Great family vacation

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 11 Dec 2024
Hot springs are the best. Rooms were great, but humidity was not well controlled indoors. Everything was wet. We needed to ask for additional towels. A needed addition would be complimentary laundry for all our wet belongings. Breakfast was great dinner was a little pricey.
Date of stay: November 2024
Room Tip: Bring extra clothing, everything gets wet

Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're delighted you and your family had a great vacation and enjoyed our hot springs—they truly are a highlight!
We appreciate your feedback regarding the room's humidity. All our rooms are treated with ozone in such a way that this prevents the humidity of the area from affecting the interior of the rooms. Our reception team and concierge are in the best disposition to help you in any situation that may affect your lodging experience. We’re glad our staff could assist with extra towels, and we’ll take note of your suggestion about complimentary laundry services.
It’s wonderful to know you loved breakfast, and we’ll also review your feedback on dinner pricing to ensure we continue offering a great dining experience.
We hope to welcome you back soon for another unforgettable family getaway. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s anything we can do to make your next visit even better!
Warm regards,
Tabacon Management Team

Tabacon is so worth it! What a wonderful hotel in the most beautiful setting. The food and drinks were all wonderful. We stayed in the Tabacon King Suite and it was huge. Breakfast was included with our package. It was a continental style breakfast in the Tucanes restaurant. The concierge was so helpful. I hope I can go back someday.

Highly recommend day pass with dinner. Loved every minute here. Got in around 11am. Easy parking, after giving name to attendant. Easy check-in. Made early dinner reservation at 530pm (many others got there for dinner around 6 or 7pm). Snacks and drinks (though expensive) at the pool bar kept us refreshed until dinner time. Lobster rice was amazing. Easy to find cabana seemingly anytime between 11am-4pm, before it got busy. Enough room in all hot springs, even when it got busy, you could find spots to relax. Natural feeling. Cold plunge was nice. Beautiful walkways. Couples and families. Highly recommend.

Room tip: Snag a cabana early, and book dinner a little early to miss the crowd.

Very beautiful and cozy hotel, has its own thermal spa with a pool and a bar. Thermal spa with a restaurant and a unique view of the volcano. Nature and animals are unique. The service staff is very professional and friendly. The food in the hotel restaurants is very exquisite and delicious. I recommend the hotel as very wonderful place at Costa Rica

Tabacon was the perfect spot for our couples trip to the Costa Rican interior. The property is beautiful. The service is exemplary and the food and restaurants were great. We spent four nights at the property. I wish we were there longer. From the hotel, we planned several day trips and had shuttles taking us to our different day trips. The shuttle to and from the Hot Springs is very convenient. Our room was spacious and clean and very comfortable. We could see the volcano from our room and the property was lush and beautiful. It’s a pricey resort but worth the spend if you like the finer things in life. The thermal Hot Springs have an area specifically for resort guestsso you have a little more privacy and exclusivity from the springs are open to the public visiting on a day pass I highly recommend it and can’t wait to go back.

Room tip: Pricey but worth the spend if you’re looking for service, quality food, and spacious and high end accommodations.

The resort was amazing, service was outstanding. Adis in the lobby bar was adorable and sweet. I would recommend this resort to everyone. The hot springs are huge and refreshing. The spa was incredible. The treatments we all had were so relaxing and headed to the HotSprings right after the treatments were over.

Room tip: Avoid the rain. Ha ha. It’s not called the “dry forest”. Expect rain every day and plan for it. The resort has umbrellas everywhere.
