Reviews for Tabacon Thermal Resort & Spa
One night stay with kids
We stayed at the resort which was really nice. Pricy for what the rooms were but if you are only staying a night and can use the hot springs two days it makes sense. We also took kids so wasn't as relaxing for us as it could have been without them. The grounds are beautiful and the hot springs are incredible!

Breathtaking
Heaven on earth! We enjoyed everything: hot springs, food, great service, atmosphere. Definitely a must! Beautiful nature at every turn, very unique experience))

Magical Experience
We loved the visit to our springs and then eating at the restaurant after. Truly the most majestic hot springs I have ever soaked in, I wish I had 2 more days here. Thanks to Randall at dinner for the excellent service.

Wonderful and surreal!
Tabacon met ALL of our expectations and more. We loved the hotel, the hot springs, the staff, the food, and the beauty of the entire surrounding area all just felt surreal. The gym is perfect (though you don’t need it much with all of the hiking and adventures close by). Can’t recommend this place enough. Everyone was so welcoming and accommodating in every way.

Relaxing, luxurious stay!!
Tabacon is a truly special place. One of the most beautiful properties we have ever stayed at. The drive is 2 hours from Liberia but the reward is well worth it. The Hot Springs are spectacular, and the hotel and grounds are equally magnificent. All of this in the shadow of a towering, perfectly symmetrical Volcano. Wish we could have stayed longer.
