What a fun and relaxing find in the southern mountains of this lovely island!! $5 Access for visitors to a natural hidden gem of hot spring water that flows from a sulfur lava reservoir up into the mountains and out into constructed pools for bathing at two different warm & hot temperatures. The larger pool is hottest at the back near the spring, and cools off to around 90°F as the pool becomes more shallow. The smaller pool is hot all around 104°F. Bring bathing suit and towel, maybe a lock if you want to leave some valuables in a locker instead of outside around the deck or in your car. Snacks and water are helpful, but also available on site. Plan to spend an hour to 90 minutes for your visit to change go between pools a couple times and cooling off. Your fee includes well maintained clean pool deck areas, picnic tables and chairs with umbrellas, changing rooms, lockers (bring your own lock- but the area makes it easy to watch anything left on seats or sidelines), toilets, and outdoor shower for rinsing off before and after being in the waters. Extra fun touches include a spa soundtrack on speakers along with the natural sounds of birds and environment, a snack bar of options from meats and cheese in packaging to drinks and paletas frozen fruit bars. There are extras like hats, sun shirts, cups, and souvenirs. Even some natural herbal tinctures for extra healing benefits to add to your drinking water or to soak on a washcloth while you steam away in the hot baths. There's just enough room for about 50 people maximum between sitting areas outside of the pools and spaces in the pools. There are handicap accessible ramps for access to bathrooms, concessions, and pools. A friend commented that the waters were helpful for her neuropathy, and of course the hot waters help release muscle tension, while the sulfur content is good for skin! read more

I have always been lured to hot springs. It's something that fascinating me -- particularly since the hot water and minerals come straight from the earth. I've been to many around the world. But, never in the Caribbean. This one is pretty unique for that reason. It's located in a small town (Coamo) about 1.5 hours from San Juan. I came here after going to Toro Verde and it was some crazy, winding driving. But, the way from San Juan isn't too bad since it's mostly highway. The hot springs consist of two small pools. But, the setup is very nice. There is a zen/calming vibe to the place and peaceful music is playing in the background. The first pool (the larger of the two) is like a warm bath. It's warm enough to feel good and not hot enough to wear you out with the heat. The second pool is like a hot tub. You will feel a much hotter (but not unbearable) temperature. To me, it feels great. Very relaxing. Admission price is very reasonable. I think it was a total of $15 for 3 people. The concessions are also very cheap if you want drinks or snacks. Although this might be the smallest hot spring I've visited, I really enjoyed it. It's worth a stop if you are interested in this sort of thing and have time. Highly recommended. read more

Currently closed although advertised as open. We drove from San Juan for 1.5 hours to find that it was closed for renovation.

I have been wanting to come to this place for quite some time. Many years ago I visited a similar place except it was just merely a concrete bath tub and not much to look at. Fast forward to today and the place now looks like a resort. To gain access you pay the small sum of $3.00. They have two hot spring pools to enjoy. According to the staff there; one pool is at about 75 degrees and the other is at about 100 degrees. We first took a shower then jumped into the 75 degree pool. It was quite pleasant. After soaking for about 10-15 minutes (they recommend you do no more than 15 minutes at a time) we decided to try the hotter pool. At first it is a bit uncomfortable but once you get accustomed it feels really good. Your muscles and joints really feel good. We went in and out for several times. The water, pools and grounds were impeccably kept. It felt like you were in a zen garden. By the way as you were there they play relaxing music which helped produce a great zen vibe. After relaxing for a while we then visited their concession stand which had great snacks-we opted for the lemonade and fresh fruit. It was delicious. At the concession stand they had bathrooms/changing rooms which were very clean and private. Oh by the way, I highly recommend you sign up for the massage. Where else can you get a massage where it is actually $1 a minute. We decided to get 20 minutes and it was the perfect way to end a wonderfully perfect day. Overall I really enjoyed this place and am glad to see how it has progressed I will definitely be back on my next visit. read more

We went there with family for a relaxing and therapeutic day . We were not disappointed at all. There are two pools first one recommended to relax in for no longer then 10 minutes (75 degrees). After this venture over to the "HOT SPRINGS POOL " (100 degrees) and relax for no longer than 10 minutes. This was a perfect way to let out all inner & physical ailments . Strongly recommend having a cool beverage when exiting the pool to cool down . They sell beverages at a very reasonable rate . We will be back very soon . P.S. It is only $3.00 to enter , best kept secret in Puerto Rico read more

I first came here in 2002 and it was a rinky dinky plane cement pool. Thought I would never come back. But I did and to my surprise its 100% better. The staff received use at the entrance and explains to use the use of the facilities and the layout of the area. They were very friendly. it has a quaint little gift shop and a small room for massages at a dollar a minute minimum 10. Thou we came during the day they are open till 7pm so you can also visit at night. Best of all its a government run facility and its only $3 to use. read more
