“The main draw is undeniably the thermal waters themselves, sourced from what is said to be the purest hot springs in the area. With a diverse range of pools, from family-friendly zones to secluded spots, it seems to cater to varied preferences. From what I gathered, dining splits opinion; the Italian cuisine seems a safer bet than the Costa Rican buffet.”

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The hot springs are beautiful and offer a variety of pools, perfect for relaxation. However, I found the rooms to lack the luxury expected from a 5-star venue, and the service can be inconsistent. Dining options were overpriced, and the presence of day pass guests diminished the sense of exclusivity. Overall, it's a memorable place to visit once, but it might not be worth a second stay.

Baldi Hot Springs offers a wonderful experience for families, especially with kids. The hot springs and water slides are a huge hit, and we practically had the park to ourselves. However, the dining leaves much to be desired, and the room, while decent, didn't quite match the premium price. Overall, it's a solid choice for relaxation, but be prepared for mediocre dining options.

The resort is visually stunning with beautiful hot springs, but unfortunately, the service and accommodations fell short. We had a troubling incident with a rodent in our room and lackluster customer service exacerbated our experience, especially when trying to redeem a spa service. The cleanliness of the facilities was also a concern. Overall, while the scenery is lovely, improvements are much needed in terms of service and room safety.

Our room was visually appealing but old and had issues like a leaky roof. It felt overpriced given the circumstances.

My experience at this hotel was quite disappointing overall. The location is decent, close to a national park, but the rooms and service left a lot to be desired for the price we paid. The desperate need for maintenance and cleanliness, combined with a lack of proper service for guests, made my stay really unenjoyable. Personally, I'd recommend looking elsewhere for better hot springs experiences.
