One of the most popular things to do in La Fortuna is to spend a relaxing day in one of the many hot springs. This area is so famous for the hot springs because they are naturally heated by the Arenal Volcano close by. You can choose from hot springs in all different price ranges, and depend on the accommodation you choose; you might have access to their hot springs included.

We stayed at the exceptional Tabacon Resort for two nights and had access to their famous and gorgeous hot springs included in our stay. You don’t have to stay at their Resort to visit their hot springs. You can get a day pass to enter the hot springs, and you will have food included. But the prices for day passes are relatively high, so we found staying at the hotel is the better option compared. Also, as guests from the resort, we had earlier access to the springs at 8 am, while with a day pass, you can enter at 10 am. The price for a day pass with one meal starts at 85 USD per person.

If you look for a cheaper option to relax at a hot spring, you can have a similar experience at Eco Termales Fortuna for about half the price. Also just a few meters down the road from the entrance of Tabacon Hot Springs you fill find natural, free hot springs.
