Castillo Tambor was a shot in the dark for my wife and I. We had never been to Costa Rica before and weren't sure what to expect or not expect. We arrived late and were graciously welcomed by hotel staff. She was very helpful and welcoming, ensuring that we were happy with our room prior to leaving. This Hotel is True Castle as the name indicates. Our room was amazing and had an unbeatable view of the ocean. Surrounded by amazing animal and bird noises every morning the tastiest coffee we've had in a long time, equaled a true slice of paradise for us. The friendly staff assisted us with information about the surrounding area and was very informative. Castle grounds and city felt safe throughout our entire stay. We met with other guests who were from all over the world and made good new friends. The natural landscape of the pristinely-kept grounds were beautiful. Fruit trees, Avacado Trees, and Palms hug this property perfectly. We took hundreds of pictures of the Castle and its ground. Just Stunning. Every morning you'll see staff tending to the grounds. Even the owner of the Hotel was available and very accommodating to our every request or question. My wife and I will be booking this place again in June with our 3 children. There isn't a thing we needed that wasn't within a 20 minute driving distance. We truly recommend Castillo Tambor for couples or families looking for a relaxing vacation with all the amenities, activities, and beauty you could ask for.

Castillo Tambor is a really nice stay. The pool and main building are great. The rooms are unique and interesting. We stayed in the lower building and our room was fine. Very plain and simple compared to the main building. There is no sound proofing between room 8 and 9. We could hear everything the neighbours said and did and assume they could do the same with us. You need a car to go anywhere. Breakfast was included and was a traditional Tico meal which got us going in the morning. Overall a nice place to stay.

I had an amazing experience at this hotel. Check in was quick and the manager helped us with directions to rent an ATV. The owner of the hotel was so friendly and helpful and he gave us a ride to pick up the ATV!!! We felt very welcomed!!. If you want a place to get away to enjoy peaceful and comfortable stay, this is a good place to be. From this hotel, we could go to Montezuma beach, Tambor beach, Malpais town and Santa Teresa beach. Food was excellent and customer service was great!!!! I can’t wait to come back!

Le personnel est vraiment gentil est fait tout pour rendre le séjour agréable. La piscine est extra de même que le set-up extérieur. La nourriture est bonne et les drinks sont très très bons! Le hic…les chambres…du moins celle que nous avions, la #8…genre de petit bungalow. C’est limite inconfortable! Bref, c’est un spot sympa pour deux trois nuits max.

La piscina es de uso público lo cual es muy inconveniente porque es pequeña y hay pocas sillas. La primera tarde que llegamos hubo un grupo de personas (no huespedes) quienes incumplieron muchas de las reglas que nos hicieron firmar a nosotros, como tomar y comer dentro de la piscina, brincar y sobre todo hicieron muchisimo escándalo (musica ranchera a todo volumen y cantando y gritando) hasta las 21:00 y ocuparon todas las sillas sin ser huéspedes. Todo eso con complaciencia del personal. El desayuno es muy básico, no incluye frutas, ni té, ni tostadas. El servicio en general es lento y solo hubo dos muchachas atendiendo todo el hotel. Las habitaciones (con una cama) en la torre son bonitas pero la familiar (No 8) es bien básica, no tiene ningun mueble donde guardar ropa o guindar algo. Ni una silla. El lugar es bien bonito pero no se deberia abrir al público cuando hay huéspedes y deben mejorar la atención, y algunos detalles de las habitaciones.
