We loved absolutely everything!! The service was impeccable, the food and beverages were delicious, the rooms were very clean, the spa services were amazing, and the thermal pools were something everyone should experience in their lifetime. The ambiance of the entire resort was one of luxury and decadence! The flowers, the lush greenery, the animal sounds, and the water sounds made you feel like you were in paradise! Honestly, words do not do the resort justice…everyone needs to make this once in a lifetime trip. So gorgeous!
United States of Americait is a beautiful property, lush gardens and beautiful hot springs soaking river. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was the best we had in our entire trip in CR
United States of Americathe springs are fabulous you can not see them anywhere else
United States of AmericaThe BEST experience ever! Everything was perfect and the staff was amazing. They go the extra mile to comfort the client, before, during and after your stay. Their whatsapp service was on point. Our room was spacious, the bed was super soft. They even got my 3-years old a mini bathrobe to go to the Termales, which was so cute. The Termales were amazing and sooo beautiful! Last but not least, the food was amazing and they had their own craft beers (for the beer lovers). All in all, worth it! An experience you should not miss! We will definitely go back!
