Reviews and Ratings
We spent a few days at this resort and were taken aback by its peaceful ambiance and direct beach access. The rooms were stylish and comfortable, making it a great spot for relaxation. However, the villa we rented had some quirks with the louvre windows that affected our stay. Overall, it's a beautiful place with a lot to offer, but there are some improvements needed for a more comfortable experience, especially during the hot days.
My family and I chose this resort for a few relaxing days, and while the natural setting was beautiful and the pool inviting, our experience was marred by issues in the villa we stayed in. Though it was stylishly designed, the lack of functional windows and air conditioning left us sweltering during the day. The grounds were lovely, but the upkeep of the interior and amenities needs attention.
My stay at Tambor Tropical was truly a memorable experience! The resort has breathtaking views and gorgeous grounds, reminiscent of a tropical paradise. The rooms were spacious but lacked air conditioning, which made the heat somewhat challenging. However, the warmth of the staff and the quality of the restaurant's offerings made up for it. It's definitely a place I'd recommend for both relaxation and adventure on the Nicoya Peninsula.
The resort is located right by the beach, offering stunning views and a relaxing atmosphere. I loved the spacious and clean rooms, as well as the warm, inviting pool area. However, the indoor facilities could use some upgrades, particularly the old shutters and appliances. The dining experience was quite basic, with limited breakfast options but generally enjoyable meals. Overall, it’s a good place for a peaceful getaway.
I had a fantastic week at the hotel, where the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. The clean and spacious rooms offered beautiful ocean views, perfect for relaxing. The location was great, right by the beach, which was a major highlight. While the food was mostly good, there were a few meals that didn't quite meet my expectations. Overall, it was a wonderful getaway with plenty of nature to enjoy and a peaceful atmosphere.
