"Volcano Lodge & Thermal Experience was a nice hotel with both a pool and a winding herbal pool. Our favorite part about the hotel and the reason we chose it was for the Thermal Suite."

"An extensive breakfast was also included in our stay, overlooking the hotel pool. The hotel pool is also filled with thermally heated water, so no complaints from kids (nor adults) about a cold pool."

"The hotel has numerous hot tubs set at different temperatures- so you can move from pool to hot tub to pool. The main pool has a nice swim up bar, and the water was very warm."

"First, the place was spotless, free breakfast buffet, superb, hot pools perfect and most services fine. My complaints are that separation of kid pool -adult pool (with bar) not enforced."

"I loved the pool is realy gentle with the skin and have no cloro and beautil place to spend time with the family and frieds i definitely goin back to have the best experience there."

"The children also loved the pool and played in it every night although it was a little cold however the jacuzzi was very hot and they warmed up in this after playing in the bigger pool."

"It is easy to walk to the restaurant and the hot pools. Since the campus is small, the pools are never crowded and El Silencio doesn't sell day passes like many of the resorts, so it is intimate and safe."

"They had several pools at different temperatures and a hot tub near the spa. The hot tub wasn't working while we were there, but we had a tub with jets on our porch we could fill at any time."

"There were both indoor and outdoor thermal hot tubs, hammocks, stocked mini bars, and both indoor and outdoor showers. The outdoor hot tub could easily accommodate six adults."

"We typically look for a local feel, and were pleasantly surprised by the seclusion of the pools. We were expecting lots of kids and people, but were the only ones in several pools."

"The real selling point was the hot tubs which we loved relaxing in after a day of activities. Lovely cocktails, best enjoyed in a hot jacuzzi so it doesn't matter if it's raining!"

"It was very nice to have access to all of the pools and restaurants at any of the three resorts on the property. Our favorite pool was Cielito Lindo, and we enjoyed 2 for 1 happy hour drinks every day!"

"We stayed for 2 nights and we did enjoy them greatly BUT… the cold pool closes at 6. Most people aren’t around during the day, we are out on tours and by the time we get back the hot pools are the only option."

"Obviously the higher up in the pools you go the warmer the water, but even in top pool water wasn’t hot. Swimming pool has an awesome view of the volcano but honestly didn’t spend much time in it."

"The pool is lovely (though the swim-up bar is not really existant) and there are slacklines and hammocks set up which makes even the downtime there enjoyable."

"There is a crystal clear, chlorine laden pool near the bar for those that want. The pools aren't super hot, but get warmer as you go up, and we found the top several to be very nice."

"My only recommendation would be to put 2 additional umbrellas by the pool, as it receives full sun during the day. The pool is on the small side but it was never very busy and perfect temperature to cool off."

"- Room had A/C and was quite spacious with a nice balcony overlooking the small pool in the center of the hotel complex. Pool looked nice as well although didn't use it."

"My son and I agreed the pool bartender made the best homemade pina coladas with fresh pineapple we had ever had (virgin for him) and my daughter loved the virgin mojitos. The pool and the pool bar were great."

"The tent comes with its own private swimming pool that is ~4ft deep and had couple of steps to sit in the pool. The pool was at a good size for 3 of us to have a good time."

"Once you get past that complex, you encounter the restaurant and pool facility, both of which were fairly nice and large. They have two hot tubs, which we used and appreciated."

"On our first day after doing a sloth and bird watching hike, came back and relaxed for the day reading in one of the in-pool loungers for hours."

"The other was the hot tub by the pool, which was cold the first night then too hot the next, However, both were quickly remedied by the hotel staff."

"The hot mineral pools, hot waterfalls and beautiful swimming pool are delightful, and the grounds are lovely and well-maintained."

"Super friendly staff, great food (the selection of breakfasts was really great), nice pool and two jacuzzis, awesome bungalows and lots of birds as your morning wake up alarm"

"Just a weird pool design overall. - The only perk about the pool is there's a smaller pool further down the main path of villas that offers a handicap-accessible ramp leading into the water: points for accessibility!"

"The pool and Jacuzzi hot tub were really nice but it rained most of the time we were there, and there is pretty much nothing to do at night."

"The place is so beautiful with beautiful garden, pool, outdoor seating and kitchen, even provides free laundry."

"Others had mentioned that the pool isn’t heated but it was warm enough for that not to matter."

"Plus there is a pool onsite and several good restaurants in the area so you definitely don’t need to be driving to La Fortuna every day (we went only one day out of our four-night stay)."
