Beautiful beach, loved the restaurant. We had a cute room. I’m sure the Oceanside rooms are even better! Very kind staff. Cute little shop attached with some local handmade jewelry.

Tiny spaces, but big beaches and views!
Great location to beach! Recommend this for a quick stop in Rincon for a couple. Rooms are small, but efficient. Restaurant is the best!!! Sit upstairs at sunset!

The location, beach, and bar and restaurant are top notch. Very convenient to other restaurants, bars, and sights. There is a nice and secure parking lot across the road from the hotel. Our room was clean and comfortable. The air conditioner works well but it makes a periodic loud humming sound every few minutes that occasionally made it difficult to sleep. We had to request additional t.p. and towels at the front desk, no one came to our room at any time to see if we needed anything. Needs more light in the bathroom and we were disappointed that the restaurant/bar was closed on the last two days of our stay so there wasn't anywhere close to get a drink on the beach on those two days. Otherwise, a very good value and pretty place to stay. The pool is a bit small and cold so we were happy that the beach was so nice and the sea was calm and warm.

We loved the location, right on Sandy Beach and walkable to several restaurants. The staff was friendly and responded to all requests! Our room was small for two adults for a week so we will get a bigger room at Tamboo next time. But we will come back .

Tamboo is paradise
Tamboo is an incredible place to stay at. The hotel is small enough to make it feel like it’s all to yourself. Beautiful rooms, friendly staff, security working all day. Safe and enjoyable. Restaurant is delicious. I recommend the tamboo ribs and stuffed pepper. Location is incredible. Only negative thing I have to say is cocktails are a little pricey but will absolutely stay again.

Very nice place. They had a great restaurant as well. The property had consistent hot water for the showers and clean towels for the pool and beach. The A/C units were a bit too big for our room, so learn your Celsius, put it on a timer and be careful not to freeze yourself.

Toilets suck
The toilets don't work...ours was backed up, we heard our neighbors struggling with theirs, and a sign in the bar bathrooms that say don't flush paper cause their sewer system can't handle it. Kinda gross.
Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023
Response from Tamboo Team on Feb 2, 2023
We apologize for your experience, it is a greater problem in the Rincon area especially the Puntas ward because of over development in the area and old sewer systems that the city gives little to no maintenance to. We do our best to keep the lines of our building clear by giving it private contracted monthly maintenance but unfortunately if people flush any paper at all down the toilets the line does gets backed up for the whole building. That’s why the signs are up to prevent any inconvenience. We are always available to help if any problem occurs. Hope you understand and thank you for taking the time to let us know.
