    Wi-Fi was pretty lousy in the room. If you need to do anything serious you can go to the restaurant which has adequate Wi-Fi. No English speaking channels in tv, which doesn’t bother me except I had to listen to husband gripe about not having tv or Netflix. For anyone with bad difficulty walking getting to the springs might not be easy. It is an 800 meter walk on the lane (if you have a vehicle you can drive, or they can drive you) then about 400 meters through the beautiful jungle to the springs.

    The grounds were gorgeous, like paradise. Beautiful gardens with lots of paths were just delightful. There are fields with cows and horses, very scenic. The springs are wonderful, a beautiful walk to get there. The food in the restaurant was excellent and the staff is very nice. My husband has a knee problem and they even drove us to the parking lot by the springs which was awfully nice. There are many separate hot pools, rustic style not like square swimming pools, and temperatures ranging from lukewarm to scalding. We are in the rainy season and this morning we had them all to ourselves!

    Some of the reception staff sent mixed information which became confusing. The rooms should be kept by pest control standards. I think they just started doing it.

    The forest, termales Springs and spa area is gorgeous. A real natural experience. Doña Ligias massage was the absolute best!

    This was my third stay. What I disliked was how the breakfast "policy" changed. I comparison to past stays this time was only DESAYUNO TIPICO offered. That's not really what vegetarian guests eat!!! While asking for some bread with marmalade in exchange, we were told that there is no marmalade (or the like) offered. Well, that's POOR!!!

    The service person at the pool bar was very friendly, we enjoyed his attention

    The 400 meter walk thru the rain forest to access the hot springs was very challenging for me.

    The place is very nice. Minimalist rooms. The breakfast was very good traditional food.

    Just bare bones basic. No blow dryer, 3 towels, small blankets, AC. Coffee was horseless, breakfast was not good. The access to get in and out of the hot springs was dangerous, they need hand rails, better coffee, or leave a coffee pot in room.

    The hot springs we gorgeous,you have to walk far to get to them.

    Outside of the buildings could use fresh paint, they look a bit run down. Otherwise very nice.

    We LOVED the hot springs and the location of the hotel. We stayed at the bungalow. We booked a horseback riding through the resort for 1/5 the price of some local tour companies and it was amazing.

    I really did not like our hotel room, for the value it was completely rundown, uncomfortable but basic and clean at least. The food at the restaurant was really poor quality.

    the hot springs were amazing and enchanting, it made up for the fact that the rooms have not been improved for 30 plus years I am assuming.

    Wow this place needs some major renovations and upgrades. The rooms are beyond basic, the beds are old and springy. The property is completely empty- which says it all. The staff is very nice, but the place needs a lot of work. The hot springs are cool, but needs a lot of renovation.

    The staff is very nice, the grounds are kept very well

    I did not like the bungalow type room due to the poor condition of the paint, kitchen utensils, and the refrigerator in bad condition. Doors that could not be opened, lack of other kitchen utensils such as knives, cups, etc. There was also a huge problem with noises of rats in the ceiling and huge cockroaches coming out of some furniture. The sound of the rats was very annoying and did not let us sleep peacefully

    I liked the bungalow type room and its privacy, space. Staff was friendly

    The room entrance key was very hard to open, and only my friend could open it. The breakfast was a typical Costa Rican rice and beans and plantain set, which was not really enticing for us to eat. I used to go to this hotel, and they had a buffet breakfast, which I thought we would get. But, since we are in the rainy season, meaning not many tourists, they gave us the traditional breakfast. It was OK, but this time the experience was quite different from the previous visits.

    The surrounding environment was beautiful, and the hot spring was nice. The bed was alright, and the room had a functioning air conditioner. They gave me extra blankets for me. The water level of the hot springs was low due to the little rainfalls, but I could relax there.. The gardens were beautiful, with various tropical plants and flowers.
