My fiance and I recently visited Tabacon in Costa Rica, and it was incredible! The hot springs there are like nature's own spa, tucked away in the Arenal area. Picture relaxing in warm, natural pools surrounded by lush greenery and the sounds of the rainforest – it's a rejuvenating experience that feels like a secret paradise.

A truly incredible place. It’s expensive but you do get a meal included and it’s open from 10am to 10pm. Really cool experience sitting in the spas at night. Feels a touch unsafe in parts as there are loads of rocks in the pools/rivers which you can’t really see at night. A few more lights would be helpful. Bring water shoes as well!

Getting to the front desk and being welcoming by Bryan with a great service proving us a fresh-towel and a drink to start an unforgettable time. The staff at the lockers area is amazing and so kind. Next step, piña colada at the Aguardiente Wet Bar, something not to miss! Jonnathan and Dennis were rocking by giving great options for having lunch, the chicken nachos with the lemon taste are perfect. Get in touch with the thermal river by walking on the side of a lot of pools and feeling the vibration of the Arenal Volcano reflected in the beautiful grounds and natural spaces that Tabacon Resort offers. The beauty of this resort is out of this world. I’ll say if you are thinking to go, you must go and live the life of the best hot-springs of La Fortuna by the hand of the high quality hospitality service

Tabacon Hot Spring’s grounds were breathtakingly beautiful. There was a nice variety of pools and springs that offered seclusion and stunning views. The staff were wonderful and friendly. The food and drinks were delicious. I would note that you should temper your expectations of “hot” when coming to the springs though. I would describe the water as pleasantly warm. Not at all disappointing, just don’t think you’re going to be experiencing hot tub level temperatures. This was my wife’s favorite part of our visit to Costa Rica.

Tabacon Hot Springs offers a lovely setting for enjoying its thermal waters :). We spent a blissful day soaking in its lovely pools and waterfalls, which ranged from cool to warm and also very hot. We really appreciated the beautiful natural setting and peaceful ambiance. This was our favorite hot spring in Costa Rica, and we’d highly recommend it for anyone who’s a thermal bathing aficionado! Enjoy :))

Absolutely amazing experience. The natural hot springs, lush vegetation, and elaborate landscaping made this a highlight of our trip to La Fortuna. The pictures don’t do it justice. The hot springs weren’t quite as warm as some others, but I imagine that’s because that is the natural temperature of the water. The hot pools were about 100 degrees F (38 C). But the other springs aren’t as natural and beautiful as this one. If you have multiple nights in La Fortuna, I recommend going here one night and then to another (less expensive) one that has hotter water on another night so you can get the best of both worlds.

We chose to visit Tabacon out of the many possibilities of hot springs and we are glad that we did! The place is beautiful!! Getting the day pass was great as we did not have to reserve a specific time. We spent about 5 hours there and it was very relaxing. There are many pools and when we were there it never felt crowded. I thought that the price was worth the experience, but the drinks were pricy! About $19 for a drink. But, I guess that is to be expected at a place like this. Overall, I would highly recommend a stop here.

As we were not staying at the Tabacon Resort, my daughter and I first got a day pass to the hot springs and then booked a couple of treatments each at the spa. We got there at 11am. When we checked in, we made a lunch reservation at their restaurant and are so glad we did. The food and drinks were absolutely outstanding. We then changed into our bathing suits in the locker room and from there explored the hot springs, which cascade in small rivers over shallow waterfalls down the hillside through the rainforest. It is impossible to describe how beautiful and restful it was, as there are so many small pools and basins that you can go into, all of which are marked with the temperature of the water. The spa itself is absolutely luxurious. You are treated like royalty by all of the staff. We had our treatments done side-by-side by therapists who were clearly masters, with the sounds of a babbling brook right next to us. After that, we got to rest for 30 minutes in their quiet room and were offered fruit and a drink. We then spent the rest of our time in the hot springs again, and left at around 6pm, thoroughly relaxed and totally happy. It was one of the best spa/hot springs experiences I've ever had. One note: If you are driving from La Fortuna, you'll want to pass by the first sign you see on the right for the Tabacon Resort. Continue down the hill and you will come to a small parking lot on the right. Turn in there and show the attendant your day pass. The Tabacon Hot Springs & Spa is across the street from that lot.

Wow….we had such a beautiful time here with friends. The hot springs and surroundings are out of this world and very natural. Thank you so much to Noylin for the recommendations & help with food choices & showing us around the property she was so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We really hope to return in the near future!! 5 stars!

You are immersed in a lush tropical paradise with a maze of so many pools that you’re mostly in them with alone. Now I think they made a mistake when they stopped the buffet lunch because although The Ave had the most amazing view the food was not good. The bar food is good if not a little expensive if you do get hungry though. There were some nice touches but it kinda felt like they were trying to go more high end than the facilities allow. Despite this we really enjoyed the experience and I would highly recommend spending the day here.
