We stayed at Tabacón to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and it was truly an unforgettable experience for our entire family. From the moment we arrived, everything felt special. We were welcomed with delicious drinks at check-in and escorted to our room, where we found bathrobes prepared for the whole family—including our two-year-old daughter. We thought this was such a thoughtful and caring touch. The complimentary shuttle service to and from the hot springs was incredibly convenient, allowing us to enjoy the thermal river at our own pace. The hot springs themselves were absolutely amazing and one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica. The breakfast was outstanding, and every staff member we encountered was kind, professional, and attentive. This was easily one of the most memorable experiences of our vacation, and we highly recommend Tabacón to anyone visiting the Arenal area. We would love to return someday!

The thermal was amazing very well maintained. My only complaint was my room had a terrible mold smell . I didn’t complain at first but then I had headaches they sent somebody to fix but then the smell got worse the next day they offered me another room but I was about to leave next morning didn’t make any sense. The price that I paid I did not excepted that to happened

Amazing hotel with great thermal facilities.

nice spa

This resort is magical, second time visiting and I can’t wait to go back.

The property was beautiful, the staff was very helpful and friendly and the hot springs were heaven on earth!

Our experience was as expected from a premier luxury spa resort. Its an amazing resort and experience.

Instalaciones hermosas y un personal super amable!👍

Hot springs cross the street, it’s not walkable, but shuttle convenient. ShangriLa pretty cool.

Our La Fortuna stay included four hotels the springs, nayara, mi amor, and tabacon. Tabacon Resort/room is roughly 4 star. Staff is polite from check in to breakfast, 5 star. The thermal springs are 5 star and phenomenal, best/largest on our trip by far. The access to shangri-la area in the springs, when staying at the hotel, makes it worth it. Also hotel guests are allowed in the hot springs before general public at 8am. Im sure it is a huge bonus during peak season. The food and drinks at the hot springs bar were good. Priced higher than they should be...+tax/service fee/tip...but fresh, well made and suit the atmosphere. Several vegetarian options at shangri-la, all were good. We added breakfast to our stay, there was an extra charge for that through expedia. It was not bad and included an egg station as well as coffee to order, oatmilk. Wish they had a potato morning option instead of plantains both days, local so it makes sense. Shuttle to the hot springs comes to hotel lobby/reception every 5 minutes and very convenient. From our trip there are only two resorts I will certainly revisit, this will be one of them. A must for hot springs, I'm glad we didn't skip it.
