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 

Lovely get a way

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!

Highly recommended

We had planned on a trip to the Rio Negro Hot Springs in the Rincon National Park, as we had visited there some 10 years ago and had enjoyed the natural, secluded river side vibe they provided ( no one else was there the time we visited). But when we researched and found the current cost to  be some $30 US pp, we decided to try our hot springs experience elsewhere. An internet search led us to Colinas de Miravalles.

We didn’t stay overnight at this complex; we bought a day pass (5,000 colones /$9 US each) to enjoy the grounds and pools for the day,

I guess partially because their is no “attraction” listing on Tripadvisor, people perhaps aren’t aware of the existence of this place, because there were only a handful of others there. They have an assortment of pools with warm and warmer water temperatures; spacious grounds ( with change facilities, picnic tables and a nice view of Miravalles Volcano) etc. There is a small restaurant ( where we has a tasty, reasonably priced lunch) and massage facilities that my wife took advantage of, and friendly staff. You also have the option of bringing food and beverages with you, picnic style.

For the money, this was one of the best value Costa Rica experiences we had.

Day Pass

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.  

Peaceful and spotless hydrothermal pools

This was a very special experience; immaculately kept grounds, clean and beautifully furnished bungalows with private hot springs, a restaurant that serves great food and extremely friendly service (e.g. tips on access routes). If staying in a bungalow, you even get to use the public baths when closed to the public! Makes for a unique experience.

Hidden gem hot spring bungalows off the main tourist trail

A small family-operated lodging, clean and well-run. Our cottage was large and airy, with a good bed. The mineral pools were crystal-clear and lovely, they range from pleasantly warm to fairly hot. A sloth drowsed in the crotch of a tree right next to the largest pool while we were there. Well-prepared, fresh food and tasty cocktails, friendly prompt service.

Very comfortable and pleasant

We stayed two night with our three kids and it was a fabulous visit. Nice cabin with beds for everyone, lovely grounds, wonderful people, terrific food, great views. Kids liked the various iguanas and frogs, and we enjoyed birdwatching from the many warm tubs and pools. Staff also paid careful attention to sanitary measures.

Great Family Trip

Good thermal pools, lovely staff, great inexpensive food, smart rooms and good wildlife. A great compromise between good quality rooms and facilities, informal atmosphere and not too expensive. We particularly appreciated Carlos taking the time to tell us all about Costa Rica in our several chats. As others have said a lovely family run place. If we go back to Costa Rica it's the first place we'll head for.

For us - perfection.

Two couples in our group stayed 4nites. This family run hotel went out of their way to make us feel welcome and went over and above in helping is enjoy our time. Individual bungalows were spacious, modern and clean. There were seven thermal pools which were sparkling clear and clean. The breakfasts were enjoyable and were tailored to our preference. Home cooked meals were served and could be customized as desired. They also helped us choose and plan our outings.
The view of Miravelles volcano was spectacular! Will definitely return on our next trip to Costa Rica.

Fabulous Stay!

Absolutely lovely, from the cabins to the thermal pools to the gardens to the volcanic mountain views to the amazing family of hosts. We were travelling with an artistic friend who also works in the hospitality industry and this was her favorite stop on our trip not only because of the thoughtful touches that enhanced the land's natural beauty but also because of the authentic warm energy of our hosts and their attention to detail.
 
Definitely the cleanest, most pristine natural hot springs I've ever experienced, with cocktails brought out while you soak and enjoy the gorgeous misty pink sunset. (What?!) Cute nature trails to enjoy . . . and did we mention the rainbows? Never seen such a variety of sizes and shapes with amazing colors. Loads of wildlife -- even had a visiting toad in/on/around our toilet (who our hosts were kind enough to relocate outdoors for us), so this may not be the place for you if you don't enjoy some critters -- including beautiful butterflies, lizards, and more. 

Super-close to Las Hornillas Activity center (which was definitely a bit run down, but fun). Also, if you are a culture nerd, I highly recommend the tour of a local "chocolate farm," Occidental. I've been on "eco tours" of farms in the past but never received such a detailed sharing of information from a farmer so passionate about what they do as a caretaker of the environment. Incredibly impressive!
