9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (535 reviews)
"The cabins were excellent, with private pools. The volcanic waters are out of this world: hot, relaxing, therapeutic. The mountains surrounding are impressive, pristine. The gardens are well tended and contribute to a civilized experience. We had massages and the four of us were unanimous about the quality of the care, the technique, the experience. The restaurants are well staffed by caring people, and offered excellent food. It was my third time at Termas Papallacta, and clearly the best."
