“Fantastic Thermal Spa and Resort”

Tabacon was very accommodating as they allowed us to check in early prior to departing on an all day tour and returning in the evening. Typical check in time is 4pm, but they went ahead and checked us in at 8am. Their staff was also very helpful in fixing a few things that went wrong with our room. When we... More

“Beautiful place but not worth the money”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

This place is beautiful but the entrance fee to the hot springs (we stay in another hotel) is not worthy. First of all, if you don't want to get your feet dirty, bring water shoes since the bottom of the natural pools are soil, therefore it feels dirty (personally i don't like this). We got the all day pass and... More

“Beautiful Hotsprings Located Here”

Reviewed 9 May 2013

When researching where to stay in La Fortuna I realized how expensive admission to the Tabacon Garden Hotspring's was. This Hotsprings area was recommended to me so I really wanted to visit for the evening. Since we were travelling in the off season we were able to make a reservation for just 1 night (usually a 2 night min here).... More
