We stayed at Tabacón to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and it was truly an unforgettable experience for our entire family.
From the moment we arrived, everything felt special. We were welcomed with delicious drinks at check-in and escorted to our room, where we found bathrobes prepared for the whole family—including our two-year-old daughter. We thought this was such a thoughtful and caring touch.
The complimentary shuttle service to and from the hot springs was incredibly convenient, allowing us to enjoy the thermal river at our own pace. The hot springs themselves were absolutely amazing and one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica.
The breakfast was outstanding, and every staff member we encountered was kind, professional, and attentive. This was easily one of the most memorable experiences of our vacation, and we highly recommend Tabacón to anyone visiting the Arenal area. We would love to return someday!
