The gold standard for what hotels should be. Our stay at Tabacon was flawless. The staff is very friendly. The facilities are excellent. Our room was nice and spacious with a great view. And last but not least, the thermal pools, absolutely amazing. My wife and I cannot stop telling our friends and family how amazing Tabacon is and we recommend it to everyone.

Excellent from arrival to departure. Staff was friendly and helpful, available but not overbearing. The thermal spas had excellent ambiance with a wide range of temperatures and shelters. Spa was excellent - came out refreshed and rejuvenated. Overall - excellent location, close to many activities and adventures.

Tabacon es de los mejores lugares que he visitado sin dudas. Pero más que las instalaciones con vistas directas al Volcán, más que las pocetas de aguas termales, debo decir que el personal del hotel está a otro nivel. La atención fue maravillosa. Son atentos, profesionales y educados. Todos fueron increíbles, pero quisiera mencionar, especialmente a Cristian en el Restaurant Los Tucanes y Stuart en el Lobby Bar. Definitivamente volveremos.
