Wife and I just returned from 8 days early-mid November. Other than a couple of 8 hour visits to Costa Rica whilst on a cruise ship on the Caribbean side of the country, this is our first multi-day visit to Costa Rica. It was memorable; mostly good, some not so good. To Tambor Tropical Beach Resort's credit, they are responsible for many of the good memories and none of the lesser. Let's get the "not so good" Costa Rica visit issue out of the way now, so I can gush over the resort a little later. Rain...then it rained...more rain...when the rain stopped, it started raining again. We knew we were in the "shoulder season" between rainy and dry seasons, so we played the odds that say November is usually some rain in the afternoon or evening, then it stops and the sun comes out. So much for averages. Even the general manager at Tambor Tropical was empathetic to our bad timing, noting that this much rain, albeit not impossible, was very unusual for this time of year. This weather inconvenience, of course, cannot have any affect on my review of the actual resort, so here you go. The cabinas are absolutely gorgeous. Mainly made of teak and other locally sourced hardwoods, each cabina is a are piece of artistic craftsmanship, all coated with layers and layers of varnish. The furnishings? Same thing, made on site and locally the same way. The only thing that is not varnished teak is the ceramic tile on the counters and in the shower, and the tiles on the roof. Seriously, every other square inch is meticulously crafted and finished, including the stairs up to the second floor and all the siding and eaves and rafters. If you are a "wood guy", you will be impressed; big time. The beds are boxes and mattresses on a platform. I am a light sleeper, and I slept like a bambino. We stayed in a second floor unit. Admittedly there was nobody in the unit below us, so I cannot speak to the quiet factor of adjoining living spaces. Quite frankly, I think only 2 other units were occupied during our stay, and they were each alone in a separate structure. There is some noise from the bar palapa when somebody is over exuberant or belts out a guffaw, but it seemed to disappear at about 9 or 10 pm. The maintenance guy starts the leaf blower around 7am to clean up; not a 747 taking off, but could make a difference for a light sleeper. Me? I'm an "early to bed and early to rise" guy, so it all worked great for me. The restaurant was prompt and the food was very good. For me, the restaurant was used when my day trip dictated that the best plan was to get back to home base, eat, and crash. Otherwise, I am all about trying out the local mom-and-pops (aka: Sodas). Anyway, the couple of dinners that we did have at the resort restaurant were very good, so if that is your plan, you are on a good track. The service at all levels was super prompt, extremely courteous, and ultra helpful. The staff and management all went above and beyond to help make my sta

This was our 4th time at Tambor Tropical. The rooms are so beautiful, food is very good, location is perfect, and staff is very helpful. We love walking the beach every morning and listening to the howler monkeys at night. We are already planning on returning next year.

We were on a tout with Caravan and stayed here for three days. This was enchanting with a perfect environment for both couples and families. The rooms are "plantation" oriented with massive courtyards of green. The food was exceptional and the staff very, very helpful. We were there for our anniversary and every aspect was perfect!

The best hotel experience on a 15-day trip to Costa Rica staying in 3 other places. The rooms are specious and convenient. The restaurant is great and relatively inexpensive. The services are superb. A tour guy on the spot. Excellent and helpful staff. Full five stars!

Absolutely amazing resort. Love the pool, grounds and bar/restaurant. Zander in the pool bar looked after us every night and made us feel so welcome. He also makes the most amazing cocktails. Can't recommend it enough!!!!

I stayed here originally in December as part of a kayak trip and is how I found the place. Enjoyed it so much I came back for another trip in March. Beautiful rooms, the pool is incredible, the area is super peaceful and right by the beach. The wildlife is amazing, I’ve seen howler monkeys right in the forest here along with the variety of birds, they have a turtle program so you might be able to see baby turtles released. The staff are great and made my stay wonderful. I felt like family at the end. Can’t wait to go back!
