San Lucas Island Castle Hotels

"After being around Costa Rica for two and a half weeks, and staying at various hotels and lodges, we found the Vistas las Islas to be the best accommodation on this trip. Juan was very accommodating, welcoming and knowledgeable. The property and the room were sparkling clean, and everyone on the staff we met was genuinely nice and courteous. Thank you "

"The staff is very welcoming and attentive, the rooms are clean and "

"I had an amazing stay! The place was clean, conveniently located, bedsheets were perfect, and breakfast was phenomenal. I’m so glad I stayed there and I definitely would recommend this place! "

"The place was nicely quiet, everyone was so nice. The only negative was the road getting there. So is all of Costa Rica. The staff were very friendly, ocean & beach great. We loved it!"

"The location was perfect — with easy access to Curú Park, Santa Teresa, and Montezuma. Cóbano was just a few minutes away, offering great supermarkets and an ATM, which made things very convenient. The resort itself was beautiful, well‑kept, and thoughtfully landscaped. The pool was magnificent; we swam multiple times a day, including refreshing evening swims. Staff members Emy and Andrea were wonderful — welcoming, attentive, and accommodating throughout our stay. Food at the hotel was delicious, and breakfast was included, which was a great touch. We also loved discovering a few local sodas within walking distance — each one was amazing and added to the authentic experience. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back. Tambor Tropical offers a blend of comfort, hospitality, and easy access to nearby adventures that makes it a standout choice in the area."

"The views from the higher rise building are exceptional especially river view from the 5th floor. We loved breakfast and pool time here - stayed two nights and didn’t leave the resort! Some party noises on the Sat night and into the wee hours but expected given we are on holiday! "

"Everything was perfect. Room, service, location and restaurant were all 5 stars"

"It was very old school.and it was not what I expected. Quite a unique experience because it is so remote. No regrets, you mighr want a 4 wheel drive. I was treated like a VIP."

"Great hotel and location, maybe slightly outdated but we liked tropical style of the hotel. The hotel is oriented mainly for Spanish speaking people."
