TABACON THERMAL RESORT & SPA

Opened as a hotel in 1997, Tabacon is one of the Arenal area's first resorts and today is arguably the best and most famous hot springs complex (heated by the nearby volcano) in the country. There is no faulting the service, the extensive and beautiful hot river springs, or stunning, landscaped tropical grounds. The open-air reception area and main lobby are located just past the well-guarded gate, planted in a breezy hall with sit-down check-in and a plush adjoining lounge. The elegant lobby is constructed of dark wood, with a stunning cane ceiling, terra-cotta tiled floors, understated contemporary furniture, and modern art works.

The primary feature of Tabacon Thermal Resort is its thermal springs and extensive garden area, featuring a natural hot river that has been re-directed and dammed up, creating dozens of private bathing pools and low waterfalls. Stone walkways and wood bridges connect the maze of rivers, pools, and waterfalls. Guests get unlimited free access to the thermal springs and special discounts at the Grand Spa, which is also one of the best in the area. There are 11 open-air palm-roofed bungalows, all with whirlpools, a three-unit Temazcal (sweat bath) Center, and an open-air teak platform for yoga classes. An adults-only swimming pool area, featuring several thermal mineral springs, is a welcome place for relaxation. An especially delightful treatment is the hot-stone massage that combines warmed volcanic stones with eucalyptus, lemon, and rosemary oils.

Tabacon offers memorable dining experiences in an open air, full-service ambience surrounded by the untouched tropical rainforest of the Arenal Volcano Region. Its chefs and culinary team masterfully blend local flavors, traditional recipes, and international cuisine to create innovative plates that evoke local traditions and utilize regional ingredients.
