Great property and super nice! Staff was incredibly friendly and and amazing experience overall. Only missed 1 start because they don’t have a lot of night life & the pool on the resort ground closes at 6:00pm. It’s nice that the hot springs is open until 10:00pm.

Tabacón is an incredible resort! The springs is much larger than you would expect, with many beautiful parts to find privacy and relaxation. The drinks are incredible and views are even better.
We indulged in a couples volcanic mud massage- and it was the best massage ever! The spa is beautiful, peaceful and worth it!
One thing to consider is that it is a 20minute ride to town, so you are pretty much committed to eating at the resort- which is not cheap. Each drink is $15 and meals are $20 . The breakfast options are a buffet at $35 a person or room service- which is about $20 . (Summer 2024) The food was amazing, but we were definitely expecting some cheaper options before we arrived.

This resort was SO nice. It was exactly what we needed to relax and unwind after an adventurous start to our Costa Rica trip. We spent more time in the hot springs than we expected and deeply unwound in a way that we really needed. It was divine and we cannot wait to return!

Food is priced as in the US but tasted terrible. Staff was friendly but inefficient and made mistakes on orders and requests. Service was extremely slow.

5.0 / 5.0
From beginning to end the quality of service was exceptional! The staff was attentive, and eager to meet our every request. The room was spacious and clean. The property was emaculantly kept. The menu choices were broad and the food was delicious! The hot springs were amazing! Quiet and manicured. They have an area set aside for hotel guests. The location is perfect, a few minutes from la fortuna and most major attractions in the area. The roads all had fresh pavement so access to and from the hotel was not a problem. Signage on the road system is terrible so GPS is recommended.

Hot springs are the highlight.
Restaurant is great for breakfast. Not so much for the dinner. They try to create visually appealing dishes and somewhat succeed, but fall short in flavor. Add to that the cost similar to eating out in New York City and it will make no sense.
There are plenty of restaurants in the town. It's safe to drive at night. Lots of people out. Very lively.

The price has increased tremendously but service quality has declined. They expanded the room but not the restaurant nor amenities.
1.0 / 5.0
Very disappointed with the lack of service from the property manager who refused to credit our resort package when we were unable to enter the country due to missing documentation. On April 19th we arrived to Costa Rica only to be sent right back. We never arrived at the resort, and have documentation form the airport proving we weren’t able to enter the country, but the resort manager decided to keep our money anyways. We lost a vacation and $3200. Very shady way of doing business.
