Of course, everyone knows someone who has been to the country and has stories, advice, warnings, etc. that they absolutely must share. First recommendation: fly into San Jose & use regional airline SANSA to get you... More

We enjoyed dining around the pool. The food was delicious and the Limon Daiquiri was very refreshing after an outing. The staff is so... More

We stayed at the Tambor Tropical for a few days and found our accommodations to be as beautiful as the web site pictures show. It is all wood with gleaming teak and with dark blue furnishings. We stayed in one of the upper cabanas and it was very large and comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen, air conditioning, a veranda, and... More

We went to Tambor Tropical as a part of our Costa Rica trip for 2 days. We were surprised by the size and amenities available in the room; A/C, Large Bed, Big Kitchen with a fridge and plush wooden flooring. The temperature of the swimming pool was just perfect and the bar well stocked! Although this hostel is perhaps not... More
