My daughter and I stayed for a week at Tambor Tropical and it was the best trip ever! The resort was fantastic and the people were wonderfully helpful. We had a really great time and we will go back (plus tell every person we know how great the trip was). Tambor Tropical was magical! Great place doing great things!!

A wonderful, tropical, restful, and relaxing experience! This was our first trip to Costa Rica & we were not quite sure what to expect. Of course, everyone knows someone who has been to the country and has stories, advice, warnings, etc. that they absolutely must share. First recommendation: fly into San Jose & use regional airline SANSA to get you... More

As with the other reviews this is indeed an amazing resort. Everything anyone could want in luxury accommodations, spotless with incredible pool side dinning and... More

Tambor Tropical lived up to everything I saw on their website. We stayed in an upper cabana and enjoyed our views of the bay. The pool below us was sparkling clean as was the entire resort. We enjoyed dining around the pool. The food was delicious and the Limon Daiquiri was very refreshing after an outing. The staff is so... More

We stayed at the Tambor Tropical for a few days and found our accommodations to be as beautiful as the web site pictures show. It is all wood with gleaming teak and with dark blue furnishings. We stayed in one of the upper cabanas and it was very large and comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen, air conditioning, a veranda, and... More

We went to Tambor Tropical as a part of our Costa Rica trip for 2 days. We were surprised by the size and amenities available in the room; A/C, Large Bed, Big Kitchen with a fridge and plush wooden flooring. The temperature of the swimming pool was just perfect and the bar well stocked! Although this hostel is perhaps not... More

We had the best time at the Tropical. The staff is great, very friendly and can not do enough for you. The rooms are huge with a full kitchen and large sitting area. You have a private porch to relax and watch the sunrise and set. Our room did not have A/C which was an adjustment. But hearing the surf,... More
