8/10 Good
"stayed in the sunrise room: really exceptional. It is a wonderful hotel, but overall, falling too much in love as to how fancy it is. Case in point: the Celajes Restaurant. Gorgeous sunset views. Wonderful starter. Then came the 40$ filet. Worst filet I ever had. It was chewy, rather than melting in your mouth as it should. Told the waiter ( more politely), who brought the chef. Rather than receiving an apology, I got a lecture and was made to pay the entire bill. Perhaps I was too polite? Anyways, can‘t fully recommend it at that price. Get of your horse, Hotel Belmar! It is a shame, because all the employees are trying so hard. Ah, also, the sunrise room is truly fantastic. But it creaks and rumbles when the wind is blowing outside. I didn’t mind, but some may find that disconcerting."

"The hotel was absolutely beautiful, and the service was amazing from start to finish. The staff was so polite, friendly, and always willing to help. Everything throughout the resort was very clean, and the setting truly felt like you were staying in the middle of a rainforest. The hot springs were incredible and made the whole experience even more special. We absolutely loved our stay at Tabacón and would definitely recommend it!"

10/10 Excellent
"Magnificent views from the level seven rooms and above. There is a lot of vegetation, and therefore a lot of birds, butterflies, etc. We were thrilled with all the hummingbirds we were able to see right outside our balcony. We tried the main restaurant and it was delicious. The grounds are beautiful and well while the rooms had a wonderful size and lovely beds."
