Tabacon Grand Spa Thermal Resort
The 102 guest rooms are equipped with modern amenities and decorated with an understated array of locally handcrafted furniture, so you don’t have to rush off after your day at the spa is finished. Some rooms feature private terraces and jacuzzis if you’d rather continue your advanced relaxation in private. In-room meals are available, too, but if you feel like venturing out, two restaurants offer a variety of local specialties and international dishes.
The “grand” part of the name might refer to the resort, or it might refer to the spa. Either way it’s not inaccurate. Here, the Temezcal — a traditional sweat bath designed to purify and detoxify — is guided by a resident shaman, surrounded by the rainforest and thermal river pools; a serious pampering ritual for the spiritually inclined. If less intense treatments are more your speed, or if you simply desire a massage and a cocktail, Tabacon isn’t one to judge. You’ll find whatever you’re looking for among the 11 open-air bungalows.
How to get there: Tabacon Grand Spa Thermal Resort is located approximately three hours’ drive from San Jose.

Wonderful staff and beautiful location

The amazing natural hot spring pools, the very professional service.

Access to the hot springs was a big plus. We really enjoyed it and glad that we splurged on the stay. It was a "can't miss" recommendation to us that we will pass on to others.

Everything! The staff were very helpful and friendly. They really treated every guest like royalty with cucumber lemonade and hot towels upon arrival. The room was incredible! So large and luxurious. The hot springs were also amazing!
