#TABACON HOT SPRINGS FULL#

It’s breathtaking enough just meandering the labyrinth of pathways snaking the mature landscaping and revealing stunning pool after pool, but come in your swimsuit and robe to take full advantage of what’s on offer here. Here, along the Tabacón River of thermal mineral water, you’ll find more than twenty unique pools surrounded by lush vegetation and highlighted by warm waterfalls for natural hydrotherapy without the sulfur smell of most hot springs. The undisputed star of the property is Tabacón’s resort area, not to be confused with the spring break style resorts of Cancún or Punta Cana.

The property's resort section contains the hot springs, spa and Shangri-La Gardens. At Ave you’ll find a menu of salads, burgers, ceviches, grilled mains and even a dedicated “Tico Corner” of Costa Rican favorites, but consider also booking a culinary lesson here to learn a few simple recipes you can take home with you. At Tucanes, the menu features dishes like Pacific seabass and roasted pumpkin risotto, but the must-taste experience here is the 7-course Costa Rican journey featuring a traditional dish from each of the country’s 7 provinces, each presented with a brief cultural description (pairings available, and dietary needs considered). The property’s 3-pillared approach to sustainability includes culture management, which is heavily supported by its culinary program of highlighting authentic Costa Rican gastronomy with international influences, and offering wellness-forward dining options alongside plates that cater to a variety of dietary needs. Lava Steak at Tucanes is Angus rib eye served raw with a hot volcanic stone for individual cooking.
