If you’re reading this now, do NOT get sucked into Baldi’s "dinner package." I was just there (paid $44 for the package through my hotel) and it was cafeteria-style self-service "food" that ranged from vile to literally inedible. That plus the very unappealing dining hall (yes, it was like a college dining hall) was a real jolt after the mellowing experience of the springs.

I hurt my shoulder and got a bump on the back of my head on the slide there:) Definitely want to return, though...perfect place to go when it is raining.

[iCostaRica24]

@Plantfoam You got that right......

[msullivan85]

@Plantfoam right...i hear that man. It was raining the whole time we were there..amazing

[ReebHound]

Those slides are the craziest slides ive EVER gone down, my bother we down (when i was somewhere else) and he said he hit his head so hard, so i was like PFFT PUSSAAY, and then i went down it like i took a dive down it, i srsly almost got knocked the fuck out. i got air for 1/3 of the slide. Srsly ive gone down some fast slides, if you go there the slides are FUN! but wear a helmet.

[iCostaRica24]

@ReebHound haha....helmet, that's a good tip. It's funny, the slides look pretty basic, but once you get on them.... look out.

[icejames14]

yeah i couldnt walk cuz my tailbone was all messed up

[kutubu1]

wonder if there are no snakes, lizzards or other biting things in that pool

[iCostaRica24]

@kutubu1 ahha....I don't think so. We've been there LOTS of times,,never seen anything....I think the water is much to hot.

[icejames14]

very true my friend very true

[icejames14]

either way they were so fun and completely worth the pain i had the rest of the week hahaha

[iCostaRica24]

@icejames14 haha...no pain, no GAIN.

[icejames14]

shit those slides fucked me up

[iCostaRica24]

@icejames14 Me, I personally won't go down them....but they have gotten better, not quite as lethal as they once were, or so I'm told....lol

[laxplayer661]

@icejames14 haha, they were the steepest i saw. the one onthe right side especially. i got banged up pretty bad.

Oh boy, with which authority can you go and manipulate the perception that the general and respectable public will get from a tourism place, with TOTAL lack of knoledge of the reality of a whole community and place, First of all, THERE ARE NOT OVER 500 HOTSPRINGS at la fortuna area, second, the place that you ´´describe´´ has more than 120 employees making a living out of their jobs at Baldi, and third Costa Rica is a tourusty country which a fifth of the gross income is from tourism

[iCostaRica24]

We know this isn't our BEST video by a long shot, and we don't mind constructive feedback,,,,but you need to be accurate.. listen again, we don't say their are over 500 hot springs.... we say over 5..... and frankly, I don't care how many people work there, we pass on INFO and our perspective..... for a party and social atmosphere its the Best hot spring option- I LOVE BALDI....... but NOT everyone wants a party.....

[juanchanto]

Five other ones...I know i deffend very jealously my country towards any sort of unfair attack, but this time since I am very brave to stand up against things that are not fair I MUST appoint the ones that are fair, so it is absolutely fair to offer a PUBLIC APPOLOGY SINCE I MISUNDERSTOOD FIVE OTHER ONES for FIVE HUNDRED ONES, sorry and keep up the good job with the information, by the way I also share the feeling about the social atmosphere...

[iCostaRica24]

Juan,,,, no problem and no apology necessary. I watched this video again,,, and it's easy to see how you miss-heard it. We appreciate your feedback and your comments. Please, keep them coming, it only HELPS us get the word out on how beautiful the people and the country of Costa Rica IS. pura vida.

[juanchanto]

thanks very much...

[beachphotog]

Does Baldi know you've posted this ?

Is this supposed to be a tour of Baldi ?

Your narrative is pretty negative toward Baldi, it's as if you are surprised that it's a tourist attraction...da ..also your camera work is shoddy and blurry.

Since they let you use a cart, I doubt they knew you were going to put the place down in your commentary.

Over all this is nothing but a put down on a rather nice place to visit .

[iCostaRica24]

Well, you're definitely RIGHT on a few fronts. 'Shoddy and blurry' is an understatement as we did this VIDEO a LONG time ago,,,,before we were doing what we do now...originally intended to just give someone a feel for the place. We'll be doing another one in the near future. BUT, Baldi is a tourist attraction and extremely 'touristy' it could be anywhere in the world. It fills a niche for a younger, crowd,,more lively, party people...are commentary is accurate

[1981peteach]

[juliettemyers]
