chocolate Tour just gown the road at Fon Olivio it’s lots of fun!! Had a good massage and you get to use the private pool and relaxation areas. Staff was great very helpful and friendly!!

$300+ dollar room that came equipped with a real living bat! Yes a bat...

The location is very convenient to La Fortuna region - about 2 miles from the town itself. The hotel was comfortable but several things need repair or updating. For example, one morning we did not have hot water and that night we did not have cold water. The springs are nice, but super crowded during the day which makes the whole place feel hectic and crowded. The breakfast was a highlight and the restaurant was also good and reasonably priced. That said, I would not stay here again.

A hot springs spa on steroids. 27? hot water pools, five bars, two restaurants, steam sauna, massage. and a heliport in case you want to skip the 3 hour drive from San Jose. Book many tours and activities including transportation from the hotel.

Great resort hotel with over a dozen hot spring pools, slides, waterfalls at various temperatures, some with built in bars. Professional and friendly staff. the two front pools were being refurbished for the upcoming high season, but not a problem, there are plenty more. Some aspects of the room showing its age (Crown molding detached from wall), but overall very clean and comfortable. One of the pools smelled bad on one day, so we just went to another that didn't. Might have been something in the landscaping instead of the pool. Unlike most hot springs I've been to, there was no sulfur smell at all to the water. From our second floor room, could not see the volcano because of vegetation. Lots of outside activities for those inclined like hiking, nature tours, etc. The Arenal volcano is not erupting as it was 10-15 years ago, which made this area such an attraction in those days. Lots of choice in bars and restaurants in nearby La Fortuna. This one of the best hotels to stay in in the Arenal volcano area, as Costa Ricans will tell you.
