Hotel Tabacón
Hotel Tabacón is a thermal resort located in a large private rainforest reserve near the Arenal Volcano in La Fortuna. The property features natural hot spring pools fed by geothermal water, comfortable rooms built among tropical vegetation, a spa offering treatments with local ingredients, and restaurants serving Costa Rican and international cuisine.
The resort was established to provide access to the region's natural hot springs, heated by the Arenal Volcano's geothermal energy for centuries. Over time, the property has been carefully restored and expanded to blend modern comfort with the pristine rainforest setting.
The name Tabacón reflects the area's indigenous roots and connection to the land. Visitors experience genuine Costa Rican hospitality through the staff's friendly service and meals prepared with local ingredients that showcase regional flavors.
The resort is located about 20 minutes by car from La Fortuna town and is best reached by private vehicle or hotel shuttle service. Most visitors plan a stay of several days to fully enjoy the hot springs, guided activities, and volcano views.
The resort operates a community program that provides meals to local families facing hardship. This initiative demonstrates how the hotel extends its support beyond tourism to help the region thrive and create employment opportunities for residents.
