Enjoyed our stay
Great location, right on the beach. Nice room, pool right outside the door and restaurant/bar on the property (lunch and dinner several days per week.) well-equipped room, but a little disappointed that no beach chairs or umbrellas were provided or even available from the hotel. We were able to rent two chairs and an umbrella from a service a short distance down the street, but that added $25 per day. Also, the hotel WiFi needs work; it is spotty, depending on the time of day and where you’re located. On the whole, we were happy with our stay and would return, but a few little improvements would make it great.

Tamboo’s staff was friendly and the location can’t be beat for surfing on Sandy Beach. I’ve stayed at three hotels in Rincon and Tamboo was definitely my favorite.
