I booked this place to host a group retreat of 12 people for 7 days. Communication was a bit spotty in the beginning. I learned later that there was change in ownership. Communication improved with the property manager. When the group arrived I learned quickly that the kitchen was not prepared to handle our group. As the host I had to become the waitress and help to organize the daily meals. The rooms were also not cleaned by request. We did not have clean towels for some of the days. The owner was very reluctant to provide additional staff upon my request. There was so much miscommunication that put a damper in the group's experience. Other than this the location is beautiful and the neighborhood was very quiet. I can see this to be a great location for smaller groups and for couples or people traveling solo.

The staff were very nice and helpful. The rooms were fine and kept clean. The food was good and they accommodated our needs. We asked if there was a crib and were told they did have one, but when we arrived they did not. Not very convenient for infants. TVs in rooms did not work consistently if at all, also the showers hot water was inconsistent. This is not really a home rental, but more of a hotel and restaurant- so we spent more on food than we had planned. The pool was nice and the kids loved it. We requested a discount on the food package as no one in our party drinks alcohol but this was not granted.

Host profile image
Welcome to our boutique hotel, we hope that this place can be your home away from home. We are so excited for your trip to begin!

Your hosts Jerrid and Theresa moved to Tambor with their two children and have fallen in love with Costa Rica and all it has to offer. We want to give more people like us a chance to visit this gorgeous place and fall in love just like we did.

Why they chose this property

Unique in its kind, this castle-style villa sits in the most tropical and picturesque part of the jungle in Costa Rica. The quiet property is surrounded by a private park with howler monkeys, capuchin monkeys, wildlife, mango trees, beautiful flowers, palm trees, and birds. Two beaches are within a 10-minute drive: Tambor Beach is sandy and great for swimming; the waterfront at Tango Mar is rugged and beautifully scenic.

What makes this property unique

Located in Villas del Mar/Tango Mar complex, the finest and most luxurious development in Tambor.
