Concierge.com's insider take:
This 114-room resort next to Volcán Arenal has natural hot springs of steaming water that are channeled into numerous private pools, tailor-made for romantic moments. There are also waterfalls where you can get an all-natural massage; if that's too exposed, there's an on-site Grand Spa where you can arrange an alfresco rubdown hidden among tropical flowers. There's the requisite swim-up bar in the main pool, but El Palenque, in a secluded corner of the lush gardens, is a less crowded watering hole and all the better for it. The views of Volcán Arenal are spectacular, especially since the volcano blows its top nightly. Tabacón is for those seeking some serious R&R rather than an eco-lodge, and it is a good alternative to the area's beach resorts for those who enjoy swimming. The rooms are luxurious, with some of the dark-wood furnishings made by local craftspeople. For the best views of the volcano, ask for a superior room.
