This is a very different experience from the hot springs at Baldi. When I went it was all locals, mostly families. There are signs everywhere forbidding displays of affection! The thermal pool is like a river, hottest at the beginning. The rest of the pools are cooler, some are more like swimming pools. The pools and picnic areas are patrolled... More

We went here last week and had a great time - we just paid for the entrance only w/out the meal so I cannot comment on the food. The lockers were included which was nice because i've heard elsewhere you have to pay for those separate. Drinks were also really reasonable too and it's an honor system of paying for... More

Had a lovely morning here with our two children. There were only a few other families or couples, so it was very relaxing. Some of the hot springs seemed to have very long queues, ecothermales was quite understated. Quite expensive but worth it. More

I came here on the recommendation of the Trip Advisor members. When I arrived, I was really close to going to Baldi since it is a lot cheaper and it seems like it was a lot of action going on over there. But I am very glad I came here. As I came with my girlfriend, the privacy of this... More

Our hotel recommended the La Fortuna Ecotermales. After seeing the crowds at the other hot springs, we were delighted to find La Fortuna Ecotermales populated, but not crowded. We found out later that the other hot springs do not limit how many guests they'll accept at one time. I wasn't overly impressed with the service from the bartenders at La... More
