This National Park Has 2 Volcanos, Hot Springs, and Scenic Hiking Trails — and Now Is the Best Season to Visit

"These hot springs are bisected by a thermal river that’s heated by the nearby active volcano, offering a natural, river-fed hot-water experience shaped directly by volcanic activity." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50.

Our experience at Tabacon was amazing. We came here for the first time in 2006 and it’s even better now. The hot springs are beautiful and relaxing, the food in the restaurant and wet bar was delicious, the staff were friendly and helpful. We got a day pass and booked a massage ahead of time. If you don’t book ahead of time you’ll unlikely get a spot the day of. The locker rooms were basic though, and make sure to bring a plastic bag for wet items as they don’t provide those. Overall, an incredible experience.

This was a seminal life experience. The resort has curated an exceptionally thoughtful, beautiful and finely wrought encounter with an element of nature unlike any other. Our dining experience was just as exceptional as the waters, and the service was attentive to dietary restrictions and any other stated preferences. The food was delicious with excellent variety of options flawlessly prepared. I simply cannot recommend Tabacon in terms strong enough. It is a moment in time I will always cherish.

Amazing place to be. We have spent the full day there and it was such a relaxing day! The place is designed really well, very green, so you don’t fill like it is crowded. We also got a lunch at the bar + some drinks. Food was good (hamburger and pad thai), served quite fast.

This was one of favorite things about Costa Rica. I thought it would be more crowded but we almost always had an area/pool all to ourselves. The resort is very clean and beautifully maintained. The restaurant was wonderful and everyone was very nice. We can’t wait to come back again.

A group of friends and I were celebrating a birthday in Costa Rica. The itinary was planned by said birthday girl. This was what she wanted to do for her birthday. While the pools were beautiful and photogenic, there was many disappointments. 1. The food that we ordered was not amazing. A 5 star resort having mediocre food is startling. Ordered a burger that was supposed to be angus beef chuck, it wasn’t. Ceviche was mediocre, and they only had one option of fresh juice (in a tropical paradise) - pineapple. 2. The check in and checkout were quite outdated. Took 5-7min to check in and out of a day at a hot spring. 3. There wasn’t a pool that was really hot. Was hoping for a hot pot or the like, but the warmest was around 90 degrees. To summarize, this place is not worth the price and amenities. $80 is just way too much to be spending on a mediocre experience. Won’t be back.

Excellent service, very good rooms, and outstanding restaurant for dinner. The tours are well crafted, the hot springs are quite therapeutic with a natural feel. Will come back.

We absolutely love Tabacon Hot Springs. The hot springs water is fantastic! The poolside food service is excellent. Steam coming off of the water when it rains looks beautiful. There are plenty of private pools to enjoy as well as a swim up bar.
