About
The family owned and operated natural hot springs, which allow only a limited number of guests each day, provide a private, relaxing oasis during your vacation.There are five pools, one with a cascading waterfall, which reach up to 108 degrees Fahrenheit. There is no better way to unwind after a long day than by visiting the hot springs and treating your body to its naturally replenishing effects. When taking a break from the soothing hot springs, you can dine in the authentic, home-style Costa Rican restaurant.

Our family had a wonderful time at Ecotermales Fortuna! The location was kid friendly, clean change rooms, lockers for all of your belongings and really easy to drive to with free parking. We tried all of the different pools while relaxing with some drinks. The buffet dinner included was also very nice and was a great way to end our time there.

The thermal pools are amazing. Lots of space. Nice varying temperature including a few cooler pools to refresh. Drinks are reasonably priced. We recommend getting the buffet included and going in the evening. It was very nice at night and in the rain.

We truly enjoyed our day at Ecotermales. The setting is beautiful with different temperature options among the pools. It never felt crowded and it was so relaxing. We enjoyed cocktails and walked the grounds a bit. We were entertained by howler monkeys and enjoyed very good burgers ordered from the bar. Such a great way to treat yourself in a stunningly beautiful environment.

The Springs pools were stunning and spacious. We had dinner as well which was just an okay buffet, wouldn’t recommend going for the food just the springs.

I loved that my boyfriend and I went here. After a bust day of hiking and activities, we came here and it was at great. It didn't feel crowded and we just felt so relaxed. I only did 4 out of 5 because we had the buffet and I wouldn't do that again. But besides the buffet, everyone was great..

With sunset so early right now, is the dark a problem for getting around the various pools during the evening reservation time?

I think it was $40 each. There is a deal that includes a meal but it was fairly basic food. We paid separately for food. That price is from 10am to4pm. There is another period from 4 to 10pm too for the same money.
Lots of places to stay. We stayed at Campo Verde which was very good. We reviewed it too.
They recommended reservations but we didn’t and had no problem. You can visit and view the springs area for free to see if you like it. We did that and went back the following day.

I want to visit Ecotermales in February for the daytime visit (10-4).
Do I have to arrive exactly at 10 am or can I choose to arrive later if I want?
How far in advance should I reserve?

We just went on our own schedule, you don’t need to be there exactly at 10. On the other hand, we were and almost had the place to ourselves.

Hi,
I’ thinking of going there in the evening, but i’m not sure about the transportation... we are renting a 4wd, but how dangerous would it be driving back to our hotel at night (we’re staying at the casa luna hotel)?

Shouldn’t be a problem. The main roads around there seemed easy to follow and not bumpy/pot holed. The road to Arenal volcano was very rocky so I would avoid that one in the dark. We also did the springs in the evening and enjoyed a meal in the restaurant too. Hope you have a lovely time.

It this hot springs appropriate for kids? We have a 4, 6, 8, and 10 year old who really want to experience hot springs but want to make sure kids are welcome and safe.
