Tambor Tropical is an exceptionally well cared for property. We were well taken care of by very friendly and attentive staff. The hotel is a great place for a quiet and peaceful getaway. This isn't a comment towards the hotel, but we felt important for visitors to know that the beach isn't a great swimming beach. It is great for sunrises, long walks, and not sharing it with many other people.

There are very few rooms so there is never any crowd either around the pool or for dining. The resort is fairly isolated so there is usually an expensive cab ride ($50-$100 U.S.) to go anywhere unless its part of an excursion.

This is a fantastic location, the property is so much better in person than as advertised online. The staff is great and the beach is fully of seashells with very little traffic. In fact, we were the only ones on the beach for several hours. Absolutely beautiful hotel!!! Will come back!

Beautiful place! Photos don't do it justice. The owner has a teak farm up the hill and the buildings inside and out are made from teak. Such craftsmanship! Rooms are HUGE and airy. Only 12 villas. You can eat/drink at the resort, or wander down the street for other dining/drinking options. The staff is friendly and attentive. Javier arranged all our excursions - snorkeling, bioluminesence night tour, ATVs.. Just perfect!

Everything was perfect down to the most minutions details. Our suite was amazing, with all the space and amenities one could think of. We were able to watch the beach sunrise from our bed every morning! The property manger Juan Carlos Cruz was on top of it all! All the staff members were amazing! Namely, Karyn at the front desk, and Xander and Emily at the breakfast bar, The massage session was extremely relaxing, out of this world! I recommend this resort to couples, friends and adult family members anytime.

Best room we stayed in Costa Rica
This is an amazing resort. Small resort with the most amazing large teak rooms right on the beach.The rooms have a fully equipped kitchen large washroom and huge living space. No details have been spared on these luxurious suites. All the staff go above and beyond.If you are looking for quiet high end resort look no further this is the place and you won’t be disappointed.

Great place
Positive Lovely rooms, with kitchen. Air con worked well, but didn’t really use it much as the room was well designed so the sun didn’t heat the room. Scarlet macaws outside room at dawn and dusk, plus howler monkeys occasionally. Negative The included breakfast was just juice, fruit and granola. It seemed stingy to charge for eggs! I’m short and the bed was very high so had to ‘Fosby Flop’ to get into bed (not joking)

Small and Nice resort
Small and nice resort. Good service overall and beautiful bungalows. Ocean front, overseeing Tambor beac. Tambr beach is slightly muddy, but good/safe swimming conditions and not over-crowded. Perhaps breakfast choice could be improved, but i recommend the place.

Wonderful Quiet hotel
I wish I could give it more than a 5 star rating. I was at Tambor Tropical 20 years ago, and it's still as beautiful as ever. Great food. Rooms are awesome, made out of local hardwoods. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. I cannot say enough good things about TT. I will definitely come back, and hopefully sooner than 20 years. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a quiet, laid back vacation. With only 10 rooms, you will not like this hotel if you are looking for crazy nightlife.

Humid but nice
The extremely high humidity was not the fault of the hotel. It could be blamed on el Nino. I live in the US South and am use to high humidity levels but this took the cake. The beach is not crowded. The only real issue was the lack of off site places to eat. There is a small store just around the corner in which you can purchase just about anything you need.

Very nice hotel to relax.
This is a perfect hotel to relaxation, in the middle of beatiful tropical forest. No TV's, phone neither in rooms. I was late and one person was waiting for me, but the restaurant close at 10:00 pm. The poolside bar is the restaurant. I have to wait for the wi-fi password until the next day. The personal attention was great.
