"Our La Fortuna stay included four hotels the springs, nayara, mi amor, and tabacon. Tabacon Resort/room is roughly 4 star. Staff is polite from check in to breakfast, 5 star. The thermal springs are 5 star and phenomenal, best/largest on our trip by far. The access to shangri-la area in the springs, when staying at the hotel, makes it worth it. Also hotel guests are allowed in the hot springs before general public at 8am. Im sure it is a huge bonus during peak season. The food and drinks at the hot springs bar were good. Priced higher than they should be...+tax/service fee/tip...but fresh, well made and suit the atmosphere. Several vegetarian options at shangri-la, all were good. We added breakfast to our stay, there was an extra charge for that through expedia. It was not bad and included an egg station as well as coffee to order, oatmilk. Wish they had a potato morning option instead of plantains both days, local so it makes sense. Shuttle to the hot springs comes to hotel lobby/reception every 5 minutes and very convenient. From our trip there are only two resorts I will certainly revisit, this will be one of them. A must for hot springs, I'm glad we didn't skip it."

"Clean room, helpful staff an excelent breakfast"

"Excellent and helpful staff. Good quality hot water springs "

"Beautiful hotel and a great stay overall! The breakfast was fantastic and we loved the omelette bar. The dinner was also really good, everything was super tasty. The grounds were so beautiful and there is a small walking trail that also was beautiful and like walking through the forest. Location was also so close to so many food spots and things to do. We loved the pools they had available which have jets but wish they were heated. The rooms itself were nice with an amazing balcony but not the best view of the mountain as we’re kind of further away and there are trees in the way but still amazing views, lovely overall. The windows of the room were so clean it looked like you were looking straight out into the view. I wish they had a few updates with the lighting in the room which can make the room look dingy at nighttime. The tvs are small and I wish they had streaming apps but not the biggest deal. One other thing that was hard was wifi, we didn’t have good service as expected and the wifi in the rooms were extremely slow. I asked the staff about it and they said the WiFi works well everywhere but the rooms which didn’t make much sense to me. But it was still fine, I told them I was working remote and if there was somewhere I could work and they actually had a designated office room that was quiet and allowed me to work and take meetings with no problems which was really amazing. The staff were diligent and cleaned the room very well and helped with any requests we had!"

"The room is a bit old but clean. Breakfast is good, though for a longer stay it lacks variety. The staff is amazing, and overall it was a clean and great stay."
