Castillo Tambor Resort & Restaurant

1) Overall quaint location, gardens and building 2) The Food was horrible...no flavor, imagination, and DEFINITELY nothing like you see on their website. Many things on their menu were not available. 3). We purchased a premium room at the top of the tower: a). Hottest room there as the underside of the tin roof is exposed. The Air conditioning was not powerful enough to cool the immensely hot room. Use of the CLACKY fan to aid this did not help. b). Lack of clothing storage..no dresser, or closet c). Mismatched used/old/ broken furniture was not what I expected for this type of room. College dorm rooms look better d). Pillows were uncomfy (hard/crunchy) e). Mattress was comfy f). Windows were dirty. Disappointing, since it is the one with the ocean view g). The Tv/Airconditioner area had wires hanging all over the place h). The bathroom was disgusting. EXTREME hard water stains on ALL the glass surfaces and water handles made everything look dirty. The shower floor had hard water stains near the drain. The instant hot water heater was barely hanging on the wall, with electric wires exposed and you could see through the hole to the outside. Broken toilet seat. Nothing to place toiletries on. 1 bathroom window would not open. NO HOT WATER!!!!!!

Beautiful room at the top of the stone tower with a stunning view of the ocean. We stayed when there were few other guests and enjoyed the quiet atmosphere. The pool was super clean and a lovely break from the warm temps. Staff was beyond friendly and helpful. They facilitated a trustworthy taxi driver and boat tours. A tasty breakfast was included and was true Costa Rican fare. This location does not have a sandy beach within walking distance, but the Tambor beach was only a few minutes drive. Under new ownership now with a great Canadian couple taking over. Lots of renovations.

Esta muy apartado de todo, pero si estas en la zona y buscas donde quedarte es una buena opción. La habitación deja un poco de desear, pocos enchufes y mobiliario, pero es “curioso”. Desayuno bueno, zona piscina muy bien. A unos 20 min se puede ir a nada a la playa
