You asked…

What is the lunch or dinner included with the Springs Resort Hot Springs Pass?

We answered…

The Springs Resort hot springs pass (whether it be the 1-day pass including transportation or the 2-day pass excluding transportation that interests you) includes 1 meal at the resort. This meal is provided by the resort’s on-site Tres Cascadas restaurant (we love its incredible volcano view!), and is served either a la carte (where visitors are given a set menu offering select plate options to choose from) or buffet style (where visitors choose their own food smorgasbord-style) depending on the season, the number of guests staying at the hotel, and other factors influencing the resort’s meal-type preference. This decision is made day to day, so it is not possible to know in advance which type of meal will be served (unfortunately it is also not possible to request one type over the other with your reservation). Typically dinner is included most often with the hot springs pass (as the majority of travellers opt to visit the hot springs during the evening), however lunch may be included (instead of dinner) if desired.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

Lunch is served at the Tres Cascadas restaurant between 11:00am and 5:00pm.Dinner is served at the Tres Cascadas restaurant between 5:00pm and 10:00pm. Casual dining attire (no bathing suits) must be worn in the restaurant (please plan your hot spring pass visit times accordingly). Advance reservations for lunch or dinner are not required, however advance reservations or the hot springs 1-day pass or 2-day pass are (see the links provided below for discounts for each).
