Hot Springs Paradise

I spent hours soaking in the beautiful hot springs at Baldi. Each pool had a unique temperature, allowing me to find my perfect spot. One pool with jets was perfect for my sore back. The atmosphere was truly serene, and I felt my stress melt away. The lush landscape made it a tropical paradise I never wanted to leave!

Great Family Fun!

Our kids had an absolute blast using the water slides at Baldi. They loved jumping from pool to pool, especially the kiddie slides. It felt safe and fun for them, while we relaxed in the warmer pools. This is a perfect spot for families looking to have enjoyable and entertaining bonding time!

Sebastian

United Kingdom, January 2025

7.8/10

We had a pleasant stay at this resort with its great pools and spacious junior suites. The breakfast buffet was a delightful perk, and the pools offered plenty of options for the whole family. However, walking around the resort can be a bit much at times, and my experience with the water temperature in the shower was frustrating.

Rooms

The junior suites were roomy, featuring a king-sized bed, sofa bed, and a desk, making them quite comfortable for our family.

Service

7.0

The staff was accommodating, especially when I raised concerns about the sliding area by the pool, which showed they are attentive but perhaps needed better resources for guest injuries.

Location

The resort is well-placed, with tours conveniently picking us up right in front of the property, making it easy to explore nearby attractions.

Dining

7.0

Breakfast was included and offered a wide variety of options, but the dinner buffet on site felt a bit pricey at $22 per person.

The multiple pools were fantastic, with varying temperatures, although I noticed one slide area was too slippery, posing a safety concern.

Staying at this hotel felt more like being at a crowded waterpark than a relaxing resort. While the hot springs were beautiful and varied, the overwhelming number of day pass visitors really took away from the overall experience. The rooms were clean but not as plush as I expected for the cost. I was disappointed with the dining options as the food quality was poor and not suitable for hotel guests seeking decent meals.

We enjoyed our stay at this resort. The hot springs were stunning and not overcrowded, making for a relaxing experience. Our family loved the spacious rooms and morning views from the balcony, but we did feel a bit uneasy about leaving our belongings by the pools due to the day passes sold to visitors. While the dining was pretty good, we found the prices for drinks to be quite steep. Overall, we had a great time but faced some challenges with service and pool towel availability.

I had a wonderful experience at this stunning resort. The landscaping and pools are absolutely gorgeous, and the ambiance is luxurious.

Overall, it's a fantastic location with plenty to offer, especially for families.
