Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We had an amazing experience at Las Lagos Hot Springs Resort! This was my second time visiting, and it was the perfect place to celebrate our honeymoon. The staff were wonderful—friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. Many seemed bilingual, which was especially appreciated. We even had staff at the springs restaurant recognize us and make us feel right at home. The grounds were beautifully maintained, and it was clear the staff took pride in caring for the property. The food was excellent, and the breakfast buffet was AMAZING with so many options. The hot springs were beautiful and offered plenty of choices for relaxing, privacy, and fun. My husband especially loved the water slide! The spa was incredible. We went twice and each did the relaxing balm massage and volcanic package. The products smelled and felt amazing, and the jungle sounds made the experience so relaxing. My only small complaint is that I wish more attention had been given to the tension in my back, and experienced this both massages I had. Our standard two-bed room was comfortable, with a garden outside and parking right nearby. We could easily walk to the restaurant and spa, and the front desk made booking tours easy. Overall, we felt safe, comfortable, and very well cared for. I would absolutely recommend Las Lagos to family and friends and would happily return again!"
