We could only stay one night, but it was well worth the 3 hrs driving to get there. We really enjoyed an evening in the hot springs (free with hotel stay) and again in the morning til noon--that's the draw here and it was outstanding, but the rooms and hotel were gorgeous in every way too. The breakfast buffet was... More

This is a high end resort, with high end prices, but worth the splurge. Everything is first rate, accommodations are great, but the bed is too high if you are short like me and have a bad knee. More

The construction that was taking place sometimes could be heard from our room in the early AM. Not a deal breaker. Worth having the springs available to us the entire stay. I didn't visit any other hotel that would come close to the benefits of staying at Tabacon. It is a ways into town but you have so much to... More

The hotel and resort are beautiful however, the customer service is lacking. You feel like you are just one of the masses here. I can't complain about anything as the rooms are beautiful and the springs are gorgeous and the service is good. The thing is that for this type of resort and the class of hotel, I would have...

Stayed 3 nights here and then 3 nights at Rancho Pacifico. Two totally different luxury resorts but different vibes. At Tabacon the service, food and rooms were outstanding. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding to die for. The rooms were big and had all the ammenities would would expect as a Leading Hotel status. The actual hot springs... More

Although the resort is well kept and the hot springs are a natural beauty, staying at this hotel was a terrible experience because of the theft we experienced from our room. Many items were stolen between the time we left the room in the afternoon to go to the hot springs and when we came back to change for dinner.... More

This resort must have 6 service people for every guest. It is the best service I have experienced. Special thanx to my new friend - Javier; who made sure everything was perfect. I am perplexed at some of the comments. This resort is top-notch in every respect. The main restaurant would be packed if it were in New York City... More

We stayed here for two nights in February. The hot springs gardens and spa are a truly amazing place. Nothing like it that I've ever been to. We had a blast spending two full days here. What we didn't understand before we came is that the hotel and hot springs are separated by about a 1/4 mile walk and across... More
