10/10 Excellent
"I loved staying here! Staff was very friendly and able to help our tricky situation. The hotel was beautiful, so clean and nice. Pool and outdoor area was a cool hangout spot. Also glad they had a laundry room to use. The breakfast was awesome! Good options! Good restaurants and coffee right next store and a mini mart!"
"What can I say about the Tabacon except OMG! 3 things that stood out were the customer service, the impeccable coordination of the facilities, and of course the exquisite thermal spa. Ton checking in a golf cart takes you from the lobby to your room. Everything is accessible via the electronic bracelets that are provided at check in (this serves as your room key, gym access, (the gym is very clean), and allows you to charge things to the room such as gift shop purchases, meals, poolside service etc.)
The breakfast buffet is available for a fee ; we got lucky to see the toucans each day high above the trees
And the highlight of course was the magnificent thermal springs. It is normal to walk out of your room with your bathing suit on, and with a bathrobe over it (the one provided in the room) and saunter over to the lobby. The shuttle comes by every 5 mins; when you arrive at the springs, simply go to the towel dispensary and also get a locker key. And then off you go - exploring spring after spring. Some are cold (eg the hexagon pool), and others are warm; some have water falls and others are serene. One note is that the pools have different flooring (with some that are paved, and others that are a little rocky and mossy) - so tread cautiously till you figure your way around.
Exclusive to hotel guests is the upper most secluded area called Shangri La comprising several pools and cabana side service. The whole experience is remarkable, unforgettable and restorative."
"All aspects of my stay were absolutely enjoyable.From the reception to the breakfast the bar and the parking without leaving the cleaning crew.Every single one of the staff made sure I had a wonderfull time.I most definitely be back specially because the location its perfect for all my deals in Costa Rica."

8/10 Good
"The service us excellent, amazing staff. Always a pleasant stay and I stay here often. The towels were pretty old and the AC in our room wasn’t working on the most recent stay. But that had never been a problem in the past."
"Great location close to airport but you do get plane and some outside noise. Staff was great, room was good size, clean and functional. Breakfast was ok, not great as hot food variety was limited. But that’s nothing unusual. Overall enjoyed the stay and would recommend for anyone looking for a reasonable functional hotel close to airport."
"This was my 2nd time at this particular resort. It wasn’t as crowded as my first time there about 8 years ago. But the experience and enjoyment was the same. The staff was great, friendly and eager to help."
