Pros:

Fantastic thermal water facilities and great location. Room was clean and had a nice terrace.

Cons:

The manager of the restaurant, Steven, was super rude and unpolite in his demeanour and customer service. We reported him to the hotel. Breakfast was average.

Great location, could have better service, and improve the food and food options.
Pros:

Nice and quiet and close to everything you will want to see.

Cons:

Long trek for ice in the rain wasn’t fun. Beautiful property and nice thermal spas. The food was not great at all. Same basic options for breakfast everyday.

Good experience
Pros:

Simple and procice.Amazing location, nice and courteous staff, highly professional at the front desk and helpful with everything I needed. I especially loved the swim-up bar in the hot springs/hot pool; I had both of my dinners there. Breakfast was good as well. They truly understand what 'Pura Vida' means

Cons:

The masseuse, although she was good, asked me to fill out a review while she was standing right next to me. Awkward

The facility was even better than expected. The grounds are beautiful and well cared for. The restaurant staff were amazing and so friendly. The breakfast options were plentiful and delicious. The view of the volcano was spectacular. Such a great resort.

Great place for volcanic pools and wildlife
Pros:

Hot pools were fun - especially the one in our private garden. So much wildlife wandering / flying around grounds

Cons:

The rooms themselves were a bit dated and bland - perhaps a bit more colour and pattern?
