Colinas del Miravalles Hotel & Hot Springs

Stunning beautiful grounds with 8 crystal clear pools of varying temperatures. The helpful and highly attentive staff was exceptional. My wife was sick the night we arrived. The manager drove to the market because she wanted bananas and crackers. Everyone was so friendly. The one site restaurant was delicious.

This was a last-minute addition to our trip (we basically just needed an extra night up north) but it turned out to be one if its highlights! The place is beautiful, food is great, the thermal springs - .both public and the little private one we had at our cabin - were enjoyable, and the staff was super helpful and friendly. Even better, since we were visiting during the off season we had the whole place pretty much to ourselves (only one other cabin was occupied). I'm seriously considering coming back for a longer stay next time we are in Costa Rica!

Excellent! We loved our time here. Beautiful well kept hot springs, nice grounds, cool weather. The room was perfect as well. Clean, simple, lots of windows, nice ceiling fan. No ac needed. We saw nice wildlife as well. Keep your eyes in the trees for toucans and other birds. Lovely included breakfast. Host acomodated our vegan diet. Will deffinately be back, highly recomend. Pura vida

We received a warm welcome from Carlos upon our arrival & then taken to our lodge, no 4. There were 2 double beds & bunk beds. TV, & refrigerator and ceiling fan. The dining area catered for our inclusive breakfast, lunches & Dinner as-well as the bar. Service was quick & efficient and meals very tasty. All the staff spoke English although we did attempt as much as possible our Spanish😊 The hot springs were set in lovely well maintained gardens. We enjoyed our 5 night stay here & surrounding area.

We spent 6 days at Colinas del Miravalles as part of a three-generation family vacation. The location is beautiful, with views of the Miravalles volcano and surrounding area. The cabins and pools are very well maintained. We rented cabins 1, 2, & 5. Cabins 1 & 5 each have a small thermal pool. There are also several larger thermal pools with volcano views across the driveway. Even though the larger pools are open to day visitors, they were never crowded. We enjoyed relaxing in the pools and eating in the open air restaurant (rancho). We all did an excursion to the Llanos de Cortez waterfalls, and some family members hiked on the Miravalles volcano and to the La Leona waterfall. The weather was very comfortable during our stay, and we even had one rainy day (which surprised us since it was late January). The family that runs the Colinas is wonderful—very helpful and accommodating! Muchas gracias a Carlos, Bélgica, Juan Carlos y todas las personas que trabajan en Las Colinas! If you travel without a car as we did, it’s good to know that the staff at Las Colinas can arrange for transportation by people working at the nearby Guayabo Animal Rescue organization, and that the money you pay goes to this organization. Muchas gracias a Didier y Luis!

We stayed here in a standard bungalow for three nights and really enjoyed the place. Accomodations are simple, homey and clean. From Bungalow #2 we had a clear view of the volcano whenever the clouds cleared away. The 8 hot pools of different depths, layouts and warmth are enough to please any guests. Day visitors are allowed for a modest fee. The thermal pools have a flow-through water system and are drained 2-3 times a week so there is no algae, no sulfur smell and the water is crystal clear. Great maintenance. Breakfasts are good and there are a couple of nearby restaurants for other food choices. The Miravalles Volcano region really has few attractions but the more touristy area of Bijagua is a 1.5 hour drive on a great paved road. If visiting Bijagua, don't miss Bijagua Ranas wildlife/nature park. It was the best $20/per person we spent on our entire trip throughout Guanacaste. Sloths and monkeys are just some of the stars here. The hotel is family owned and their pride in the place shines through. Every member of the family and the staff were delightful.
