Although the resort is well kept and the hot springs are a natural beauty, staying at this hotel was a terrible experience because of the theft we experienced from our room. Many items were stolen between the time we left the room in the afternoon to go to the hot springs and when we came back to change for dinner.... More

This resort must have 6 service people for every guest. It is the best service I have experienced. Special thanx to my new friend - Javier; who made sure everything was perfect. I am perplexed at some of the comments. This resort is top-notch in every respect. The main restaurant would be packed if it were in New York City... More

We stayed here for two nights in February. The hot springs gardens and spa are a truly amazing place. Nothing like it that I've ever been to. We had a blast spending two full days here. What we didn't understand before we came is that the hotel and hot springs are separated by about a 1/4 mile walk and across... More

Been very happy here. 1. Floor rooms might give a better view. Hotel has fair room prices however food and beverages are highly priced. Good atmosphere. Service and kindness of the staff mostly great. Hot springs are in 5 min reach or shuttle provided. Hotel pool is big and has the same thermal water as the springs. Pool area is... More

The only thing this place has going for it is the hot springs and spa. The rooms are dated, food is terrible at both restaurants, service is ok. I feel like I've been nickled and dimed the whole time here. And I'm a New Yorker who's use to paying a premium. But this place is ridiculous. Next time, I'll just... More

The springs are absolutely amazing. Words can't describe how cool they really are. I understand why travel and leisure voted this hotel as in the top 5 hotels in ALL of Central America. The grounds are beautiful and the hot springs are a wonder of nature. The rooms were nicely appointed- very clean and luxurious. The beds were extremely comfortable,... More

In January, 2012, we spent 3 nights in La Fortuna, just one of those nights at this hotel, because it's so expensive. But when you consider that admission to the Thermal Pools costs $60/person, and admission is included in the room rate, the cost wasn't so bad. The good news/bad news is that the thermal pools are a block's walk... More

My wife and I left the kids with family and took a trip to the Tabacon Resort in Arenal Costa Rica. A friend of mine had recommended that we stay there. I could not have been more happy with the choice. My stay at the Tabacon was incredible. The staff couldn't be nicer. Our room was clean and luxurious and... More

Just got back from a 4 night stay to Tabacon with my husband. They are still doing construction there but that did mar our trip nor did we hear much as we were gone during the daytime. We had a great view of the Volcano when it wasn't cloudy. During the day time we had packed activities and were gone... More
