Nothing.

This hotel beat our expectations tenfold. We were considering La Fortuna, but wanted something a bit closer to the airport, and Colinas Del Miravalles was anything but a compromise. The hot springs are warm and clean — and importantly, do not smell like sulphur like some of the other nearby hot springs. Our rooms were private and had beautiful views — we saw toucans, iguanas and tropical birds from our private hot tubs. The restaurant on site is excellent, the breakfast was awesome (especially the cheese empanadas and fruit), and the staff was friendly and helpful. We travelled in April, and the hotel was less busy than anticipated, which meant a quiet and relaxing stay. Would absolutely recommend. Also, the view of the volcano at sunset is breathtaking.

So peaceful!

The hotel was very peaceful but a little quieter than we expected with only a few people onsite.

Quiet, family run business with excellent facilities. The grounds were beautiful, at the foot of the volcano and very well kept. The staff was great and the food was delicious.

The privacy of the rooms was perfect with the private bungalow. Just what we needed. The road to drive around to the cabin was quite narrow and the sides could be filled in a little to make it safer but overall it was an amazing experience. Walking around and visiting the Dairy, seeing all the fruit trees as well.

You need to be aware that the resort is open to day trippers too

What a fine. Off the main tourist routes. So many pools to lounge in… all differing styles and temperatures

The hotel was in a beautiful setting with views of the volcano from the nice hot spring pools. Cabañas were so cozy and staff service was exceptional. Food and drinks were delicious. The location was fantastic very close to the national park.

Minor but note: bungalow description suggested it had a "bedroom and a living room" but it's 1 large open room, at least in the bungalow we got assigned it was. That matters with kids needing to sleep early but otherwise shouldn't. We may have been switched though as we requested an extra bed. You'll see many Google reviews are for day users of the hot spring pools. Just know that it may be busier on weekends but it's so peaceful during the week.

Honestly far exceeded our expectations. Really great staff, great breakfast and restaurant dinners. The pools were very clean, the grounds were nice. Very quiet nights and then birds, frogs, toads, and iguanas for kids to find during the day. Everything was awesome and at a reasonable price too. Good location if you want to explore the various hiking from Rincon de la Vieja southeast to Rio Celeste. Felt like a resort but isn't priced like it.

The only thing missing was a kettle to make a coffee on waking up. Few Costa Rican hotels seem to offer this - what I consider essential. It was very cloudy and windy all afternoon so couldn’t make full use of the thermal pools but that’s not the hotels fault. Fortunately, our private pool was warm and sheltered so we stayed there. It was lovely.

The setting, the thermal pools, the rustic feel to the place. The quiet seclusion and most of all our private hot tub just off our balcony overlooking open countryside. The bungalow was also spotlessly clean The staff was friendly and helpful. American breakfast was very good and great coffee I had been missing.

Nothing, it was spectacular

It was a beautifully and thoughtfully laid out little resort. The bungalow was so spacious and very well designed. The staff were extremely accommodating and kind. The views are exceptional, and I was blown away by the layout of the hotspring pools! There were so many more pools than I expected, and spread out throughout the grounds, each with a unique experience and view. I also appreciated how the grounds were constantly being maintained while we were there, and the pools being cleaned. It was an absolute pleasure staying here and I would come again in a heartbeat!

No AC or Hot water in rooms. Day use until 10 at night kept the pools very busy

Hot Springs and gardens were beautiful

I would highly recommend staying in these bungalows. We had one that had a private pool off the back deck. It was so nice to end and start our day in the private hot spring right outside our door! The staff are very attentive, printed off an activity sheet for us with things to do in the area and the food in the restaurant was good. We saw tucans, parrots and capybara on the grounds while we were in the hot springs.

The only thing would be that dayguests (who can buy tickets just for the pools) tend not to clean up after themselves? So trash is left for the wildlife until the friendly staff cleans it. So maybe even more trash binns? (Although it could be a CR thing to just leave waste, we have see it elsewhere too a lot)

So glad we went there! To us this was true Costa Rica. It is run by the friendliest and warmest family you will meet in CR. Also rhe bungalow is basic but has it all, next to that the many many hot spring pools are amazing (including fhd views) with a lot of wildlife around and finally fhe food and restaurant is authentic and great too. If you want a true Costa Rica experience, this is fhe one to book!
