This was a wonderful place to visit. The grounds were beautiful & the rooms spacious and comfortable. The food in the restaurant was fair, but the surrounds made up for it. They have a great fitness center. More

The location, the room, the hot springs and spa treatments, and the accomodating, friendly staff were all top notch! After 2 days the clouds lifted and surprise, we had a beautiful volcano view from our room! The breakfast buffet was outstanding, especially seeing the coati's waiting to have a snack! We will definitely return. More

Tabacon was a very pleasant stay! They have the best Springs. If you walk up to the top of the Springs the have some private gardens for adults only and you can lay out on a day bed for free. We drove from Manuel Antonio. The navigation is spot on and it took about 5 hours. Very curvy roads. Pros:... More

We could only stay one night, but it was well worth the 3 hrs driving to get there. We really enjoyed an evening in the hot springs (free with hotel stay) and again in the morning til noon--that's the draw here and it was outstanding, but the rooms and hotel were gorgeous in every way too. The breakfast buffet was... More

This is a high end resort, with high end prices, but worth the splurge. Everything is first rate, accommodations are great, but the bed is too high if you are short like me and have a bad knee. More

The construction that was taking place sometimes could be heard from our room in the early AM. Not a deal breaker. Worth having the springs available to us the entire stay. I didn't visit any other hotel that would come close to the benefits of staying at Tabacon. It is a ways into town but you have so much to... More

The hotel and resort are beautiful however, the customer service is lacking. You feel like you are just one of the masses here. I can't complain about anything as the rooms are beautiful and the springs are gorgeous and the service is good. The thing is that for this type of resort and the class of hotel, I would have...

Stayed 3 nights here and then 3 nights at Rancho Pacifico. Two totally different luxury resorts but different vibes. At Tabacon the service, food and rooms were outstanding. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding to die for. The rooms were big and had all the ammenities would would expect as a Leading Hotel status. The actual hot springs... More
