This place was an oasis! The grounds are beautiful and it's 100 yards from the beach. The food and service was excellent. And the rooms are to die for. A little rustic in beautifully built and maintained solid wood structures. Ours has a great balcony overlooking the pool and beach. Beds were comfortable and it felt like we were in... More

Tambor Tropical was heaven on earth. The rooms are big, clean, comfortable and fully equipped with kitchens and living space. The restaurant was exellent and the staff incredible. It was peaceful, serene and authentic. Quiet, clean and beautiful. We highly recommend it. More

I thought of this trip as one of the most exciting adventures I have ever had. My girlfriend and I went there for a week,and were so impressed,I had to write a review. When you land in Costa Rica,you then get on a small plane for a 20 min ride, then land at a private air strip.What a ride. Costa... More

I just got back from 5 days at Tambor Tropical and I will never forget the great experience I had. You wake in the morning to a beautiful sunrise, enjoy poolside breakfast. Every day I was out and about, around Tambor, there is so much to do! If you’re into adventures the resort staff will point you in the right... More

My husband and I took the ferry over from Jaco after staying a week in a timeshare & stayed at Tambor Tropical for just the weekend. Wonderful service while checking in--even met the Manager of the property. Since we didn't have a lot of time, we wanted to book activites as soon as we got there & they accommodated us... More

My boyfriend (42 years old) and I (29 years old) are an active couple who needed a break from the hustle and bustle of work obligations and stress. We booked a last minute trip to Tambor Tropical based on a google search and a review in Travel & Leisure magazine. We didn't really know what to expect beyond the gorgeous... More

I got married at Tambor Tropical in 2010 and my wife and I decided to return for our anniversary. Our second stay here was just as good if not better than the first. The rooms have been updated with windows and air con - but that does not in anyway distract from the beauty and uniqueness of the pods. The... More

Tambor Tropical is a great choice; and it is an even greater value. The accomodations are so relaxing, and the location is perfectly tropical and serene, with outstanding sunrises, sunsets, and beach strolling. The food at the on site restaurant is traditional, and is a great value. Would recommend taking a stroll to the fishing village for some nice fresh... More

You must experience Tambor Tropical; but let's keep it our little secret! The service is outstanding; but it is the location that will steal your heart. Paradise is the quiet serenity of watching the most beautiful sunrise over the bay; enjoying the tropical trees, birds, and weather while lying in a hammock or swimming in the beautiful pool; or it's...
