Amstar Insider Tip

Let's turn your vacation into something more!

Guanacaste’s hot springs are a truly relaxing experience, offering natural mineral-rich waters perfect for rejuvenation. For the best experience, bring a darker-colored swimsuit, as the natural minerals (like sulfur) may leave a faint trace but are great for your skin. After enjoying the soothing warmth, rinse off in the fresh spring water to feel extra refreshed, and don’t forget to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated while you soak in the healing waters!
