A great place to relax in La Fortuna
A great place to relax and unwind in La Fortuna. Excellent service, lots of wonderful thermal pools with varying temperatures, good food, and multiple swim up bars that serve delicious and freshly made cocktails. They had a sauna cave! Great restaurants to dine that serve ala carte food also. We had so much fun, we will go back there for sure whenever we are in the area.

Awesome experience for the entire day with kids
Awesome experience. Easy to spend the day enjoying the various hot springs. Water slides were fun and very speedy, so not for the weak hearted. Very clean and well-maintained facility. Lots of parking. Buffet food spread had lots of variety and was tasty.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you and your family had such an awesome day at Baldi Hot Springs Resort. It’s great to know you enjoyed the variety of hot springs, the exciting water slides, and the buffet selection. We especially appreciate your comments about the cleanliness and maintenance of the facilities, as well as the convenience of the parking area. We truly appreciate you choosing this experience and hope to welcome you back to La Fortuna again in the future!

We chose to do this the...
We chose to do this the day after we landed as it was a long travel day. That was the right move. This was fun, relaxing and a unique experience for my 8 year-old daughter. The views were beautiful, staff very friendly and the different pools were fun. If you’re feeling adventurous, there are 3 slides that are insane! Purchasing tickets online was a way better choice. There was a long line when we arrived and we were able to go right to the front, check-in and then head into the hot springs. We added the dinner option to our visit. Lunch buffet runs from 12-3, dinner runs from 5-8/9 (can’t remember). There is a restaurant toward the entrance if you need a snack and there are swim up bars located through the hot springs for drinks or smoothies.
Response from the operator: Dear Cassandra, Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you and your daughter enjoyed such a fun and relaxing experience at Baldi Hot Springs Resort Hotel & Spa — especially after a long travel day. It’s great to hear the advance booking made your arrival smooth and stress-free. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again soon! Pura vida! 🌿 Arenal Hike & Adventures Team

Book it directly
We spent about 3.5 hours at this resort. The pools were fine. The water slides was really fun, border line dangerous. Bunch of people were walking away with back, head banged up. I saw a couple of smaller kids who not knowingly went into the middle slide and were crying at the end. I do not recommended using a third party operator like Arenal hike adventures to book this place. Just contact them directly and book it. It will be cheaper and you don’t have to purchase the 1 meal plan. They are charging $24/person for meal. You can eat really well for much less than that other places. Once you have the wristband, you can leave the place and then come back.
Response from the operator: Dear Hiten, Thank you for your feedback and for sharing your experience. We’re glad you enjoyed parts of your visit, especially the pools and slides at Baldi Hot Springs Resort Hotel & Spa. Guest safety is very important, and we always recommend following on-site guidelines, particularly for the waterslides. Regarding your comment about booking, we would like to clarify that our rates include added value such as customer support, secure booking assistance, and coordination, which many travelers find helpful when planning their trip. We appreciate your input and will continue working to provide the best possible experience for our guests. Pura vida! 🌿 Arenal Hike & Adventures Team

Baldi Hot Springs Resort – Day Pass with One Meal: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Fortuna.
How much does Baldi Hot Springs Resort – Day Pass with One Meal cost?
+
Prices start at $84 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Fortuna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Baldi Hot Springs Resort – Day Pass with One Meal take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Fortuna is not rushed.
Is Baldi Hot Springs Resort – Day Pass with One Meal worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 50 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Fortuna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Baldi Hot Springs Resort – Day Pass with One Meal?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Baldi Hot Springs Resort – Day Pass with One Meal suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Baldi Hot Springs Resort – Day Pass with One Meal?
+
Around 18 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Fortuna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Fortuna and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Baldi Hot Springs Resort – Day Pass with One Meal start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Fortuna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in La Fortuna?
+
On Outty we rank every La Fortuna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Upper Balsa River White Water Rafting Class 3/4 in Costa Rica, White Water Rafting Class II and III, Authentic Coffee and Chocolate Tour at North Fields. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit La Fortuna?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in La Fortuna?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Baldi Hot Springs Resort – Day Pass with One Meal?
+
Included: Lunch; and Dinner. Not included: Lockers, Towels not included availlable for rent in the resort $7; Private transportation; and Towels provided with $10 refundable deposit. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
