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.

Great resort. Love the hot springs as well as the wildlife. Comfortable beds and great breakfast buffet.

Best resort in La Fortuna

Great stay, super safe, clean and luxurious. The staff are really friendly, the premises are pristine, and the thermal pools were exquisite. I cannot wait to go back.

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.
