Everything we saw written about this spot is true. It is really beautiful and relaxing. The pools are fantastic, and the landscaping is beautiful. The spa looked magical. Too bad we did not have more time. I would have loved to spend a full day here, to fully enjoy the facilities. Plan to stay more time as the weather at... more

I spent a single night at this luxurious hotel as part of a student group last summer and enjoyed everything about it. As promised you are literally able to see the volcano from your hotel (not from the balcony but rather you see it as you drive up a long hill and you can see it very clearly from the... more

As a guest at the Tabacon Resort, your admission to the hot springs is included. Had it not been included it would have cost $45 per person for the day. There are evening only rates but I don't know what they are. Buffet: We had the International Buffet for lunch at the restaurant at the hot springs. It cost $30... more

Worth every penny!! They had a special for two days for the same price. It was definitely worth it. Even if it rains, it is worth going. Between the hot springs from the volcano and the cool rain, you would want to stay there all day. They have a wonderful lunnch buffet that is included or you could do dinner.... more

Amazing!

I visited Tabacon last summer as part of a Memorable Costa Rica trip. I've never seen anything like it! I stayed at the resort, which was lovely, but the best part was access to the hot and temperate springs. If you book a private spa treatment, you have access to your own private spring. Talk about paradise! And the cost... more

My fiance & I initially had trouble paying the steep fee for admissions into Tabacon, because it was easily twice as much as the other hot springs in the area. We were able to check out 2 other springs in the area to determine whether we wanted to buy a pass, but were disappointed because they just did not look... more

This was my third time at Tabacon, and I've visited other thermal springs in the area, but I really love Tabacon for several reasons. First of all, none compare in beauty to Tabacon. I've had really good luck too with it not being too crowded when I've gone. The key is to walk the trails and look for some secluded... more

We spent a entire day (our 6th wedding anniversary) at Tabacon Hot Spings. We did not stay at the hotel itself, but rather purchased 2 day passes. The passes included unlimited access to the hot springs, lunch, and dinner. While in CR, my husband and I went ziplining, spelunking, rappeling, hiking...Amazingly, my husband's favorite activity/attraction was TABACON! The pools themselves... more

My boyfriend and I enjoyed the Tabacon hot springs - May 2009. We booked a 2 days/1 night trip to Arenal with Costa Rica Nature Escape which included a visit to the hot springs (transporation, entrance fee & dinner). We arrived at 1pm and had several hours for exploring the beautiful paths, pools and rivers, the water was amazing, the... more

Just returned from a 10 adventure tip in Costa Rica. The country is beautiful, the people were friendly and the food was fabulous! Except for Tabacon Thermal Resort. My husband and I were the only people at the swim up bar and there was one bartender.. until he had my credit card, then there were four! I asked to speak... more
