Beautiful hotel, hot springs were beautiful. I would call them warm springs. Staff was the fastest to respond to our needs that i have ever seen.
Dr. Sherry
We stayed at Tabacón for one night, and it was the perfect way to experience the property. The thermal hot springs are absolutely beautiful and feel very natural, with multiple pools and waterfalls surrounded by lush rainforest. It was peaceful, relaxing, and unlike any other hot springs we’ve visited. The grounds are immaculate, and the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. My only wish is that we had stayed longer to fully enjoy everything the resort has to offer. If you’re visiting the Arenal area and want a luxury experience immersed in nature, Tabacón is well worth it.
ana
Great service, love the hotel
Doron
The hot springs are amazing. Staying in this hotel gives you the best proximity. High class service. Very nice rooms. Elaborate breakfast. Many more on site great amenities.

Bruna
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

Instalaciones hermosas y un personal super amable!👍
Jiang
Hot springs cross the street, it’s not walkable, but shuttle convenient. ShangriLa pretty cool.
Tameassa
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.
Kylie
Tabacon & the surrounding areas are the most beautiful places I’ve ever been! Can’t wait to be back
Alyson
We celebrated our 7 year wedding anniversary here and loved it!
Danielle
Beautiful property. The staff were friendly and helpful. The Tabacon hot springs access was incredible as well. I would highly recommend this property. Worth every penny.
Peyman
The service and rooms were 5 star and we really enjoyed every aspect of our stay. We stayed in their suite with our two adult children and everything was amazing. Bedding was also top notch as my wife is very picky with beddings and she was very happy with the quality of the mattress and beddings. I give this resort a 5 star
JamesAvery
Wow, what an incredible team they welcomed us with open arms super happy to receive us. A lot of people were coming at the same time they handled the crowd almost perfect nobody’s perfect and every single person came in contact. Spoke with both Spanish and English amazing team.

Terri

Pierre-Olivier
Excellent service, but not quite impressive for the premium price. Also doesn’t include breakfast. At least it gives you the thermal spa entrance.
Rickey
No power at electrical outlets in vanity room, no hot water in the morning in shower stall and vanity sinks, no coffee available in the Lobby. Recommend Springs Resort & Spa as their facility has outstanding facilities & services.

Excellent hotel with excellent service. Except, the water in the shower is cold and the water pressure is weak. If this bothers you because they have no solution to the problem, go to another hotel.

My wife and I had an amazing time at Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa during our stay from September 30th to October 2nd. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how beautifully the resort blends into its lush natural surroundings. The thermal springs were absolutely stunning, crystal clear, surrounded by vibrant greenery, and perfectly maintained. Relaxing in the warm pools while listening to the sounds of nature was truly unforgettable.
The stepped waterfalls and tropical landscaping made it feel like a private paradise. Everything was so serene, and we loved exploring the different pools, each with its own temperature and atmosphere.
Our room was elegant, modern, and very comfortable. The wooden furnishings and nature-inspired decor created a warm, relaxing environment that fit perfectly with the resort’s natural beauty. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we appreciated the attention to detail in both design and cleanliness.
The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Overall, our experience at Tabacón was beyond our expectations, a perfect blend of luxury, relaxation, and nature. We would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the Arenal area and hope to return again someday!

from the moment that we arrived at the resort, it was beautiful. Everything was perfect. We did go in high rain season and to be honest the rains didn't even affect us beautiful comfortable room. We traveled with our 11-year-old daughter and had so much fun she wanted to keep the robe that they left in the room. That's how much she loved it. you will not be disappointed in this location or resort.
Siu-lung
One of the best, if not the best, hotsprings and spa service resort, period. Forever this will be Americans next best place for relax and vacations.
Amanda
Save your money. I stayed several places in La Fortuna and this one is not worth the money. Room isn't as described, staff was not helpful and actually act as though you're a bother, food just OK, etc. Seriously, this is the worse place I stayed in La Fortuna.

We went to celebrate my wife's birthday, and the Tabacón Team took it from there.
After a long journey in, we arrived at an enthusiastic Bell Staff that quickly had us unloaded and onto a golf cart to whisk us away to our room. The entire welcoming process set a marvelous tone for the next few days.
Every interaction with each staff member left us with a memorable impression. The profession of hospitality is not lost here.
The restaurants are well-staffed, and the food is excellent. Breakfast each morning was a treat of Costa Rican and other international flavors. Try it all.
The Spa team was the best we have experienced on any continent. Their technique, rapport, and amenities are not to be missed. We treated ourselves to the couples massage that was followed by our own personal hot tub.
The property is immaculate and well-maintained. You are the very edge of the forest, where you can witness all manner of flora and fauna.
We were so impressed that we will be bringing all 12 of us next time.
Thank you.

The gold standard for what hotels should be. Our stay at Tabacon was flawless. The staff is very friendly. The facilities are excellent. Our room was nice and spacious with a great view. And last but not least, the thermal pools, absolutely amazing. My wife and I cannot stop telling our friends and family how amazing Tabacon is and we recommend it to everyone.

For my birthday this year, my husband and I traveled to Tabacon Thermal Resort, and it truly exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in the tranquil beauty of the rainforest, a perfect setting for a peaceful celebration.
Our jungle view room was nothing short of amazing. Waking up to the serene sounds and lush green scenery right outside our window was a dream. The room itself was a peaceful sanctuary, providing the perfect retreat after a day of exploring. It was a space where we could relax and truly disconnect, feeling completely at one with nature.
The hot springs were, without a doubt, the highlight of our trip. They were not only awesome but also incredibly well-maintained. The different pools and cascades, each with its own unique temperature and feel, allowed us to find the perfect spot to unwind. We spent hours moving from one thermal river to another, feeling all our stress melt away. The lush, tropical landscaping around the springs added to the magical atmosphere, making it feel like a private paradise.
Celebrating my birthday at Tabacon was an unforgettable experience. It was more than just a trip; it was a perfect blend of natural beauty, peace, and pure relaxation. I couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate.

Great service and helpful staff. The tour company they partner with are however not great. I would book tours elsewhere.
Food, drinks, service, spa and the thermals were absolutely spectacular and would highly recommend.

Perfect one night stay. I can’t see enough.
Amazing amazing amazing! The people and the grounds! Nice smelling rooms . Nice beds, furniture. The best and top class thermal Hot Springs. The way the springs were laid out across the grounds. Having the transportation included to get to the Springs. All the workers were so nice and friendly! If I were rich, I will keep coming back every month. Thanks to hotel.com.I was able to get a good price even though still pricey but also worth it!

Excellent from arrival to departure. Staff was friendly and helpful, available but not overbearing. The thermal spas had excellent ambiance with a wide range of temperatures and shelters. Spa was excellent - came out refreshed and rejuvenated. Overall - excellent location, close to many activities and adventures.

I recently stayed at Tabacón and the experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The staff here is truly outstanding every single person I encountered was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make me feel at home. What really stood out to me was how they all remembered my name, which added such a personal touch. Special thanks to Keylor and Oscar, who went out of their way to make the stay extra memorable.
The resort itself is breathtaking. The natural hot springs are unlike anything I’ve ever experienced, with several pools to choose from each offering a different vibe, from peaceful and relaxing to more lively and social. The grounds are lush and beautifully maintained, and the location couldn’t be more perfect, tucked right in the rainforest with incredible views of Arenal Volcano.
My room was spacious, spotless, and beautifully designed, with all the details perfectly on point. The little touches made a big difference, and the comfort level was topnotch. I also loved that they offer complimentary valet service, which makes everything effortless.
Overall, this place is pure paradise. It combines luxury, nature, and genuine hospitality in a way that very few resorts manage to do. I would recommend Tabacón to anyone visiting Costa Rica it’s the kind of experience you’ll never forget.

Hot springs and Shangri La for hotel guests only was GREAT. Shuttle running from hotel lobby to the hot springs was super convenient. The nice comfy Spa robes were a BIG Hit as well. Being able to wear them the more casual restaurant at the Hot Springs was nice and convenient.
