          Wonderful Experience
          This was a great experience and I would highly recommend this service. The company was very accommodating and easy to coordinate with. Offered to stop and eat and had bottles of water.

          Book a massage through the hotel instead of a day pass
          Check in with my day pass was slower than it should have been. I had to double park my car, wait in line at front desk to be told to instead wait in line at concierge desk where my day pass was un recognized because it cam through trip advisor. I showed ID then my ticket and then was asked to wait through a series of calls until they could confirm I had a. Day pass which took 15 min. After that was over, I parked my car and went on with enjoying the hot springs and resort which was beautiful and lunch was delicious. It was clear the resort is a well oiled machine but check in through trip advisor was not. If I had it to do again. I would have just purchased a massage through the hotel which gives you a day pass and enjoyed the hot springs that way. I tried to book a late notice massage while I was there, but they were all booked. While at the spa, I noticed the spa and massage area was like something out of a dream. Book a massage instead of a day pass.

          Over-hyped. Don't go beyond the waterfall if it is raining; the hike is strenuous and the ultimate location not worth it
          We had heard great reviews about this tour but it did not live up to the hype. The persistent rain and trail conditions to Tenideros made the hike very difficult. Perhaps as a result of the rain, the advertised changing water color at Tenideros did not materialize--way over sold! I would not recommend going beyond the waterfall if it is raining. Also, I highly suspect that the promotional photo of the waterfall has the water color doctored as the waterfall is way downstream from Tenideros.

          Not worth it, overhyped!! Avoid that place!
          Not worth it at all! We thought we were gonna have the time of our lives, in an amazing and luxurious place (90USD per person just to access the pools). Don't get me wrong the pools are really pretty and it must have been a lot of work. However, it is NOT worth $90 each! They just give you a simple towel, no robe, no drink or food included, parking does not feel safe even though it's supposed to be part of it, and staff was not even friendly nor helpful, no hairdryer, no way to change the pressure for the showers, nor to choose hot or cold water while showering (plus, showerheads were all rusty!). Definitely not worth it, good if some people liked it but honestly save your money and take your business elsewhere! We had better showers in most hostels we went to in the past! I would honestly recommend going to Termalitas Arenal, we went the day before going to Tabacón and it was way better! Paid only $8 per person for full day entrance (you can get in and out whenever as long as you have your bracelet, you can bring your own drinks and food...), so worth it! And the pools were REALLY hot, not like Tabacón where it was not accurate nor hot, just warm. Hopefully they'll whether lower the price or increase the quality of the offer because for now it's not worth it, not even close to.

          Long wait to enter (no benefit to buying advance tickets)
          Lots of hot springs pools but little variation in temperature. There was a very long line/wait to get into the place (see pic) even if you bought your ticket in advance, like we did. I see no benefit to buying advance tickets. The lunch was average, but there was also a very long line for the buffet. So the whole experience was just average.

          Great place!!
          Very professional and friendly guides. We did sloth and wildlife tours. Thumps up for places like these who are passionate about helping animals and at the same time educating people. Loved it.

          Relaxing after a long day of hiking
          It was a beautiful location with lots of activities and a variety of pools with different temperatures. The waterslides were great for our teenagers, & my husband and I loved the hot pools.

          Very pleasant and comfortable transfer
          Byron, Tico Paradise Costa Rica, provided a smooth ride from Arenal to Papagayo, almost a 3 hour drive across Costa Rica. The van was new, very clean and comfortable. Byron kept up a pleasant conversation and was very informative of the sights and the history of Costa Rica. Great conversation and smooth ride.

          Relaixng, Enjoyable Experience
          This was a last minute thing, since another tour was cancelled last minute. My travel agent was able to get me in same day, which I didn't expect. I did the day pass with lunch. The restaurant is lovely, good views of the springs and wildlife. The waiter was attentive and friendly and pointed out various birds and an iguana so I could get pictures. The food was delicious - the portions were huge! After lunch I did the springs. I don't like lots of people around ma but it wasn't crowded at all and I felt like I had my own space. I just wandered around, sat in this spring or that, until I found one that I just sat in for a bit. I didn't feel rushed, like I was intruding on anyone or that I was intruded upon. The facilities were clean and the staff was friendly. A great way to spend an afternoon-I would definitely go back!

          Excellent experience for couples
          We enjoyed every bit of it. Bryon picked us up on time and took us on a little tour before taking us to the hot springs. We spent the entire day there, pool hopping and pina colada drinking, even though it rained. The ambience, especially at the natural spa was beautiful. We also had an exhilarating experience at the water slides. Great service. We highly recommend

          Horseback riding at Pacos Stables arranged by Tico Paradise
          We had a wonderful time horseback riding at Pacos Stables at Mistico Park! It was arranged by Tico Paradise, which offers multiple riding options and includes the transportation to/from. The horses were well taken care of and the ride was beautiful. We rode through pastures and on gravel road, going up and down the mountain. The views at the top were breathtaking of the Arenal volcano and lake!! Byron, our driver with Tico was extremely knowledgeable and offered all kinds of advice for the area. It was a great tour as a whole.
