One of my own favorite things to do here lies just out of town up the hill toward the volcano and lake, where several establishments have taken advantage of the geothermal hot springs spawned by the volcano to create resorts where visitors can splash around the warm waters. They each have a different feel to them. Baldi, for example, is a little more commercial-feeling, complete with bars, water slides, and party music, while those at The Springs Resort are lower key and more naturalistically landscaped. My favourite of these, however, are the pair of hot springs parks owned by the area’s most sophisticated resort, Tabacón (pictured here). Both gorgeously designed and landscaped, one is fairly simple while the other is quite elaborate, with all sorts of exotic nooks and crannies as well as restaurants and swim-up bars.
