Reviews for Tabacon Thermal Resort & Spa
Bird watching adventure.
A very nice resort we used as a base for bird watching. We also loved the hot springs. The staff were very friendly. The high light was seeing multiple sloths including a mom with her baby.

Relaxing
We had a lovely stay at Tabacon. I would recommend it for anyone looking to stay in the area.

Pricy but wonderfull
I give it a 4/5 only because of the price. It is very expensive, but for that you have a big domain with hot springs in different kind of forms. There's a valet service included for your car. You are being welcomed like you are a superstar. Drinks inside are pretty expensive, they charge extra taxes. The staff is friendly but a little bit reserved. But the hot springs are wonderfull ! And it is nog overcrowded. And for that I would still recommend it.

The Best!
Pure luxury. The attention to guest care and comfort is first rate. Every staff member quickly learns your name and cannot do enough to make your stay seamless. We had a small issue with the sink in our rm which was quickly attended to and the next day Rosemary (?) followed up to make sure it was still working. Food was awesome both for breakfast and dinner. And taking advantage of the shuttle and exclusive entry to the hot springs was an incredible experience. We were literally the only ones there for the first hour. Felt like Disney fast pass on steroids! Loved this place!

Must Stay Resort... Highly recommended !
One of the best vacation spots we have ever been to. The resort is top notch with all the facilities. Facing the volcano and in the middle of the rainforest. Amazing services available. Yoga & Massage in secluded shade with spring water flowing next to us.
