It’s not clear on the property description the hours of access(11-10) to the springs or the fact that they let quite a few public visitors in every day - it gets crowded! It would be nice when paying almost $300 a night to at least get access to the springs without public present or to be able to go at night. There is one pool (which is neglected) for guests only, but it was cold and dirty. The campus is large so prepare to all everywhere. The bed was comfortable and for that I am grateful.

This is our second year in a row coming to Paradise Hot Springs resort and we will be coming back! It is a hidden gem, with beautiful spacious and clean rooms, amazing clean hot pools, beautiful grounds and views of the Arenal Volcano, and little bonuses like the Finca Cafe and the new infinity pool overlooking the volcano! Staff is amazing and helpful for anything you need for your stay in the La Fortuna area. Great breakfast cafe included, and the restaurant is very good and has live music several nights each week. Love this place!
