Reviews
Very relaxing. Very helpful staff. Food very tasty. Thermal springs very enjoyable..cold to very warm. Place clean and changing area and towels and lockers all well managed.
We traveled to Cartago area for a wedding and stayed in a different hotel. We bought a day pass here to visit the coffee farm and enjo a relaxing day using hot springs. It was a great experience. We first hiked the coffee farm for about 2 hours and then enjoyed the hot springs after sweating hiking for about 1 hour. We had lunch there and enojyed more time in the hot springs. We had to leave around 2 for the wedding that night but would easily stay until 5pm to relax. The view was great, the bathroom/changing room was clean, food was good, and the staff was very friendly.
Right next to Tapanti nacional parque. Did the park first, got all sweaty and dirty and then went to the thermals. It was bliss and so relaxing. I hardly left rhe 100F pool. Sooo relaxing! Other pools are 98,96,89 and cold plunge They also have a good restaurant that provides pool side service. When we went it was actually raining, but when you are in the thermals, you hardly notice the rain. Also the rains gave it a very rainforesty feel.
Here’s a polished version of your review: I really enjoy the thermal waters—it’s one of my favorite places to visit. The food is delicious, and the entire facility is clean and well-maintained. They provide fresh towels and shower facilities, which adds to the overall comfort and convenience of the experience. I always have a great time here and look forward to coming back.
Hot Springs was fantastic. Stayed in San Jose and it was definitely closer than the other springs. It was not crowded and very quiet. The views were absolutely breathtaking, the staff was genuinely great, and everything felt well cared for. The bathrooms were spotless, which made the whole experience even better. I’d definitely come back.
