Cool hotel Really cool castle-like hotel, beatiful pool, and pet friendly. The lady taking care of guests in the evening is a gem!

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).

Very friendly staff, excellent service. Amazing place to stay, would recommend a car since it’s a bit of drive off road.

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.

1) Overall quaint location, gardens and building 2) The Food was horrible...no flavor, imagination, and DEFINITELY nothing like you see on their website. Many things on their menu were not available. 3). We purchased a premium room at the top of the tower: a). Hottest room there as the underside of the tin roof is exposed. The Air conditioning was not powerful enough to cool the immensely hot room. Use of the CLACKY fan to aid this did not help. b). Lack of clothing storage..no dresser, or closet c). Mismatched used/old/ broken furniture was not what I expected for this type of room. College dorm rooms look better d). Pillows were uncomfy (hard/crunchy) e). Mattress was comfy f). Windows were dirty. Disappointing, since it is the one with the ocean view g). The Tv/Airconditioner area had wires hanging all over the place h). The bathroom was disgusting. EXTREME hard water stains on ALL the glass surfaces and water handles made everything look dirty. The shower floor had hard water stains near the drain. The instant hot water heater was barely hanging on the wall, with electric wires exposed and you could see through the hole to the outside. Broken toilet seat. Nothing to place toiletries on. 1 bathroom window would not open. NO HOT WATER!!!!!!

We stayed here in March 22 - originally planned to stay 4 nights but left after 2 (apparently this often happens) If you want seclusion and inflated prices ($6 for a small beer) and want to drive everywhere then this is the place for you. Breakfast was lovely, and hotel is beautiful to look at - but no information was give about anything- like breakfast times, how to find the beach etc. All outside lights switched off at 9.30 regardless of if anyone was still sat outside- and as we were sole guests - when the staff left at 9.30pm we were left completely alone in the hotel. Water in our superior room was sporadic and no hot or even warm water was available. Also no English spoken - which isn't a complaint but something to be aware of. If you do visit please feed the lovely little black cat.
