My recent stay at Baldi Hot Springs Hotel and Spa in La Fortuna provided a mix of positives and negatives, ultimately leaving me with a mixed impression.
On the positive side, the hot springs themselves were very nice, clean, and conveniently located. They provided a relaxing retreat and were a highlight of the stay.
However, the experience was marred by several issues. The front desk staff were not attentive, leading to a lengthy check-in process and a lack of responsiveness throughout my stay. While the breakfast buffet offered a good variety of options, the lunch buffet was only average in quality.
Furthermore, I encountered issues with the hotel's policies regarding pool towels. Despite being provided with towels upon check-in, one was stolen while I was using the hot springs. When I approached the staff for assistance, they were unhelpful and failed to address the situation satisfactorily. To exacerbate matters, upon checking out, I was charged for the stolen towel, which felt unjust given the circumstances.
Although I enjoyed the attractions of La Fortuna, including its natural beauty, I do not plan to stay at Baldi Hot Springs Hotel and Spa again in the future. The lack of attentive service, coupled with policy enforcement issues, detracted significantly from what could have been a more enjoyable experience.
