The location was relatively close to the port. In fact, my wife and I walked the 1.2 miles to the hotel from the port, even with our luggage. We liked staying here because the hot springs themselves were amazing and by staying at the hotel, our park entrance was free. That saved a lot of money. Only thing is that if you check in between 5pm-7pm, you are in for a bad surprise. The springs close at 7pm and require you to wear a swim cap, which is not provided to you. You have to buy one in their boutique, which closes at 5pm... Also, watch out for the mosquitoes, there are A LOT of them and they are stealthy.
