Peñas Blancas Hotel Guide - Hotels with Spa in Peñas Blancas, Alajuela Province

"Luxurious five star property that checked all the boxes. Amazing and highly attentive staff, exceptionally well maintained property, with countless pools and natural hot springs, and its own activity center on the Arenal River that runs through the property. Our room was spacious, with a large bathroom with spa tub, and large balcony with ideal view of the volcano. The property was tucked into a forrest 15 minutes from town. Being on site is an experience in itself. The only downside was the pull of being on site can limit interest in taking more advantage of the surrounding area. The dining options were good, not great, but the bar bites by the pool and river were all satisfying. All in all, one of the finest properties we have ever stayed at. Looking forward to a return visit. "

"Loved that the hotel is surrounded by a rainforest setting. We got to hear frogs, birds and crickets and love the peacefulness of nature. Breakfast was great with ala carte omelette bar. Room was clean and comfy. There was even an umbrella in the room for guest. I would recommend this hotel."

"Great staff, great amenities, great experience!"

"Absolutely wonderful. I would say it’s a good intro to what Costa Rica can offer. Cultivated but in a positive way. "

"Tabacón is an incredible resort! The springs is much larger than you would expect, with many beautiful parts to find privacy and relaxation. The drinks are incredible and views are even better. We indulged in a couples volcanic mud massage- and it was the best massage ever! The spa is beautiful, peaceful and worth it! One thing to consider is that it is a 20minute ride to town, so you are pretty much committed to eating at the resort- which is not cheap. Each drink is $15 and meals are $20 . The breakfast options are a buffet at $35 a person or room service- which is about $20 . (Summer 2024) The food was amazing, but we were definitely expecting some cheaper options before we arrived. "

"I absolutely loved this property. Food options were fresh and accommodating if needed. The town was 20 min away if wanted to do excursions or visit little mom and pop stores! Absolutely beautiful. The staff was wonderful! Very polite! Be aware if you don’t like bugs - this is not the place for you haha. Absolutely beautiful grounds! The hot springs pools are warm &. Healing. At least that’s how I felt every time I sat in them. I would highly recommend anyone celebrating a honey moon or just want to get away with friends for a chill vibe ❤️"
