It is a truly five star resort. Facilities are great. Everything is good. We stayed for one night. Staff are very helpful. Thermal springs is just five minutes walk but hotel shuttle runs all the time so it is quite easy to travel back and forth between.

We liked everything. The room was very big and clean. The hotel was inside the forest and we could see animals (like tucans and nasuas). The stuff were very helpful and nice. The thermal springs were crazy!!! Beautiful, big and fun.

Nothing to not like. It was our little bit of paradise during the covid19 crisis. We were already in Costa Rica before the travel notices were issued.
Beautiful, clean, very friendly people. The hot springs are amazing. Be sure to go up to the top and work your way down. There’s a lot more than the pool at the bottom.

It's a problem to think of anything I didn't like.
Tabacon is a fabulous, 5 star experience -- everything from the hot springs to the restaurant, to the spa, accommodations and service is really beyond fabulous. This was our third visit and we want to return.

The food in the buffet was very average given the price and the main restaurant was nice but still not as delicious as you think you will be paying for.
The thermal spas are amazing and the bed was so comfortable. We also got a lovely honeymoon gift on arrival which was really appreciated.

I would have preferred a location at the hotel to have lunch rather than needing to take the shuttle to the thermal springs. I would have preferred a greater and simpler choice of items for lunch as opposed to an expensive buffet lunch.
A great Location! The staff were very attentive and helpful at all times. I found the service to be exceptional. Breakfast was excellent.
