Swimming in the hot thermal springs of Tabacon goes well beyond the pools. There are three cascading thermal waterfalls, with the main one adjacent to the entrance of the Grand Spa. Two more are located near the Palenque Bar, offering an intimate and adventurous escape for couples. These waterfalls are guest favorites, providing relaxation and natural hydrotherapy for sore or tight back and neck muscles.

Bar and snack services are available in these pools and are catered by the Palenque Bar staff.
