Great experience for the money. The thermal springs were amazingly relaxing. The grounds were clean and well kept. Dinner was simple but good. Compared to other local options (from free to very expensive) for the price this was the perfect choice!

Even though it was rainy, this was very enjoyable. In fact some folks say it is better in a light rain as it cools you off while you are in the hot water pools. There are several pools, left to right up to down, hotter to cooler. Some are large some are small. Some have seats, some even have loungers. There is a bar, and folks come around for service as well. We also had the buffet dinner. It was nice and I do recommend earlier rather than later. Large tour groups tend to come in which can make it difficult. It was very relaxing.

We loved our experience at Ecotermales Fortuna! We went around 5 pm for the evening time slot and it wasn’t too crowded at first. As the night went on, more people did arrive, but it never felt overly crowded. There are several pools of various temperatures to soak in, some with cascading waterfalls, and one with a black sand bottom. We went in them all and it was really fun. The drinks that you order from the bar are delicious and are delivered to you in the pools. Nearly everyone there was ordering drinks…the pina colada was really good! After a couple of hours soaking in the pools and watching the sun go down, we changed into our clothes and headed to the restaurant where we had a delicious dinner. We loved our time at Ecotermales and highly recommend it!

A relaxing end to the day, affordable price for the impressive green setting. Relaxing, perfect welcome, classic buffet meal (not great but that’s not why we go there!) Top notch and affordable cocktail. We highly recommend it for a magical evening!

A trip to Costa Rica is not complete without a visit to La Fortuna, Arenal, and the hot springs. La Fortuna is a hopping tourist town with an abundance of shops and restaurants. Arenal stands above it all smoking majestically and pumping out prodigious amounts of hot water, which a variety of resorts divert into their facilities. We visited Ecotermales Fortuna in the evening for a tasty buffet dinner before exploring the variety of hot spring pools. We met some nice people during our soak and emerged totally relaxed.

We booked an evening slot from 5 - 9:30 pm. We arrived along with a large group of people (tour buses), so reception had a lot to handle. The result was that reception was not as welcoming as we'd imagined they could be. That said, the place is clean, organized, has lockers and shower area and a very nice buffet-style eating area (in which they wisely stagger eating times for groups, which makes it nice). The hot spring area is nice, with different temperature pools - ranging from quite hot to cool...and they have "cooling" pools to give you a break from the heat. Staff serves drinks poolside. Overall, a nice experience, but for our tastes, a bit too many people in the pools. Would be really nice if you were lucky enough to hit it when there were less people. Still, worth a visit and fun. Note: you need to be dressed and dry to go into the eating area, so you should give some thought to when you want to eat.

Wonderful experience at the hot springs. The value was terrific for a family of four. We chose the early morning session and arrived promptly at 10am on a Sunday. Parking was easy as was the check in process. Lockers, showers, and towels are provided. We didn’t have any food while on property but we did enjoy the bar. Service at the bar was a little slow with just one bar tender. Would recommend the mojito as it was the best drink out of all the we picked. The hot springs are not huge but there is a variety of different temperatures. If you are looking for more romantic I would suggest going in the evening. The only drawback is chairs around the hot springs, there really isn’t enough for everyone. We found a few hours to be more then enough time to enjoy

It was a toss up for me between EcoTermales & Tabacon as my travel agent recommended either, but I’m so pleased I opted for this venue as it proved a wonderful experience, great value for money & a highlight of our our stay in La Fortuna. We had hoped to snag an eve slot but they had all gone, but in hindsight you may not fully appreciate the beauty of the setting at night?! We arrived early just before the opening time of 10.00, mindful that it was a hot sunny day so we wanted to ensure we grabbed a couple of loungers offering shade - this proved a very wise decision as others arriving much later were offered very little protection from the sun other than to take shade in the bar. Talking of which I decided against the inclusive buffet lunch option & opted to buy lunch at the poolside bar, which proved such a right decision, as you get to stay by the pools, the food was amazing & much better value…. oh & the cocktails poolside are also great!

As soon as we claimed our loungers and walked into the first pool, we felt all our cares and stresses just fade away. The lunch was amazing and the presentation beautiful. We watched the antics of two Great Currasows and we just didn't want to leave.

We visited the Eco Termales as part of a Gate 1 Tour. It was very enjoyable and relaxing and a bit of a splurge option on our tour. It’s not cheap to go here, but we considered this a small price to pay to pamper ourselves. We went early evening to enjoy the pools and enjoyed a buffet dinner included in the price. We started at the coolest pool, and worked up to the hottest. We felt the hottest was a little too hot. The hottest pool was also very shallow, where you need to sit in it to cover you. We liked the middle pool which was comfortably hot and still deep enough. They tell you not to shower for at least overnight to the next day, this allows for the maximum spa experience. Our skin felt so wonderfully soft after getting out of the pools, and for days afterwards! The buffet was pretty expansive, and had many choices, literally something for everyone. The drinks were also a little pricey, but they were large and very unique and tasty. Reservations are needed as they control the number of visitors. That keeps the visitor numbers reasonable and enhances the experience. This place is really beautiful and tranquil, nestled in the middle of a tropical forest. It is also very clean and well organized, lots of towels, lockers and changing areas. Eco Termales was a lovely, relaxing experience. Highly recommend!
