Tabacon Thermal Resort & Spa

icon
  • Tabacon is home to Costa Rica’s largest network of thermal hot springs – perfect for relaxing in after a long day of adventuring!
  • Couples and solo travelers love the adults-only Shangri-La Gardens located at the top of the springs.
  • Nine hundred acres of rainforest reserve surround Tabacon, so you’ll often see and hear wildlife from your balcony!

The Experience

We always recommend that travelers to Costa Rica spend at least a few days in the Arenal region. With a location near the base of the volcano outside of La Fortuna, Tabacon Thermal Resort & Spa is a perfect base to explore the area!

As you may guess from the name, the biggest draw of Tabacon is their thermal spa and hot springs. The resort sits on the largest network of thermal mineral springs in Costa Rica, fed by the Tabacon river and heated by the Arenal volcano. The thermal waters flows into dozens of cascading waterfalls and warm pools, offering plenty of spots to relax and soak away the day! While day use passes are available, all Tabacon Resort guests receive unlimited access to the hot springs.

If you’re looking for a little more privacy during your soak, make sure to visit the Shangri-La Gardens. Located at the top of the hot springs, this area is designated for adults and is only open to guests staying at Tabacon Thermal Resort & Spa. The open-air rainforest lounge is a great place to unwind after a spa treatment, enjoy six adults-only springs, or curl up with a book in a cocoon-shaped cabana. Plus, dedicated butlers are always on hand serving up tropical drinks and light snacks.

The resort’s 103 eco-friendly guest rooms and suites are all well-appointed, most with balconies overlooking the surrounding rainforest. Recent renovations brought in local artwork and furnishings designed by Costa Rican artisans. We love that all hot water in the bathrooms comes straight from the hot springs, so you’ll start your thermal experience in your morning shower!

While the town of La Fortuna offers shops and restaurants nearby, there are also several great options to enjoy at Tabacon. The resort offers two restaurants, Ave and Tucanes, that specialize in Costa Rican and international cuisines – so you can enjoy everything from typical casados to homemade Italian pastas. However, we highly recommend booking their private dining experience called Ephemeral Table. You’ll get to enjoy a custom 6-course menu prepared by a personal chef in a candlelit open-air rainforest bungalow. Talk about romance!

Advisor Tip

For a unique culinary experience, arrange for the resort’s Ephemeral Table Dinner in a private rain-forest bungalow, attended by your personal chef and server.

River Oaks Travel Extras

  • Upgrade on arrival, subject to availability
  • Daily Buffet Breakfast for two guests per bedroom
  • $100 USD equivalent Spa Services credit

Four Seasons Costa Rica

Why You’ll Love It

  • Easy to reach location just 30 minutes from the Liberia airport
  • Signature Four Seasons excellence combined with rainforest luxury make for a unique stay
  • The chocolate and rum tastings are a fun (and tasty!) way to experience local products

The Experience

Looking for the perfect luxury retreat in Costa Rica? Look no further than the beautiful Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica at Peninsula Papagayo. The resort is located on the northwest Pacific Coast and is just 30 minutes from the international airport, making it a great option for families that need a quick getaway. But once you arrive, we promise you may never want to leave!

Whether you’re staying for three nights or thirteen, you won’t find more comfortable rooms in Costa Rica. The 146 rooms and suites were recently renovated, tastefully incorporating indigenous art, local wood, and rich natural elements. Spacious private terraces overlook the rainforest or the bay, complete with comfy seating that’s absolutely perfect for watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee. Traveling with a larger family or friends? Ask us about the Prieta Bay Residences, offering a home-away-from-home with full kitchens and private pools.

Costa Rica is a great destination to combine beach bum relaxation and outdoor adventure, and the Four Seasons is no exception. The resort offers a variety of daily activities (many complimentary!) ranging from paddle boarding and kayaking to chocolate rum tasting and mixology classes. Relax in one of the three swimming pools or enjoy time down at the beach. Golfers absolutely love the 18-hole par-72 championship Arnold Palmer golf course, but trust us – everyone will want to check it out! The Four Seasons Costa Rica staff lead quick nature trips through the course in the evenings by golf cart, when you’re most likely to see wildlife like monkeys roaming around. Whatever you choose to do, you’ll be living the “pura vida” lifestyle!

Good to know: While the resort is very family-friendly, some of the rooms feature cliffside pools or walkways. Your River Oaks Travel Concierge can help you pick the perfect category for your family.

We also recommend visiting the serene spa for a treatment (we recommend the traditional hammam ritual!). While you’re there, take advantage of some of the fitness classes. Morning yoga overlooking the bay is perfect for centering yourself, or schedule a one-on-one ayurvedic session with a wellness ambassador to identify your primal nature.

Of course, somewhere between your adventuring and relaxing you’ll need to eat. At the Four Seasons Costa Rica, you have the choice of four different restaurants that all feature world-class locally-sourced organic cuisine. Anejo is our favorite – Latin-style tapas, great cocktails, and fun music turn the restaurant into a lively hot spot in the evenings. For an elegant evening, dine at Pesce with their classic Italian cuisine, featuring local seafood, pastas and an extensive wine list (plus great views of the ocean!). Families in particular will love the all-day casual dining at Pesce, or venture down to the golf course for the creative cuisine at Nemare.

  • The Cambi Kids Club is a great option for families (perfect to keep the kids happy while parents visit the spa!)
  • The complimentary minibar has snacks and non-alcoholic drinks, perfect for a quick treat in between activities
  • With the rainforest all around, you’re almost guaranteed to see sloths and howler monkeys on the property

The Experience

The Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula is a tropical paradise, perfect for a family vacation! Everything is about ease – with the Liberia airport nearby (and with direct flights from Houston!), a 20 minute drive is all it takes to arrive at this luxe Costa Rica resort.

While part of the Andaz brand, the resort is designed to really reflect the surrounding Papagayo Peninsula. The open-air lobby is made of hardwood and earth-hued stone that seamlessly blends into the greenery, and every view faces out over the blue waters of the bay. The rooms are elegant and almost treehouse in feel, with a modern design that won’t detract from the natural beauty of Costa Rica outside. We love that every single one comes with a spacious terrace and river stone rain shower!

Psst – We love the little inclusions that the Andaz! Enjoy the complimentary in-room minibar with snacks and drinks, plus flip-flops and beach hats to use during your stay!

The Andaz Costa Rica has four pools (one adults-only), so plenty of room to spread out and relax! While you may be tempted to lounge poolside all day, make sure to go down to one of the two beaches and take advantage of the complimentary kayaks, snorkeling equipment, and stand up paddleboards.

Our younger travelers love the Cambi kids club for ages 4 – 12, with plenty of games and activities. We can also arrange fun adventures with the Papagayo Explorers program, including outrigger canoeing, nature walks, mountain biking, survival lessons for teens (!) and more.

Whether traveling to Costa Rica for your first time or you’re a frequent visitor, a stay at the Andaz Costa Rica Peninsula Papagayo will immerse you in natural beauty and the feeling of “pura vida”

Nayara Gardens & Springs

Why You’ll Love It

  • Choose from the family-friendly Nayara Gardens or adults-only Nayara Springs, connected by a jungle footbridge
  • All rooms are private villas, most featuring private hot spring plunge pools
  • Open-air spa will have you relaxing to the sounds of the rainforest
  • As a member of Relais & Chateaux, the food at the four restaurants is phenomenal

The Experience

Nayara Gardens & Nayara Springs is the #1 Resort in Central and South America as named by Travel + Leisure, and the award is well-deserved! These two sister hotels offer guests an authentic and unmatched Costa Rican experience in the heart of the Arenal region.

Nayara Hotel Spa & Gardens is perfect for families and couples – the 50 individual casitas and suites designed to bring nature inside. Each bungalow-style room has an outdoor shower and jacuzzi overlooked by the Arenal volcano – you’ll never forget where you are when you wake up to that view!

A suspension bridge connects the hotel to its adults-only sister property, Nayara Springs. Here you have the choice of 25 villas with ultra-luxe style and privacy, plus an adults-only pool. Our favorite part of the villas is that they all include a private plunge pool fed by mineral hot springs – talk about the perfect way to relax after a long day of adventure!

Speaking of adventure, we recommend that all of our River Oaks Travelers spend at least three days in the Arenal region to have enough time to explore the area. This part of Costa Rica is known for adventures: ziplining, hanging bridges, waterfall hikes, whitewater rafting, nature safaris, and more! With a stay at Nayara, you’re perfectly positioned to enjoy all of these activities before winding down at your luxury resort.

Looking for some relaxation to mix in with your adventure? We highly recommend making a reservation at the Nayara Spa! The spa is perched on a cliff overlooking the tropical rainforest so you can enjoy a treatment to the sounds of nature. Far better than any sound machine! We also love that the products used highlight Costa Rica’s natural ingredients like coffee scrubs and volcanic mud.

For foodies, there are plenty of options to enjoy on-property (Nayara is part of Relais & Chateaux). The La Terraza Restaurant focuses on authentic, gourmet Costa Rican cuisine made from local produce and ingredients, all with the backdrop of the Arenal volcano. For a pre or post dinner drink, we love the Nostalgia wine bar, where you can sample the best of Latin American and Spanish vintages.

In the Nayara Springs section, Amor Loco is the signature gem, with avant-garde dishes, plush chairs, and live music that create an unexpectedly romantic ambience in the middle of the rainforest. Looking for something more casual? Mis Amores is a stylish terrace serving Latin-inspired bites like guacamole, gazpacho, and ceviche.

Advisor Tip

Head out on an after-dark exploration with one of the great staff members in search of the translucent “glass frogs” – they are extraordinary!

One&Only Mandarina

icon

Why You’ll Love It

  • Treehouse Suites with infinity pools overlooking the jungle
  • Perfect mix of beach relaxation and active adventure
  • Worlds-away feeling with easy access from Houston
  • Incredible sunset views and Mexican dishes at Carao

The Experience

While many resorts are opening in the heart of established and bustling cities, One&Only Mandarina takes a different approach. This luxury retreat was designed as an intimate new destination in the Riviera Nayarit area. One&Only takes advantage of its unique location in one of the last remaining beachfront jungles in Mexico, flanked by the warm Pacific Ocean and the lush forested mountains.

One&Only Mandarina blends chic resort living, tropical relaxation, and authentic outdoor adventure for a one-of-a-kind experience. Rooms and suites take advantage of the surroundings, with dramatic cliffside views over the ocean or immersion in the tropical jungle. However, our favorite rooms for romance are the stunning Treehouse Suites – these standalone villas are nestled among the treetops and feel a world away. Each features a private pool and a design that brings the outdoors in, with all of the luxurious amenities the One&Only brand is known for.

The celebrity-chef restaurant, The Point, offers creative cuisine and breathtaking views from the highest point. While you can certainly venture further afield for dining, the spectacular offerings at the resort may prevent you from ever wanting to leave. For casual beachside dining throughout the day, we recommend The Jetty Beach Club on glimmering sand. Savor dinner and drinks at Alma, nestled high amid lush forest canopy. However, our absolute favorite is the celebrity-chef inspired Carao – its creative Mexican dishes are only outdone by the unmatched sunset views.


While relaxing on the gorgeous beach is a must-do, there’s plenty of activities to be had at the One&Only Mandarina. From the vibrant Canalan Beach Club to a culinary-themed farm, thrilling adventure playground, and guided excursions into wild jungle. Winding nature trails through biodiverse flatlands, perfect for strolling, biking, horse riding, and paddle boarding. And the iconic Mandarina Polo & Equestrian Club, home to international events, horseback lessons, and dazzling theme nights.

Advisor Tip

Set off on a sea adventure from the Jetty, featuring a fire pit as a symbol of the dormant volcano that shaped the landscape.

As Experienced by River Oaks Travel Advisors

Sometimes the best gems are hidden off the beaten path. Roughly twenty minutes from Punta Mita at the end of dirt road, you will find a beautiful private jungle hideaway inspired by Aman hotels and Mexican prehispanic architecture – Imanta.

Imanta is set along a half-mile of private, sugar-white-sand beach, surrounded by a lush jungle reserve. When we say this is a boutique property, we mean it: this environmentally conscious resort features just 12 accommodations. Some are romantic bungalows seated on top of the dramatic cliffs, while others are multi-bedroom suites perfect for groups of friends or family. Ask your River Oaks Travel concierge to match you to the perfect accommodation option for you. To explore innovative solutions in trading, go here: Explore our solutions .

Imanta is a member of Relais & Chateaux, meaning the cuisine is incredible. The food is created from products that are all fresh, pure, local, and sustainable, from freshly caught fish to vegetables from nearby organic gardens. These ingredients inspire the Tukipa restaurant menu, which focuses on unique Mexican cuisine. Inspired signature cocktails, fine wine, imported and local beers as well as freshly made fruit juices are available in the bars and beautiful beach palapa.

In need of relaxation? The Spa Experience at Imanta offers an unforgettable combination of service and setting.

No matter what you decide, we recommend having your treatment on the beach to the sound of the waves.

With a convenient location just 30 minutes from the Puerta Vallarta airport, this oceanfront villa is set above its own pristine beach in Punta Mita, offering the perfect curated escape for up to 18 guests.

The design of the seven bedrooms is timeless and elegant, equally reminiscent of Mexico, California, and the Mediterranean. With a mix of King and Queen/Queen options, each oversized room is designed for comfort, from the soft design palette to the luxurious outdoor showers.

  • Most rooms feature private plunge pools

As Experienced by River Oaks Travel Advisors

For a beach escape like no other, check in to the St Regis Punta Mita. Frequented by celebrities and world leaders, the resort offers an exclusive setting in the heart of Riviera Nayarit. While we won’t blame you for spending all of your time on the white-sand beaches, you can also lounge at the three bi-level pools or take advantage of the impressive 10,000sqft Remede Spa (with two outdoor pavilions for manicures and pedicures!).

The St Regis Punta Mita features 120 guest rooms and suites (plus an ultra-lux Presidential Villa!) with gorgeous views of the ocean and lush grounds. We toured all of the room categories and loved the South of France-meets-Mexico feel to them. Our favorites had private plunge pools – we promise not to tell if you decide to just stay in and order room service!

Does your idea of a vacation mean a variety of activities? There’s plenty to do at the St Regis Punta Mita, from stand-up paddleboarding and kayak lessons to tennis and beach yoga. Golf aficionados will want a tee time on the resort’s two Jack Nicklaus Signature golf courses – Pacifico (19 hols) and Bahia (18 holes).

Of course, we can’t forget dining! Our favorite casual option for true toes-in-the-sand dining is Mita Mary Boat Bar, with food truck style offerings and fresh fish. We recommend ordering up a Mita Mary with your meal, the resort’s spin on the classic Bloody Mary, which can also be ordered at the alfresco Las Marietas Restuarant. For something more upscale, Carolina is the only AAA Five Diamond dining experience in Punta Mita, showcasing modern Mexican cuisine.

Advisor Tip

Have lunch on the beach at Mita Mary for out-of-this-world tacos and ceviche! You may even spot some whales while you’re dining.
