Lodge Margouillat, hotel in Tambor

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

The location of the property was remote, which was exactly what we were looking for to start our trip. Thomas, the owner of the property, was an incredibly hospitable host who made us feel like we were staying with a close friend. He provided us with everything we needed to be comfortable, including towels for both the pool and shower, and other items we may have forgotten to bring. Additionally, he gave us many helpful suggestions for tours, food, and anything else we wanted to know. We had the property all to ourselves for the first day, which made it feel like our own personal oasis. The property boasts two pools - one warmer than the other (best enjoyed later in the evening) and one that was perfect for cooling off during the day. Each day we were provided with breakfast (toast, jam, juice, coffee/tea and fresh fruits).

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The Hotel sits on a remote plot and the suites are pretty. The views from the hotel and birds are impressive. The fishing village of Tambor is cute and only few tourists seem to come through. The local store and in-room kitchen meant you can cook your own food, which we greatly enjoyed. You will need wheels if you want to explore beyond the property or Tambor. The tours offered on site were convenient and nice.

    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.

    Nice pool and excellent breakfast. Room good size and great air conditioning and hot shower. Nice sitting area outside your room. Room was quiet at night. Walking distance to Tambor Tropical, which had wonderful dinners and views of the sunset, at very reasonable price. Also check out Pura Vida tours, next door to Tambor Tropical. If you have the $$$$ for it, Tambor Tropical looks very nice.

    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.

    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.
