Great spa facilities!
This is a wonderful facility with thermal pools and very nice restaurants. It is convenient to many other activities. We hope to return to this relaxing hotel with spacious rooms one day soon.

Best hospitality ever!
Best hospitality ever! 🌟This was our first time visiting Costa Rica and our very first visit to Tabacón, and what an unforgettable experience! My husband dropped his glasses in the pool near the waterfall, and we were so worried. Two amazing staff members stepped in to help, and one of them shattered all expectations—he literally put on swimming goggles, dove into the water, and fished them out! They completely saved our day. Because of this wonderful experience, we will definitely stay at Tabacón Resort on our next trip to Costa Rica. Beautiful place, but the staff’s kindness is what makes it a 10/10!

Nice hotel, maybe a bit overpriced, wonderful hot springs
The rooms are very nice and there is an awesome buffet breakfast. The hotel does seem a bit overpriced for what is included. Mainly the reason to stay here is free access into the hotsprings which are truly beautiful. The hotel is far from town, and is not convenient to go there for meals / shopping. On the upside, most excursions will pick you up from this location. The staff is very kind and it is a very nice hotel.
