The hot Springs are amazing. The staff is friendly and helpful. The only thing is that there are no regular tempature pools. It’s hard to be in a hot pool for a long time. Beautiful property. Well worth it

Stunningly beautiful resort with lush manicured tropical landscape framing the calming hot springs. Wonderful breakfast. Could use more restaurant choices. Loved our stay.

The hotel asked us what occasion it was and we told them our anniversary. They surprised us with a cute banner on our door. They also leave cute notes in the room and gave us a free bottle of sparking juice to celebrate (since we don't drink). The grounds were absolutely stunning and the food is great. They also have Gluten Free options, which isn't that easy to navigate when in another country.

Clean hotel, Staff very accommodating Great amenities

Early summer vacation really enjoyed beautiful arenal.

The grounds at this hotel and the room were beautiful. The hot springs were fantastic. Staff was great

We enjoy staying at this hotel. The hot springs area was beautiful. The staff was helpful. Unfortunately there were not any restaurants within walking distance. Other than that everything was great.

Tabacon was my most favorite hotel I ever stayed at, and I travel a lot! The rooms were nice and comfortable. The service there was amazing. The staff was so nice and did whatever you asked. The hot springs were amazing and beautiful. There plants and scenery but the hot springs made you feel like you were in the middle of a rain forest.

Great getaway! Amazing staff and superb location. Highly recommend it. Wow

Amazing hot spring, Cecilia is the best Receptionist of Front Desk.. very charming and friendly staff.. will come back soon..

Shangri la area is best. Only for hotel guests adult.

Awesome hotel and grounds the hotel is nice and quiet and the springs are awesome. Randall at the front desk was very helpful and took care of us.

Nice facilities but, very very expensive. The buffet style breakfast cost us (two adults) $58!!! If you have money to throw away, this is the place to stay. If not, there are other cheaper options in the area that are just as nice...

Absolutely amazing, wish I could of stayed longer. The view was priceless. The food was amazing, but pricey.

Tabacon thermal springs is a unique place. There are terraces with cascading water, even waterfalls. You can have water massages and gentle flow of warm water over you. Beautiful gardens, pool with the water slide, tiki bar or secluded tiny pools to choose from.

We finished our Costa Rican excursion in the rain forest and stayed at Tabacon. It came recommended by work colleagues and I'm so happy I took their advice. We spent our days exploring the jungle (hanging bridges, La Paz, Arenal), dining in Fortuna and our evenings in the hot springs. That by itself was such a treat. My kids enjoyed it as much as I did.

Great view of the natural springs and the volcano. For $80, you can get in and use the hot springs plus dinner. Not worth $320 per night with room and hot springs access though. Overall, great experience.

Here's the negative: Unfortunately, the room at the hotel was disappointing and that is the only reason I would not recommend it to a friend. Knowing it is the rainforest some things are understandable. However, when you reserve a room at a hotel that is supposed to be 5 star, you expect the rooms to be clean and bug free (or at least mostly bug free given it is the rainforest). They should invest in the construction and maintenance of the rooms. Rooms are a bit shabby and need a little updating along with weatherstripping and a few additional measures need to be taken given the environment to make sure they are better maintained. Now the positive: Staff very pleasant and helpful. All of the employees that I met were so friendly and made me feel comfortable. Service was prompt. Food was great, but a bit expensive given the venue.
