13 km oeste del centro de La Fortuna de San Carlos, Alajuela, Costa Rica., 21007 Fortuna, Costa Rica – Excellent location – show map

We had such a wonderful three days at Tabacon for our honeymoon. We visited the hot springs on a day-trip during our first trip to Costa Rica and could not wait to return. It was so nice to stay at the resort. We felt like the resort took COVID protocols seriously. The rooms were very modern and clean and the service was amazing. They even left us a variety of special treats - chocolate-covered strawberries for our honeymoon, and delicious macarons to celebrate Thanksgiving. We felt very spoiled! We spent most of our time enjoying the hot springs and hiking nearby.

The staff was amazing, the rooms were clean and the amenities were excellent. The hot springs were an absolute dream!! I literally spent a whole day there

Ben

United States of America

The staff here was absolutely amazing. Some of, if not the, best hospitality I've ever experienced.

Doug

United States of America

The hotsprings were amazing. They are not on the same site as the hotel, but they offer a short shuttle ride to them whenever you wish to go. The hotsprings really exceeded my expectations.

Andrew

United States of America

First time in Costa Rica and we stayed at the beach for five days and came to Tabacon for the last 3. It’s a beautiful setting and it’s very clean and the food is amazing. I would highly recommend staying here if and when you get the chance! Access to the hot springs is perfect and they do offer special hotel hours for more privacy if you want it but we found it not crowded at all. I do think COVID has affected the region and capacity limitations and people not comfortable with travel.

Large and spacious room! Large bathroom with jacuzzi bath tub, separate shower and two sinks.

Victoria

It was the perfect destination for a holiday. The service was impeccable and flawless. Quality of accommodation was luxurious. The hot spring is the cleanest and the most beautiful I’ve been. We enjoyed our time at Tabacon so much that we decided to extend our stay in Costa Rica.
