Pros: The set up of these springs is fabulous. From the moment you pull up to the unmarked wooden gate (set across the street from the more “glamorized” Baldi Hot Springs) you know you are in for a secluded treat. The fact that Eco-Termales limits the amount of guests into their elegant springs is a major bonus. When we arrived... more

We went to Eco Thermales as part of a day long tour, but did not eat dinner there. I think word must be getting around about this place because it was fully booked both nights we were in La Fortuna. We were told they limit their numbers to 100 people at a time. EcoThermales was right across the street from... more

My husband and I loved this place. It was so relaxing and intimate. We also enjoyed the dinner :) more

I had trouble making reservations here by finally found a website called arenal.net to make it. That was the only problem we had. This family owned hot springs is worlds apart from the others in the area and I am so happy we picked this one. The food was great, the bar honor system, the showers and the absence of... more

The food was delicious... more

You'll feel like your going to a speak easy and may even be concerned your... more

Everyone knows this place. My husband loved the hottest one... I couldn't stand it after 5-10 minutes. I enjoyed dunking into the coldest one... more

This was a great experience toward the end of our vacation last week. After hiking, shopping, swimming, surfing, horseback riding, canopy tour, and canyoning all week, our bones were a little tired! These hot springs were wonderful. We had to wait three days to get a reservation, so I would definitely recommend planning this ahead of time. We were there... more

We decided to visit Eco Thermales hot springs because it was significantly less expensive than Tabacon. It was beautiful, relaxing and not very crowded. Cost was $41 per person and included a great lunch. more
