Tabacon was the perfect rain forest lodging for us. Right in the heart of all the tours, and having all access to the thermal springs was the perfect way to end our days, and is a place like no other

My cousin and I had an absolutely incredible stay at Tabacón. From the breathtaking surroundings to the exceptional service, every moment exceeded our expectations. After leaving and continuing our trip in Tamarindo, we couldn’t stop talking about how much we wished we had stayed at Tabacón longer. It was truly the highlight of our Costa Rica vacation. We can’t wait to return one day and will enthusiastically recommend Tabacón to anyone planning a trip to Costa Rica. Thank you for such an unforgettable experience. Pura Vida! 🇨🇷

My husband and I had a fabulous day at Tabacon with dinner at Ave Restaurant! The hot spring pools and facilities were beautiful and clean, and it was just an amazing experience. We loved the lemon grass scented washcloths that were handed to us when we first arrived, as we had been on a morning hike earlier. Shout out to RANDALL, our waiter at Ave Restaurant. We selected dinner as part of our day pass. The food was outstanding and the service exceptional. There was a brief moment when the cloud cover cleared and we could see Arenal volcano. Randall raised the window shades and made sure we were able to get some amazing photos from the dining room. Highly recommend!

Our stay at the Tabacon resort far exceeded our expectations. The service was friendly, attentive and all around top notch. The atmosphere is amazing - the grounds are beautiful and the hot springs area that you have access to as part of your stay is out of this world. Rooms were clean and well appointed.
