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!

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.

Tabacón is a fantastic spa experience with natural hot spring pool of various temperature and sizes. It is truly one of a kind and we hope to return there soon. It is a “must visit” stop for those visiting Costa Rica.

AMAZING, TRANQUIL, PEACEFUL

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.
