Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa
You might want to stay here for the fab hot springs, even if the rooms were dark, dank and dingy—but they’re not. Far from it. Guestrooms are large and well-maintained, with heavy, dark-stained wood furnishings and at least one wall of windows or sliding glass doors. Some have volcano views. Management has a deep commitment to sustainable development and environmental conservation. Plus, staying at the resort—which sits on 353 hectares of prime rainforest, only 7 hectares of which have been built on—gets you unlimited access to the impressive Tabacón hot-spring complex, as well as slightly extended hours and access to a private, hotel-guests-only section of the hot springs dubbed Shangri-La. If you take into account the hefty entrance fee to the springs, this place is practically a bargain.
