Tranquil Retreat

I had an amazing experience soaking in the hot springs pools, which offered multiple temperatures to choose from. Each was beautifully maintained and provided a peaceful retreat. The swim-up bar was a hit, and I enjoyed relaxing with a drink while listening to live music at night. The overall atmosphere was serene, especially after a busy day of excursions.

My stay at Paradise Hot Springs Thermal Resort was a mixed bag. On one hand, I absolutely loved the beautiful thermal pools and the stunning views of Arenal. However, my room felt a bit dark and isolated, plus the breakfast and dinner buffets were just mediocre. Still, if you’re looking for a relaxing soak and not too much fuss, this place might just be perfect for you.
