Impeccable 5-start resort and extraordinary hot springs
Tabacon lives up to its 5-star status. The resort grounds are immaculate, the rooms clean and contemporary, the daily breakfasts scrumptious, and the endless number of hot spring pools are just extraordinary. You absolutely pay for these privileges and it was worth the price of admission. Be advised: the actual hot springs is NOT within the gated compound of the hotel, most likely because non-hotel guests can pay to visit the hot springs during the day. The hot springs is accessible via vans that constantly run between the hot springs and the hotel lobby. Alternatively, you can walk there via a trellis covered path (see picture)

Outstanding service
The service was outstanding. Lupita at the main bar was great. Oscar at the valet desk was was stand out. The property was amazing and the rooms were fantastic. The food was terrible, but if you stick with bar snacks it’s fine.
