We spent two nights at this resort for our Honeymoon. We were thoroughly impressed with the gorgeous hot springs. The winding pathways lead to pool after pool of naturally heated spring water which is perfect for the cool days and nights near Arenal. Unfortunately, the hotel itself seemed like an afterthought and is separated from the springs down the road. While the shuttles to and from the springs were complimentary, it still felt like planning an all day trip to go there. It is a very popular location amongst tourists and was crowded at times. The food was very expensive because you really had no other option but to eat at the springs or at the hotel. It is expensive to get a cab into La Fortuna if you are interested in eating in town. The rooms were nice but not spectacular. The volcano was shrouded in clouds our whole stay so we missed out on another reason why this resort is a great spot. The springs can make up for a lot of little inconveniences, if you like to sit at the pool all day long.

We just got back from Costa Rica a few days ago and my bf and I are still raving about Tabacon. Besides the spectacular hot springs, beautiful gardens and gorgeous rooms, the service is top notch. All staff members we encountered during our 2-night stay were warm, friendly and very accomodating.

We were upgraded to one of the newly renovated suites when we checked-in and I have to say we were blown away. The bathroom was the nicest we've seen in a long time with marble floors, huge jacuzzi, separate toilet room w/bidets, glass shower with various shower heads & jets...incredible. The room was huge. With a dining table, lounge area, desk and large windows facing a lush private garden with a view of the volcano!

There are shuttles at the lobby always waiting to take you to the hotsprings.. which is literally a 45 sec ride down the road. The hotsprings is paradise. You have to experience it yourself to truly understand the magic of this place. The Shangri-la area (adults only) was secluded, quiet and very romantic.

Food at restaurants were decent.

I look forward to visiting again one day. Highly recommended.

We bought a day pass to this resort and it was the highlight of the vacation. The hot springs felt amazing and every spot in the resort was so picturesque. The food was delicious as well. I would go back in a heartbeat. I tell everyone they need to visit this place!

This spa is amazing. I thought it would be artificial and crowded but when I arrived there I was astonished with everything. Several hot springs. All of them very natural and beautiful. Everything is very clean and amazing. The food was so delicious and I really wanna come back there. Best choice of spa in La Fortuna.
