The pool and main building are great. The rooms are unique and interesting. We stayed in the lower building and our room was fine. Very plain and simple compared to the main building. There is no sound proofing between room 8 and 9. We could hear everything the neighbours said and did and assume they could do the same with us. You need a car to go anywhere. Breakfast was included and was a traditional Tico meal which got us going in the morning. Overall a nice place to stay. ##### Jill Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Karina Jan 9, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Malo en general Los pocos empleados intentan cubrir las necesidades de los clientes pero tienen muy poco personal , no cuentan con recursos a mano ni un administrador o encargado . Por ejemplo , no habían huevos para el desayuno y entre ellos decidieron ir a comprar para brindar desayuno a los huéspedes . Pero se nota poco interés por invertir en el lugar. Los servicios sanitarios de las habitaciones están manchados , nada de champú, ni implementos de baño, si vas debes llevar, solo le ponen un mini jabón de cuerpo en un paquetito. La piscina si estaba limpia pero no se ofrecen almuerzos porque no hay personal ni recursos , hay un bar pero nadie lo atiende , de manera que durante el día no te ofrecen ni un vaso de agua mientras estás es la piscina o alrededores ##### Karina Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kristy Feb 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We stayed for four nights. The building is quite remarkable. The top floor has exquisite views of the ocean and forest. While this is a very cool spot- small lodge, beautiful architecture/building there is definitely room for improvements in customer service/attention. While I am an independent traveler, I appreciate small gestures that go along way for customer attention. Such as a simple welcoming/greeting upon arrival- this did not happen and would have went a long way if it had. Details were non-existent for beach access, breakfast times, gate closure to get in/out, housekeeping needs (have to leave the room key with the staff if you leave the lodge), as there is only one key and they can not get into the room to clean otherwise. The shower was poor- again, I understand the rustic nature of the lodge- but it was so loud, trickled water that fluctuated between hot/cold. And lastly, the fan in the room was incredibly (painfully) noisy. It is not reasonable that anybody would/could/should listen to the noises this fan makes. And the lighting in the hallways were out at nighttime (but on during the day??)- making the trek up the flights of stairs a safety issue (had to use my own flashlight to see). ##### Kristy Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nidal Apr 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Castillo Tambor was a shot in the dark for my wife and I. We had never been to Costa Rica before and weren't sure what to expect or not expect. We arrived late and were graciously welcomed by hotel staff. She was very helpful and welcoming, ensuring that we were happy with our room prior to leaving. This Hotel is True Castle as the name indicates. Our room was amazing and had an unbeatable view of the ocean. Surrounded by amazing animal and bird noises every morning the tastiest coffee we've had in a long time, equaled a true slice of paradise for us. The friendly staff assisted us with information about the surrounding area and was very informative. Castle grounds and city felt safe throughout our entire stay. We met with other guests who were from all over the world and made good new friends. The natural landscape of the pristinely-kept grounds were beautiful. Fruit trees, Avacado Trees, and Palms hug this property perfectly. We took hundreds of pictures of the Castle and its ground. Just Stunning. Every morning you'll see staff tending to the grounds. Even the owner of the Hotel was available and very accommodating to our every request or question. My wife and I will be booking this place again in June with our 3 children. There isn't a thing we needed that wasn't within a 20 minute driving distance. We truly recommend Castillo Tambor for couples or families looking for a relaxing vacation with all the amenities, activities, and beauty you could ask for. ##### Nidal Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katherine Feb 28, 2025 ##### Katherine Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Mar 9, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Was run like a northern fishing camp .

La piscine est extra de même que le set-up extérieur. La nourriture est bonne et les drinks sont très très bons! Le hic…les chambres…du moins celle que nous avions, la #8…genre de petit bungalow. C’est limite inconfortable! Bref, c’est un spot sympa pour deux trois nuits max. ##### Marie-Jose Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Donna-Louise Feb 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Donna-Louise Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Monika Jan 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, amenities La piscina es de uso público lo cual es muy inconveniente porque es pequeña y hay pocas sillas. La primera tarde que llegamos hubo un grupo de personas (no huespedes) quienes incumplieron muchas de las reglas que nos hicieron firmar a nosotros, como tomar y comer dentro de la piscina, brincar y sobre todo hicieron muchisimo escándalo (musica ranchera a todo volumen y cantando y gritando) hasta las 21:00 y ocuparon todas las sillas sin ser huéspedes. Todo eso con complaciencia del personal. El desayuno es muy básico, no incluye frutas, ni té, ni tostadas. El servicio en general es lento y solo hubo dos muchachas atendiendo todo el hotel. Las habitaciones (con una cama) en la torre son bonitas pero la familiar (No 8) es bien básica, no tiene ningun mueble donde guardar ropa o guindar algo. Ni una silla. El lugar es bien bonito pero no se deberia abrir al público cuando hay huéspedes y deben mejorar la atención, y algunos detalles de las habitaciones. ##### Monika Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### María Jan 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Buen servicio de las personas que trabajan ahí, nos ayudaron rápidamente con problemas de la habitación. Camas confortables, pero almohadas muy duras. En general es un buen lugar para desplazarse a puntos de interés cercanos. Rico desayuno y piscina refrescante. ##### María Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024
