Mineral Hot Springs, Pools & Waterfalls
Embedded in scenic patches of rainforest, our hot springs provide our guests with great views of the volcano and a multitude of options. With temperatures ranging from 83 degrees Fahrenheit to 104 degrees Fahrenheit and environments that vary from raging waterfalls to tranquil forest experiences, our guests can find the perfect pool for their mood and the current weather conditions. Tests of our hot mineral springs reveal an ideal natural combination of high bicarbonate and high chlorides with relatively low sulfur content to provide a truly pleasurable soaking experience.
Las Lagunas Pools

Located at the base of the reception building, this enchanting montage of hot spring lagoons and chlorinated pools hosts our ever popular Las Lagunas Swim-Up Bar where you can enjoy a delicious tropical drink and a great view of the Volcano. In this area you can explore two acres of lush landscaping and an assortment of multi-level sun and shade terraces surrounding twelve pools all with cascading waterfalls. Eight of the pools are fed directly by our hot mineral springs and the other four are chlorinated but heated to comfortable temperatures for those hot, sunny days. These pools range in temperature from 86˚F to 103˚F.

Club Rio Springs
Open from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
We highly recommend you visit the Hot Springs at Club Rio Adventure Center. They are truly some of the most beautiful spring pools in the world, and most of them border the river, allowing for amazingly scenic views of the flora and fauna of the river canyon. It is a spiritual event just walking through the towering rainforest by the river’s edge and finding flowing hot spring pools around every turn in the trail. You don’t want to miss the crystal blue water of our famous Ojo del Agua (Eye of the Water) spring where you can feel the hot mineral water and bicarbonate bubbles flowing through your toes from the depths of the earth beneath you.
About Our Hot Mineral Springs
Our Hot Mineral Water is captured from natural springs near the river and are pumped up 420 feet (130 meters) to our pools. Each night at closing the pools are drained, cleaned and refilled starting at 6:00 AM. During the hours of operation new hot water continually flows into the system. The water is also circulated through a filtration system in these pools to eliminate some of the precipitated minerals and foreign contaminants.
