The place is good, nothing extraordinary but comfortable to stay the night. The hotel itself has 2 small pools and 1 big one. That's on the hotel property, but if you cross the street and cross the blue bridge there are a variety of different-sized pools. Small pools for kids and some slash pads. There is also 1 really big pool that is 10ft deep end but also a medium-sized pool that's around 5 1/2 ft deep all around. The only thing I will warn you about is the water temperature, it's very hot!!! They're medicinal hot waters that are born from the mountains around the hotel. So, if you're sensitive to hot water this place is not for you, at all. This water isn't even warm, they're all halfway to boiling. But, if you are looking for hot water then this is the place for you. They have small ones if you want to soak and relax with a seat on the inside, they also have the bigger pools if you want to swim. They also have saunas on the hotel property and on the other side of the bridge to the other pools. One of the medium pools has a spout of hot water that gives a great massage with the water pressure. There are multiple bathrooms as well as showers. A lot of tables for you to sit and eat. Overall the place is nice and cozy and it was a nice stay.

El hotel es pequeño pero para pasar la noche esta bien,lo que si un poco descuidado, igual el balneario le hace falta mantenimiento. No haymuchas opciones de lugares donde comer.

El hotel es pequeño y las camas no son las mejores, pero el balneario está bastante bien. Muchas albercas y algunos toboganes. Alberca profunda abajo y otras más privadas arriba. Buen lugar para pasar en familia o con amigos. El costo por habitación (Oct 2021) es de $550 para dos personas y $900 para cuatro.

Para ser un hotel de pueblo, está bastante bien, los cuartos estaban limpios. Aunque las camas son de cemento y los colchones algo rigidos. Las almohadas muy delgadas así como las cobijas. Los baños limpios. Las albercas son de agua termal muuuuuy caliente, además si te hospedas ahí tienes acceso al balneario que está cruzando la calle (también con aguas termales) solo hay que cruzar un puente azul (el verde no es de ellos). Los cuartos tienen ventilador. En la ducha solo hay agua fría.

Muy sencillo pero bien para pasarla con la familia. No cuenta con televisión pero las albercas tienen servicio hasta las 10pm y agua termal todo el tiempo. Tienes acceso a el balneario cruzando el puente azúl y vale la pena ir. Muy cerca de Jalisco.
