    Great for kids however strange that they do not offer a cribs service in your room. While it is very child oriented. It got very busy with just day visits what was less nice but they have many pools to choose from so in the end it did not spoiled our stay.

    Food was good, Staff were very responsive and accommodating. Beautiful property!

    Within the documents of rules and procedures, it was difficult to see the true customer service aspect. It was overwhelming with rules where extra costs would be added. It was like the intent was to shake down all customers down for more money whenever possible. The coffee shop does not open until 0800. For early risers, this does not work well. There is nothing outside the facilities within walking distance. We did not enjoy the Buffett for the cost. The items offered, are the cheapest options for a Buffett for the cost. It is evident the owners are only interested in making money vs having a good customer experience.

    Facilities was very nice. Having a wide variety of pools available was exceptional

    Food wasn't good considering the price of the hotel. I never knew till i stopped here that pizza is ala carte! Just watch as the hotel is up to something regarding reservations. You book with booking.com, and then they cancel your booking and message you directly. We wanted an extra night, and they quoted 900 dollars. we booked online for 280 dollars. If it wasn't for the springs we wouldn't stay. The place gets very busy with bus tours

    The springs are amazing

    Nothing.

    The hot springs were wonderful. Great location for going on excursions and easy to get in to La Fortuna. Rooms were big, comfortable and air conditioned. Breakfasts had a lot of choice, which varied day to day. The fresh fruit was delicious. Staff were all friendly and helpful.

    The ac was broken upon arrival and they took the next couple days to get it working. The day pass population was massive so the place felt pretty packed despite the few guests.

    Variety of pools. Onsite restaurant. Swim up bar.

    The only thing we didn’t like was that the property sells a lot of day passes for people to come enjoy the hot springs. This is common in this area with other hotels but there would be buses dropping off tons of teenagers/people and it really took away from the ambience for hotel guests. The breakfast was fantastic but the rest of the food is just okay.

    This place is beautiful. It’s a vast property with so many different hot spring pools. The property is beautiful and lush and right in the middle of a rainforest and town. The breakfast was fantastic and the staff was very good. The room was very large and clean.

    The rooms are slightly outdated, and the scenery from the room didn't meet my expectations. With some room improvements, Baldy Hot Springs has the potential to enhance the overall guest experience.

    The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, adding authenticity to the experience. The natural geothermal waters are therapeutic and soothing, melting away stress and leaving a sense of tranquility. The grounds are beautifully maintained, blending with the surroundings. Private soaking tubs offer seclusion, and the facilities are clean and comfortable. The stunning natural surroundings create a harmonious escape. For relaxation, rejuvenation, and a memorable getaway,

    There were a lot of people using the property for the hot springs, it looked like many bus loads of people came in for the day and it a kind of seemed like a theme park atmosphere.

    Beautiful location very tropical with beautiful landscaping and view of the volcano . We had 2 rooms reserved but due to a family emergency we only needed one room but since we could not get a rebate for the second room that we already paid for the manager agreed to upgrade our one room to a suite and it was much appreciated.
