Great day - Great day! Baldi resort and hot springs is beautiful and so relaxing. Being dramine if you get car sick because it’s 3 hours of twisty roads to get back to San Jose! But so worth it!

A must do tour - Fernando was AMAZING. Very knowledge, very interactive. It didn't feel like a 12hr day so much to see and do. We did everything I planned for a short stay. The hot springs was the perfect ending to the day. Beautiful scenery. Lunch and dinner were delicious.

Long ride to get to the... - Long ride to get to the destination and back but a very scenic ride. A good amount of time at the volcano observation point to walk around, do a short hike and take pictures. Plenty of time to relax at the hot springs resort. Make sure to have a change of clothes and a bathing suit. Have cash or a Visa or Mastercard to pay for drinks or additional food.

Good Service - It is a basic experience and in the thermals everything is expensive so you have to take everything from home.

Five stars until the return journey - The guide Maricela did an excellent job, mastered the story and made it interesting. He cared at all times for our needs. The beautiful place... we enjoyed my sister and I incredibly until the moment of return. The driver was very reckless, it rained a lot and the speed was not adequate. Arriving in Alajuela, the journey became a nightmare, even grabbing a build-up of water on the track that caused him to brake sharply. Please converse with him as a wonderful day ended badly.

Was Ehh - It was a cloudy day, so we didn't get to see the volcano. The hot springs were nice, though. The drive from San Jose was long. The bus was not the most comfortable.

Bad service and dishonest - The agency canceled my tour on the eve leaving me with no choice and no opportunity to make this tour. This after they have stated that the Tours were already confirmed. In total they canceled three of the Tours that I had already paid, claiming they were unable to close the group.
