Lodge Margouillat, hotel in Tambor

Lodge Margouillat is situated on a property of 4 hectares with an abundance of exotic wildlife and maintained gardens.

The explanations by Thomas at the beginning were inspiring. The details of his luxury and very clean and secure resort were outstanding. We experienced more wildlife (animals) in his resort than in the guided tours around the country. We stayed 5 days and were pleased to go back to this oasis every evening.

Fidelito Ranch & Lodge, hotel in Tambor

Set on a 60 hectars farm in the spectacular Tambor Hills, Fidelito Ranch and Lodge offers accommodation surrounded by private gardens, tropical forest and small streams.

There were three of us who stayed in the three bedroom villa, next to the forest frequented by howler monkeys. The interior is rustic, just as we wanted. We provided our own meals without any problems. The owner Brigit was super helpful, and in addition toi explaining details of how to get around by car for shopping, retaurants etc, she provided the essential help for us to get to the right place to commence our salt water fishing session. This required WhatsApp calls and messaging, which she offered to initiate, rather than us asking.

Beautiful spot. These houses are adorable and very good value. Bigger pool than I expected and beautiful gardens. We watched two red Macaws having a big argument. We enjoyed the company of the two cats too

    Playa Tambor is a sleepy little village, very quiet.

    Playa Tambor is a sleepy little village, very quiet. The beach itself is very nice, especially when the tide is out, there are large sand flats. There is a small resort just off the beach called the Tambor Tropical resort which we used for drinks and lunch, very nice, all outdoor tables and bar, great staff. We spent one day at Santa Theresa beach, about 45 minute drive away. Fantastic beach, busy beach town, great if you want to watch the surfers, go for a beautiful long walk or lounge around on the beach. Not that great for actual swimming since it is quite flat, you need to walk out a long way to get to your waist. We didn't eat while there so I can't comment on restaurants except to say there where lots of them. We found the whole area beautiful and intend to visit again.

    The hotel is very well looked after and clean. Food was good not great but no complaints. Drinks were simple but adequate No real mojito here. Very little English speaking workers and was frustrating. I personally would not recommend the hotel unless you spoke Spanish. The hotel is shooting themselves in the foot by not attracting guests I would not recommend the hotel to family and friends for that reason and we heard that from many English guests The Disco at night had no one in it and the music blasted so load with the base boom boom boom till 3 am Wrong music for the majority of your travellers and started at 11 pm to late for many Staff was friendly and wanted to help just that language barrier When you went out to eat any place on the property the staff are oblivious if you require more coffee or water or wine. You have to flag them down

    Small village, isolated - at the bottom of the peninsula. Road to get there is slow and curvy (suggest only driving during daylight, if you are driving a rental). Great restaurants and has a local grocery store. ATM about 5min away, or a full bank / ATM about 20min drive (Cobano town).

    Tambor is a strange place, dominated by a big all-inclusive resort hotel and a massive golf community development, which together make the beach access very limited, unfortunate for anyone who doesn't stay or live at either place. There are not a lot of restaurants or a real centre to Tambor and we ended up going to Cobano for shopping and dining and spent a great day in Montezuma, where we would go back to in the future.

    The place it’s self is in an ideal location.

    The place it’s self is in an ideal location. However, the rooms are dated and need updating. You can only eat there and I just found the food a little expensive and not particularly inspiring. We traveled around Costa Rica and stayed at 4 different places. This was the least enjoyable part of our trip. We spent 3 nights there I wish we had stayed in Santa Teresa and Hermosa longer. The food is far superior and cheaper in these areas and more reflective of Costa Rica. This is probably an ideal location for the older traveller as it’s quite and on the beach. The water was almost inaccessible as the waves dump you back on the beach. So we had to use the 3 pools they have which are small the water was almost jacuzzi hot and not pleasant. Staff were great and helpful so no complaints there. The golf course unless you have your own clubs I would give a miss due to the dated equipment you hire.

    What a wonderful place! I stayed in room 501 which had direct views over the sea. It was huge, extremely comfortable and exceptionally clean. I only stayed for one night but, boy, was it worth every penny. The hotel is peaceful and secluded and has a lovely pool and/or dining area to relax in, when the sand gets too hot. The beach is absolutely stunning! And because it's remote, there's hardly anyone on it. I just sat and watched the pelicans playing in the water all day. Pure bliss.

    You couldn’t get a more private and beautiful beach location. Its picture post card beautiful beach is just out of this world and honestly would be difficult to beat given it’s literally a 2 km private beach…max 10 people on at any one time! Pool was really nice and swim up bar a nice touch. Our kids enjoyed the smoothies and we enjoyed the cocktails! The hotel looks like something out of a Roger Moore based James Bond movie. Tonnes of charm and unbelievable setting.

    Coffee was good, eggs nicely cooked. Breakfast not sumptuous but met our expectations, The location of the hotel for the beach at Tambor is very good. The rooms were comfortable, a second bed was available in the entrance area. The bathrooms were clean and hot water was plentiful. Large windows provided plenty of light. The host was very helpful and directed us to a very good local restaurant.

    The location is very quiet , looking out over the sea. It is about a 4km drive into the village and actual Tambor beach. If you are looking for peace and quiet this is the place. Beautiful pool looking at the sea, very nice casita, comfortable bed, good air conditioning. 2 burner gas range works well. We saw whales, howler monkeys, tons of birds. Even macaws flying through.

    We loved our stay here. Will recommend to friends and family planning a trip to the region for sure and if we're back in the area will definitely come back to see Thomas and his beautiful hotel. Beautiful private rooms, AC worked wonderfully, pool was basically private as no one used it while we were there, and we saw howler monkeys and Scarlett macaws. Incredible spot!

    Blue Zone Retreat is located close to the main road, but distant enough so one doesn't hear the cars. The Yoga deck is great and enjoyable. Tambor beach is 5 minutes walk and you find some decent restaurant. The stay was very nice although we were travelling without a car.

    I love staying at Tambor Tropical. This is my 4th stay. It is oceanfront, very quiet and calm unlike Santa Teresa. You are still near enough to Montezuma and Santa teresa to visit for the day or for a nice meal but staying at TT is like a little slice of paradise.

    Breathtaking views. An amazing place for our family to relax. The rooms had outdoor access to the wonderful out door space. The kitchen was small but equipmented for cooking. The pool overlooking the ocean was amazing. The town of Tambor was small and wonderful

    The setting was beautiful, tranquil, surrounded by fields and forest. Excellent for morning birding walks and a short walk from Tambor beach. William, the manager, was a lovely man, very friendly and helpful. Fresh sea bass from the local fishermen on the BBQ.

    The view from the tiki suite is gorgeous. The breakfast was good, especially for my vegan wife. The beach is a 1m walk from the tiki and the pool is big. The room is large, with hot tub and a nice shower. The bed is huge and very comfy.
