Tabacón is absolutely stunning — the facilities are on another level. The natural hot springs set within lush tropical gardens feel magical, with every pool and pathway beautifully designed and perfectly maintained. It’s one of the most breathtaking wellness experiences I’ve ever had. The staff deserve special mention as well. Everyone I interacted with was warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making the experience memorable. From the welcome drink to the thoughtful service throughout the day, I felt incredibly well taken care of. If you’re visiting the Arenal area, Tabacón is an absolute must. A perfect blend of nature, relaxation, and outstanding hospitality.

This review is for a day pass at the “hot” springs part of Tabacon. Note that the thermal springs at Tabacón are warm-ish, but NOT hot. Most hot springs resorts have pools with a variety of temperature from 95-120. At this one, they only have two temperatures: two pools marked 76 degrees and all the rest marked 96-100. This basically is similar to warm bath water. There are NO pools as warm as a typical hot tub. My husband and I sat if the hottest of the pools for 90 minutes and didn’t sweat or need to cool off. Setting is beautiful, but I thought $100 per person was over priced for the lack of hot pools. I wouldn’t return. Also, if there are views of the volcano, those views are not available with a day pass, as some areas are reserved for only hotel guests.

Absolutely stunning resort surrounded by lush rainforest and views of Arenal Volcano. The service is exceptional, every staff member makes you feel truly cared for. The natural hot springs and facilities are a must-do in the region even if you do not stay for the night. It is pure heaven on earth, so peaceful, luxurious and unforgettable. We will definitely come back soon!! We also must highlight the outstanding service from the activities partner at the resort. They helped us book and coordinate excursions with Jacamar Naturalist Tours who provided expert guides, premium managed logistics, and truly enhanced our adventure and experience of the region.
