The food was not particularly good, and the cocktails were also lacking. ##### Edwin Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Thomas Apr 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Great for the location, but old facilities The location of the hotel is absolutely amazing, along the Tambor bay. However, the rooms were very old and the buffet quality average. ##### Thomas Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ana May 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This resort was amazing for the price! ##### Ana Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Frances Mar 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We enjoyed Tambor Varcello so myst we stayed 3 mmextea bughts! ##### Frances Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria Elena Nov 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful hotel! ##### Maria Elena Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sergio Feb 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Todo excelente ##### sergio Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Stephen Apr 24, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Rooms dated, staff not friendly and food below average ##### Stephen Stayed 11 nights in Apr 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Christian Jun 4, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness The staff was rude at the front desk. We asked questions since it was our first time and were given the cold shoulder by staff. ##### Christian Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Eva Jun 1, 2025 We lost 2 days because the airport is 4.5 hours from the hotel. There was no service around the pool area, the property had bugs everywhere and bugs and very big spiders at the pool by the gym. ##### Eva Stayed 10 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Had a great time Amazing place ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Nathalie Jul 25, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities While this property has a very nice pool and beach, the service was very minimal, facilities were outdated and our room was not in good condition. Check in took a long time because the desk was under staffed. We were provided minimal information about the property. We had 2 towels for 3 people, the phone did not work, and there was mold in the bathroom and shower. The sink was not draining, and we found a dead bug on the floor when we arrived. Sheets were stained. Food wasn’t great and the only reason I am not rating it one star is because of the outdoors. ##### Nathalie Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alexandra May 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Our massage at the spa was cancelled twice without notice. Staff is kind, but expect to get your own drinks when at the buffet since waiter service is limited at the eating locations, which is different than our other experiences. ##### Alexandra Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel & Spa Poco a Poco](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Spa-Poco-A-Poco.h4485115.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulemar Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Tulemar-Resort.h12685352.Hotel-Information) > > [El Faro Containers Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-El-Faro-Containers-Beach-Hotel.h8249200.Hotel-Information) > > [Fiesta Resort Central Pacific - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Barranca-Hotels-Fiesta-Resort-Central-Pacific-All-Inclusive.h692315.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Vacation Club at Los Suenos](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Marriott-Vacation-Club-At-Los-Suenos.h60169844.Hotel-Information) > > [La Vela Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-La-Vela-Boutique-Hotel.h11881555.Hotel-Information) > > [Camino Verde Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Camino-Verde-Bed-Breakfast.h4449816.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Costa Verde](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Hotel-Costa-Verde.h5580910.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel San Bada Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Hotel-San-Bada.h4247464.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Akumal-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Luxury-Akumal-All-Inclusive.h869980.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Naoz](https://www.expedia.ca/Manuel-Antonio-Hotels-Hotel-Naoz.h74524806.Hotel-Information) > > [Shana by the Beach Manuel Antonio](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Shana-By-The-Beach-Manuel-Antonio.h2351763.Hotel-Information) > > [Bosque del Cabo Rain Forest Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Bosque-Del-Cabo-Rain-Forest-Lodge.h11886299.Hotel-Information) > > [Monteverde Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Lodge-Gardens-By-Boena.h4497846.Hotel-Information) > > [Tango Mar Beachfront Boutique Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Tango-Mar-Beachfront-Boutique-Hotel-Villas.h903960.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Nantipa - A Tico Beach Experience](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Hotel-Nantipa-A-Tico-Beach-Experience.h28413626.Hotel-Information) > > [Los Suenos Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Los-Suenos-Marriott-Ocean-Golf-Resort.h522999.Hotel-Information) > > [Ylang Ylang Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Ylang-Ylang-Beach-Resort.h32536597.Hotel-Information) > > [La Mariposa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-La-Mariposa-Hotel.h119352.Hotel-Information) > > [Incredible Tropical Retreat Full of Monkeys, Sloths, Toucans and much more](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Incredible-Tropical-Retreat-Full-Of-Monkeys.h19220284.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Punta Leona](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Hotel-Punta-Leona.h486442.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Arenas-Del-Mar-Beachfront-Rainforest-Member-Of-The-Cayuga-Collection.h1484897.Hotel-Information) > > [Igloo Beach Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-IGLOO-BEACH-LODGE.h46091182.Hotel-Information) > > [Si Como No Resort, Spa and Wildlife Refuge](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Si-Como-No-Resort.h1321388.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yeg/toronto-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Ajnala (ATQ) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/atq/yyz/sri-guru-ram-das-ji-intl-airport-to-toronto) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Fort-Lauderdale.d601750.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Car rentals in Halifax](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Halifax.d602873.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Jamaica](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/88/Jamaica)
