The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Relaxing Spa Retreat

I recently had a hot stone and cocoa exfoliation treatment at the Tabacon Spa, and it was the most relaxing experience I've ever had. The treatment room is surrounded by lush greenery, with the sounds of a flowing creek nearby. My therapist was incredibly friendly and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the session. I left feeling rejuvenated and stress-free!

Really good Dining Experience

The dining options at Tabacon are fantastic! I participated in the private dining experience called the Ephemeral Table, which featured a six-course meal that was the best I've ever had. The wine pairings were perfect, and I learned so much about the local cuisine and the connection between the food and its origins. The breakfast buffet on other days was equally impressive, with options like an omelet station, fresh fruits, and local dishes that made my mornings good.
