Tabacon Hot Springs

Wow. The Lonely Planet wasn't wrong to emphasise the luxury of Tabacon hot springs! Felico had booked us on the dinner and springs package, and to top it all he even drove us down there and fast-tracked us straight in.

The hotel and spa have been erected at the source of natural thermal springs and once you leave the changing room you're confronted with a wealth of options in terms of pools, waterfalls and river sections (all varying in temperature) for you to relax in. Needless to say, after a long day of rappeling this was just what the doctor ordered!

The whole place is like a jungle and superbly lit at night to really show off the pools, vegetation and clouds of steam rising from the bath temperature water.

Amber was in her element.

Once we'd had our fill of blissful soaking we headed up to the hotel's food area to indulge further in a filling if not exactly five star Asian buffet.

Without doubt the best part of the meal were the delicious peanut cookies available on the coffee stand. As I sit here writing the blog in the Kokoro's very chilled out, jazz-filled, open air reception area I'm kicking myself for not filling a napkin with some. They'd be perfect with the coffee I'm about to make...
