Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

8/10 Good
"Wonderful hot springs. Exceeded my expectations. And that view?? Unforgettable. Breakfast was FABULOUS. The only thing is that I could hear my neighbors pretty clearly and the excursions were pricyy (but I think still worth getting because they were easily accessible and so fun!). Overall, a great stay!"
