ta-ba-CON I've been to Tabacon Hot Springs twice, both times at night, in 1995 and 1997. The first time was especially magical. I thought it was just going to be still hot water, but it was a river! I was running low on money, but while I was sitting in one of the streams, I felt something in the water that I thought was a leaf, but it was a US $20 bill.
@@ChocoTravelGuide You're making me feel old! Tabacon in your video looks just like I remember it. The facilities haven't changed much. In my 1995 trip, it was four of us, two guys and two girls, all single, all visiting from the Silicon Valley. One of the girls got a massage. Afterword, she said her male masseuse was kind of grabby. I remember this song playing at the swim-up bar, a song from that era. th-cam.com/video/dbckIuT_YDc/w-d-xo.html After we finished at Tabacon--at night--we drove our rental car on a road that lead to an observation spot for the Volcano. We drove as far as we felt comfortable driving on that road in our two-wheel drive vehicle. Then we got out and sat on something and spent about an hour there watching and listening to the volcano, occasionally spraying on DEET to repel the mosquitos. It was magical. That whole day was magical. It was one of those rare days where you feel like two days' worth of stuff happened in one day. We had had breakfast in our hotel in San Jose that morning, rented a car, stopped in Zarcero to have lunch, reached the Fortuna area and got a guided tour down a trail to that waterfall that drains into a small lake, and so on. The next day, we did the Cano Negro boat tour.
I haven't been to royal corin. By looking at the photos from their website, it seems to be much smaller than tabacon. Jan would be a great time to visit Costa Rica. The weather should be pretty good. Have fun!

Wow! I did not know that Tabacon was opened sooo long time ago!

@@TriRabbi You remembered so vividly! It's really a magical place! and i want to go there some time again!
If you don't mind receiving compliments here--Your voice and accent are really pleasant, and you look great in your bikini.
@@TriRabbi Thanks :)
Would you recommend tabacon over the royal corin?? Looking to book in January
I haven't been to royal corin. By looking at the photos from their website, it seems to be much smaller than tabacon.
Jan would be a great time to visit Costa Rica. The weather should be pretty good. Have fun!
and how would you rate against Arenal vs Monteverde, if i only have time to visit either 1 of these location?
I will probably choose Arenal. Both are great nature and hiking places. The hot springs experience is quite unique in Arenal!
I stay at the same resort an I would go back every year if I could
Yes! Me too!
Does the place have mosquitoes?
No :) At least i don't remember that was a problem.
