"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 "

"Great breakfast and location! "

"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!"

"My experience at this hotel was simply outstanding. From the very beginning, the staff’s service was spectacular friendly, professional, and always ready to help with anything I needed. The hotel itself is truly beautiful, carefully maintained, and offers a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you feel instantly relaxed. The included breakfast is another highlight: the variety is excellent, with plenty of delicious options to choose from every morning. The location couldn’t be better, perfectly situated to enjoy everything the area has to offer. Without a doubt, it’s the best hotel in the area. I highly recommend it and can’t wait to come back."

"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."

"Cute and quaint! Clean room and location was within walking distance to the beach, groceries stores, coffee shops and more. Staff were friendly and helpful in answering local questions. Shared kitchen was clean and the necessities to make your own meals. I recommend!"

"Great hotel and location, maybe slightly outdated but we liked tropical style of the hotel.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