"The hotel was absolutely beautiful, and the service was amazing from start to finish. The staff was so polite, friendly, and always willing to help. Everything throughout the resort was very clean, and the setting truly felt like you were staying in the middle of a rainforest. The hot springs were incredible and made the whole experience even more special. We absolutely loved our stay at Tabacón and would definitely recommend it!"

10/10 Excellent
"My Granddaughter become sick while there. We had booked a tour that you were supposed to cancel 24 hours before. The morning of, we called the hotel to let them know we could not do the tour. The woman at reception said she would contact the tour company and try to get our money refunded. She did get out money back. Then the asked how my daughter was and asked if she could send some chicken soup to our room for her. At no cost to us a huge bowl of soup with rice was delivered to our room. It was delicious. They were very thoughtful and caring by going out of their way to be sure all was good. The next day when we checked out they asked us how our granddaughter was. We felt like they really cared."
