We were thinking "it's 30 degree, why would you want to go and sit in hot springs?" But, wow, i'm glad we did. We took a tricycle from the hotel, which cost Php 500 for the round trip and 1 hour waiting time. We ended up extending and spending 2 hours at the springs. The tricycle driver charged an extra Php 100 per extra hour of waiting. (There are also some nice views of the port / ocean on the way there.) We had aching muscles from island hopping a few days earlier and a long soak in the therapeutic hot springs certainly helped a lot. The entrance fee was Php 200 per person. There are some changing areas but there are no showers - hot or cold. (Bring your towel and a change of clothes for the ride home ) The Hot Spring is basically a large circular pool of about 20m diameter and about 3 feet deep fed by two smaller pools taking water from a natural hot spring. (the Japanese would call this an "onsen".) The temperature is apparently 38 to 41° (C) and while it seems quite hot when you first get in you quickly become used to it. There is a step or "love seat" around the edge of the pool so once you start to feel too hot you can sit on the edge waist deep or just soak the lower half of your legs. When we visited there was enough of a breeze to cool you down once you came out of the water. There are plenty of picnic tables and the small kiosk selling water cold beer and basic snacks. At the back of the facility where the spring water flows out to the ocean is a small viewing deck with beautiful views and great for photos. If you need to soak some aching muscles, or sweat out a big night of drinking, or just want a beautiful place to visit especially as a couple, then the hot springs should be on your to do list.

Naga to Panicuason Day Trip — I went on a Thursday morning — If taking public transport, take the Panicuason jeep infront of Hong’s Entrrprises (right in the middle of city center; find in Google maps) — Jeep waiting time is at least 30 minutes; the jeepney needs to be full (of passengers) before it leaves the terminal — trip is approximately 45 minutes; one jeep has 26-30 passengers so be prepared to get squeezed; fare is P25 one way — tell the driver to drop you off at Panicuason hot spring; it’s beside the highway with a signage — pay P200 entry fee at resort entrance beside highway; it’s 1.3 km from the highway to main resort — if you feel the 5 minute motorbike trip at P40 one way is a rip off, be ready for a hike although most of it is downhill; from the resort going back to the highway, the hike therefore is more uphill and therefore more intense; not recommended for senior citizens and children — the hike is 15-20 minutes one way, not an hour. I know the timing better than the other reviewer as I actually hiked the entire route — if you’re paying just the entrance fee, you’ll have no table and chairs to dump your stuff at the resort. Keep your belongings safe by keeping an eye on them all the time. Bring them near the pools where you swim. — the shower and changing room is not convenient which near the entrance/ exits — bring slippers/ flip flops! I made a mistake of not bringing one. The pools to the shower/ changing rooms are not connected by smooth pavement so tough luck if you didn’t bring any as you need to step barefoot on the painful gravel — the warm/hot water pools is on the side of the mountains while the freezing cold water is on the other side — going back to the city means waiting for the jeep by the highway which take as long as 30 minutes Now to the things I like: — beautiful greenery and lush forest — well-maintained pools — clean and hygienic area — polite and attentive staff — affordable price for a real hot spring (not just warm water like in Los Baños) — visitors have mentioned water becomes dark from silt at the bottom being disturbed. Not the case now as when I visited, the floor pools are all cemented — highly recommend! You can soak in the pools and feel relaxed even if it’s noon. Just find the one with tree shade. Suggestions to improve: — I noticed the resort is beside a cliff so abseiling and rock climbing can be added as sports; I have a sports certificate for both and I know a nice, challenging cliff when I see one! — For management: for tourists who don’t bring slippers, please connect the main walkway to the shower/ changing rooms. Walking thru the pebbles is painful
