Heavenly Hot Springs

The thermal pools at Paradise Hot Springs were a true oasis of relaxation for me. I loved how I could move from one pool to another, each with its own unique vibe and temperature. The surrounding tropical plants added to the serene atmosphere, making each soak feel like a mini-vacation. I particularly enjoyed lounging in the bar area of the hot springs with a cocktail in hand, soaking up the beauty around me. It was hard to leave these tranquil waters at the end of the day!

Luxurious Bathrooms

The bathrooms in the rooms at Paradise Hot Springs were simply exquisite. I appreciated having a large space with both indoor and outdoor shower options. The dual sinks made getting ready in the morning a breeze. After a long day, it was the perfect retreat to enjoy a long soak in the bathtub, creating a tranquil spa-like experience right in my room.

Our stay at Paradise Hot Springs was absolutely delightful! The stunning views, especially of the volcano, paired with luxurious hot springs made for a fantastic experience. The rooms were spacious and meticulously clean, and the food on-site was genuinely excellent. The overall experience, including the late-night hot spring dips, was magical. However, it can get quite busy at times, which might detract from the tranquility we sought.

This resort has stunning thermal pools that are a highlight of the stay, making it a relaxing escape. The rooms are beautifully furnished and immaculate, but I found them a bit dark and in need of some more natural light. The dining experience was lacking, particularly breakfast, which had a very limited selection. Overall, it's moderately priced for what you get, but if you're looking for a more personalized experience, you might want to consider other options.
