Excellent experience!! The guides were outstanding and we had a tremendous time!!! Highly recommended!!
The trip did not seem planned at all. The driver was talking on the phone the whole time, did not wear a seat belt, the minibus had engine lights on, he had to keep adding oil and we had to be delayed to return. He took a curve on the totally dark road and scared us tremendously. At the Hotel Los Lagos the restaurant staff was rude. We tried to use the spa to get a massage and the workers were so lazy that even though they were free, they told us to come back in an hour. Everything very ridiculous. It would seem that this country does not want tourists.
Anny was amazing. So sweet and professional, she took us to a nice breakfast spot, the drive was beautiful and comfortable in a small group, she let us pull over to see a wild sloth, then there was a lot of time at the hot springs. Very fun, safe, and beautiful!
A must!! The Ride Up Was a scenic trip within itself. And The Resort was everything we could ask for. It would not disappoint. Fun!!
The views of the volcano are spectacular (if the skies are clear). The hot springs are relaxing and there are plenty to discover so that it did not feel crowded. The buffet lunch in the restaurant was delicious. The changing room and lockers were convenient for day trip travelers.
When I wrote to the tour guide to confirm we were going to the listed hotsprings on the website, they cacncelled on us the day before. It left us with nothing to do on our last day there. Terrible service.
The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The volcano was surreal. The hot springs hit the spot. The food was good.
Poor, overpriced experience. Tried to skip the volcano. Left us for 6 hours at the hot springs. No reason for it to start at 430am. Don't recommend at all.
Bad attention and seriousness. They sell you one thing and give you another. It's not Baldi Hot Springs. It is to a different place with less quality and service. The guide didn't even know where we were going, it seemed more like she was going on vacation. Disappointed and not recommended at all.
Nothing described in the information was true I only spent 20 minutes in the viewpoint of the volcano and 2 hours in the hot springs the worst was the guide !!!! I didn’t know where she was standing or know the place either I didn’t know anything when you asked her something .....what if I knew was to hurry at lunchtime to leave !!! 'Cause I wanted to get to the bad bunny concert that's what I talk to the driver all the way through. We didn't eat lunch at all unhappy and the whole group thought the same thing. We were 9 people. Until I wanted to know who you are. To ask for half my money.
