The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Magical Relaxation

The hot springs at Tabacon were truly a highlight of our stay. I loved exploring the beautiful gardens and secluded pools where we could find ample privacy to unwind. The vibrant greenery around the springs created a serene ambiance that made every visit feel magical. The peaceful Shangri-La gardens offer a perfect respite, with plush loungers where we relaxed while enjoying refreshing drinks delivered right to us.

Culinary Delights

The dining experience at Tabacon exceeded my expectations. We indulged in a dining adventure at the upscale restaurant, enjoying a wonderful meal that was beautifully presented. The highlight was the innovative dish served with a heated lava rock for cooking right at the table-such a fun idea! The breakfast buffet provided a good array of options that kept us satisfied every morning, including a fantastic omelette station.
