In a very well hidden tiny bucket at the bottom of your bucket list hides Tabacon, Costa Rica. It would be hard to imagine a more wonderful experience. Of the dozens of Ticos we met in this region I’d like to give mention to Carlos, Kellor, and Francisco at our breakfasts. Truly outstanding new friends. I’ll miss them. The property and grounds are beyond words.

Incredible stay with top notch service from staff and great amenities. Each staff member greets you with a smile and friendly face each and every day. Tabacon has an incredible staff and facility to offer to all of its guests. Food and drink at the resort (Tucanes/Ave) is the best in the area, giving no reason to leave the resort for such. The thermal springs are incredible. The spa services are great. The facility grounds are pristine and well maintained. During a stay you'll have the ability to see plenty of wildlife ranging from exotic birds, sleeping sloths, and lizards that run across water. The staff goes out of their way to learn your name creating lasting memories and reasons to come back and visit. Keilor, Oscar, Emerson, Bryan, Stewart, Rodriguez and Priscilla - these are our best elements who made our trip extra memorable. A special shout out and thank you to you!!! Thank you Tabacon for such an amazing time! We will be back! 6/5 stars.

You have ruined the rest of our Costa Rica trip. No one we be able to live up to the attention to detail your resort provided. Shame on you for going above and beyond. Who does that nowadays?

Tabacon is a beautiful, tranquil resort with anything you need for a relaxing or exciting getaway. The hot springs are stunning, the staff was friendly and accommodating. We only ate breakfast at the resort and it was delicious. Oscar was our waiter most days and he was exceptional; friendly and informative, always a fresh pastry basket on hand. Come, stay and enjoy, you won't regret it!
