I stayed in the Hotel Tabacon for five days in early July, and I really enjoyed the experience. I stayed at the hotel because of the open access to the Hot Springs, which that alone is worth the price of the Hotel. The hot springs are in the middle of beautiful lush gardens/ forest, true some of the pools can... more

While in Costa Rica, we stayed at 4 different hotels. All were less expensive than Tabacon. However, Tabacon was the only hotel where we experienced theft. We reported the theft to the front desk, to hotel relations,and the hotel manager. All refused to address the issue (a $50 theft). The hotel manager explained that guests come and go but his... more

We came from a very rustic lodge in Tortuguero and arrived at our Junior Suite at Tabacon with huge smiles. The property itself is extraordinarily well maintained. All of the employees were able to speak English with us, no problems with the language barrier (which was so appreciated since our Spanish is terrible). The room was just gorgeous. Robes, slippers,... more

I stayed at this property with my husband and 3 teenage sons in July. We rented two Superior rooms and found them to be fantastic. Arenal volcano was in full action and our view of the volcano was exceptional. Though the resort is pricey, it's worth the money for a few nights. We enjoyed the hot springs very much and... more

Rooms were average, nothing special. I was a bit bothered that the cleaning lady left the door wide open while she was cleaning. The room would always have a bug or two flying around. Food was also average, a bit overpriced for what it was but that is to be expected since it is a resort. The hot springs were... more

The Tabacon Resort is a beautiful place, but after reading some of the other reviews I'm going to have to say that in most places in Costa Rica, it's a lot better if you speak Spanish. Although most people claim that they can speak English fluently, they don't. They usually don't want to speak Spanish to people that speak Spanish... more

After staying for 2 nights in a more rustic hotel (and not much cheaper...) we were delighted by Tabacon. The whole property even smells good. We had the cheapest priced room, yet it was amazing. We wonder if we were upgraded and didn't know it?? There was even a partial view of the volcano, which we did not expect or... more

All I can say is that I was very disappointed. First, I must mention that we got an upgraded room with a jacuzzi bathtub, however, the tub was more like a mini swimming pool and had we wanted to actually use it, it would have taken 2 hours at least to fill it up for one use. The thing that... more

Tabacon is a great little spot in Costa Rica! My husband and I have been to the country twice now and made sure to have a few days in Tabacon both times. The spa is fabulous, very relaxing treatments in the middle of the rainforest. A perfect day at Tabacon in our opinion is to wake up and have their... more
