Tambor Tropical Beach Resort- Adults Only

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!

The ocean view was very nice from both the room and the pool area. The staff very courteous and the tempurature of the water in the pool was exceptional.

We stayed here 26 years ago after it first opened. Amazingly after so many years, it still looks brand new just like we remembered it. The place is idyllic and very romantic. The rooms are very large and have full kitchens, although we didn't use it. The service is fantastic - everyone is friendly and helpful. The manager even made sure we had lobster dinners one night. Since there are only 12 rooms, it is a very private place. At times it felt like our own private resort. The food is fantastic and the prices are very reasonable for everything on the menu - $5 pina coladas were our favorite. Macaws and Howler Monkeys were around the property. They even have a special turtle rescue operation and we were able to help send a few babies into the ocean. The Pura Vida tour company on site arranges tours - we took the national park/snorkel trip and horseback along the beach and into the jungle. I would love to go back again.

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.

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!

We were in Samara for 10 days and were to travel to Tambor for 4 more nights. My husband got every sick the day we were to go and we had to cancel our reservations the morning of our arrival. Staff was so nice and understanding. They are allowing us to use the deposit next year. We can't wait to go back.

Worst experience I have ever encountered. I booked their Villa last Chris**as for a Family Vacation stay in December 2022. Over a month ago I received a call wanting me to change the dates because the house had been overbooked. I informed them that was not possible. Since, I have sent several emails and tried calling. No Response. Today I received notification that my deposit had been refunded and later a simple email stating 'sorry we refunded your reservation as a new management came in" BEWARE!!
