This place is breathtaking the room layout in the rainforest suite was amazing along with all the amenities. I was disappointed to not have a view of the volcano but everything else made up for it. One complaint was everything was super expensive we asked for some water ($4) each thinking you are paying 400-500 a night they would give... More

Just came back from 5 days in the Caribbean part of Costa Rica. We went there thinking the stay a day or two...having been told it's rough and rustic. But it was authentic, warm, relaxed, inexpensive, uncrowded and fun. Today we had a BEAUTIFUL drive to La Fortuna and Tabacon. The hotel is beautiful and our room is lovely. But... More

2 families of 4 each(3 seperate rooms) stayed here together the second week of March. Everything was fabulous. Our rooms were perfect with lovely views of the volcano, all services were top notch. The service to get cabs or trips was outstanding. We never ate in the top restaurant of the hotel, but took cabs to La Fortuna for dinner... More

I had a brief stay at Tabacon this past Sunday and Monday which unfortunately was preceded by one of my bags being stolen while I was in La Fortuna. I lost my passport and many valuable belongings and was not sure I would be able to leave the country as planned today. Maricela Duran - one of Tabacon's guest service... More

We stayed at the Tabacon the last week of April, 2012. The hot springs were beautiful and looked just like the pictures. Note: you take a hotel shuttle to the springs. We ate at the buffet restaurant the first night. The food was OK, but over priced in my opinion. This hotel is a little further out from La Fortuna,... More
