Volcano Lodge Hotel & Thermal Experience

Volcano Lodge Hotel & Thermal Experience

10/10 Excellent
"Breakfast Buffet had a variety of foods to eat. Had an egg/omelette station. I did notice Costa Rica food in general is not heavily seasoned but you can ask for salt shakers/ketchup/etc if you desire. The swimming pool provided a nice contrast to the hot springs. All hot springs were the same temperature it felt. The swim bar area was a bit noisy but that sound could be drowned out with the bubbles from the hot springs. Sauna wasn't really that hot. They have a second pool but never visited I was ok with screaming kids in the main pool. Rooms were basic rooms, has a nice private terrace. No microwaves, ample storage. No bugs/critters. Air conditioning worked well. Since the buildings are single storey you do hear the rainfall which can be crazy heavy at times. Location was only a 10 minute drive to downtown La Fortuna. Easy location for Uber rides. Unfortunately not walkable to many places as you are a bit further out. No view of the volcano from the property. You could barely see it from the front parking lot, as it was cloudy all days except for 2 hours when we were there. Front desk can break down larger CRC bills as well as USD bills. Was a great home base for all of our excursions, as after all that walking you could go and soak in the hot springs."
