Reviews for Tabacon Thermal Resort & Spa
Thermal bliss and amazing private meal!
My son (26 y/o) and I loved our day in the thermal baths and having a private dinner prepared by Mario and Rodrigo. The baths are fantastic and beautiful. The attending staff is responsive and gracious. The dinner was in a thatched hut with a table for two facing the cooking area. 7 or 8 courses, I think! And the sommelier chose excellent accompaniments for each of us. My son said he had never had such a meal, and I would absolutely do it again. A top high-point of our trip to CR!

Relaxation, Beauty, and World-Class Service at Tabacón
Our stay at Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa was absolutely unforgettable. The restaurant food was amazing, and the service was impeccable—special thanks to Christian and Rosie, who were our servers and went above and beyond with their attentiveness and kindness. We also enjoyed a couples massage at the spa, and it was an incredible experience. My therapist, Shirley, was wonderful. The spa itself is stunning, with outdoor treatment areas surrounded by the rainforest, which made the entire experience feel peaceful and connected to nature. Of course, the thermal springs are the highlight—absolutely beautiful and relaxing, with the lush rainforest all around us creating a truly magical setting. Every staff member we encountered was accommodating and genuinely kind, making sure no request felt too big. I would wholeheartedly recommend Tabacón to any couple looking for a romantic, serene rainforest escape filled with natural beauty, excellent service, and warm, welcoming people.

Overall lovely stay
Lovely place! Only disappointment was the way my husband and I were initially treated by one of the staff at breakfast. He was rude and unfriendly until he realized we were with Spanish speaking friends. The room and accommodations were very nice and lived the thermals.
