Disappointing experience

So many people, it felt like a cruise ship. Long lines at the buffet. Mediocre food. Could not reserve a table for an evening meal at any of the restaurants because they were booked solid. Overall, it did not feel luxurious. I’m glad we only booked a room for one night.

The reception area was nice. The restaurant staff were (mostly) very good. The reception staff were very good. The bar staff were not good. They all looked thoroughly grumpy all the time, as though they didn't want to serve anyone ever. Only at the lobby bar in the evenings were the staff pleasant. At all bars the drinks were weak, poor quality and the cocktails bad tasting. Their idea of rose wine was to mix red and white. The hotel was fine, the rooms are dated but clean and the air con worked well. I don't like all the disclaimers you have to sign about not being sick in the pool or rooms and the associated fines - how much are they allowing people to binge drink that this happens often enough that all guests have to sign waivers? You see the bar staff just pouring endless quantities of liquors into people's own flasks and then wonder why people are smashed drunk and sick??? Yet it takes forever to get served just one glass of something if you are behaving normally. There are nice features at the hotel - mini golf, a climbing wall for kids, trampoline and a nature park with lots of parrots to see. The playground would be nice but it's very broken and needs repairing in lots of places. You can't swim in the sea because of crocodiles and stingrays. It's also quite pebbly and not soft sand. The food was pleasant but limited choice and rather bland. The hotel is very far from being a 5 star. Our family rates it 3* at best. I wouldn't come back.

Getting onto the resort our car check in was thorough, which gave us a sense of security during our stay. We booked a room with one king bed, but were given a room with two queens pushed together. There was a nice hammock attacked to our room which was private and had a beautiful view of the water, but the room itself was slightly dirty. The pool was beautiful!! Our only complaint was that they closed the pool at 7pm so swimming was often cut too early. The food was... ok. There were plenty of options but the quality was not what you would think for an all inclusive.

We stayed 2 nights at the resort. It was a decent stay, but nothing grand. While the outside grounds/buildings were immaculate, the inside of the room we stayed in was very outdated, aged and not overly clean. It was disappointing. The mini fridge was not stocked when we arrived and when it did get stocked, it was very minamally done and with no beer. A let down given it’s an all-inclusive. Also, the resort doesn’t do anything for birthdays unless you pay. Too bad because we were on this trip for my husbands 50th.

The staff was not friendly upon arrival and check-in, service at the bars was slow and unfriendly. The food was ok but all the restaurants that we went to had basically the same things other than the entree. The pool was warm like a hot tub, not cool and refreshing. The beach was rocky. The room was dated and our toilet and shower didn't work properly. Luckily it was in beautiful Costa Rica which made up for everything and the tour that was offered to Tortuga Island was awesome, with a great staff and food!!

The property grounds were nice and there was wildlife everywhere. The pool was great as well as the landscaping. The food was average or below compared to most other all inclusive resorts i have stayed at but there were many options to choose from and you could always find at least a few things that were decent at the buffet. The entire resort is catered to locals which was a cool experience except for all the shows and activities were in Spanish only. They seemed great and as long as you speak spanish but my family does not and the it didn't keep the kids interest. The customer support team was extremely helpful and the staff was friendly. We enjoyed our time but if i were to book it again i would choose a different resort. Last time to costa rica i stayed at the rui and stayed at secrets and visited the riu... both of which i would recommend over the barcelo because of the food and language barrier. Over all we enjoyed our stay.

Pros: The property is absolutely beautiful and the pool areas are fantastic. The beach is amazing and enormous, it seems like you can walk forever without a care. Wish-We-Knew: This property is designed for Spanish speaking families with small children, not so much for English speaking tourists. Very few of the staff are fluent in English and nearly all the entertainment is intended for small children. Every night the entertainment venue/stage offers cartoons and live kids entertainment, really nothing for adults. All the bars on site are only open from 11AM to 6PM (odd for a beach resort). After 6pm only the lobby bar remains open and the lines can be 10-20 minutes long just to get a drink with everyone relying on this one location. The buffet as good and seemed to offer new options each night. All of this stuff is obviously fine but we really wish they had made it more clear on this website that the resort is geared for families with little ones. Had we known this up front we may have made a better choice for a husband/wife trip.

The hotel seemed short staffed. Long lines to access the dining area buffet, the check in and check out. Unable to schedule dining at the restaurants with family. The reason for our visit was to celebrate family and we could never sit down together to share a meal. There were flies and roaches in the buffet. The waiters were not friendly or accommodating in any way. The night shows were boring and plain. The beach was the best part but there is no hotel services there. At other all inclusive they serve drinks and snacks by the beach too. The food was pretty much the same every day.

Bad Business, Old hotel

RUN! I’ll claim my mistake. I arrived a day early and thought that the night was booked. I stayed on the phone with Expedia for an hour while they tried to talk the hotel into sliding my reservation back a day. The hotel wouldn’t budge. They did happily sell me a room for $223 for that night. I actually stayed in that room all 3 nights. Management had the Opportunity to DO THE RIGHT THING and failed. That’s poor business Barcelo! This is a predominately Tico resort and me and one other family were the only ones speaking English. Everyone was friendly but the food was awful in the buffets. Beans and cheese were dried over on the top. Glad I paid for premium level and had some food to eat there. It would be well worth paying another $200 a night to go to a nice All-Inclusive. Don’t waste your time on this dated place. I hope this honest review will cost you that $223 dozens of times. It wouldn’t have cost you a single thing to do the right thing and help me move my reservation.

The grounds and location are amazing. Tambor beach is very beautiful. Best to go during low season. We went during high season, the hotel was full and they didn't have enough staff to manage it all and it was really noisy. The entertainment was very loud and on top of that many of the guests brought their own music and would play it really loud by the pool. There were long lines to get drinks. During meals it was hard to get drinks as well as there were very few waiters for the amount of people dining. Our room was spotless. A lot of wildlife around which is really enjoyable. It was a mixed feeling visit as there were things we loved and others not so much.

You get what you pay for

I want to start with the positive and that´s the staff, they were all so friendly and hardworking trying to be everywhere and make sure everyone is comfortable. The hotel grounds are well maintained, clean and beautiful green outdoors. Now for the rest, not so positive, if you are looking for a very cheap all-inclusive then this is the hotel for you. The food was awful for the most part, the highlight was the fresh fruit and veggies but the rest eww nope! Cleanliness was the biggest issue, our room was very below standard and other common areas were extremely disappointing. Paying for a "premium or superior" level room not recommended, you don´t get any benefit from it, don´t waste your extra $50-$60 for nothing. Overall if you are looking for a low fee and are not concerned about high cleanliness and stale, cold food then this is the place for you :) good luck!

Do not waste your time here

Got to Barcelo Tambor and first impression was not good, I waited 1 hour to be checked in, but I thought this is not the end of the world I can manage to still have a good time, we got to the room and found the floors wet ,I thought it was condensation from the air, we set up the room and went to have lunch to come back fee hours later to a wet floor again, I called the front desk and they send a lady to dry the floor and another person to let me know the air had been fixed but the condensation still happening, I asked to have the room changed since all carpets were wet and they did, so I picked up the bags and moved to another building on the opposite side of the hotel, set up my bags again and went to enjoy the show to then come back and find no hot water, no towels and no phone to call the front desk, I got dressed and went back to the front desk to ask for the hot water to be fix only to find out there was not hot water on that building either so I was asked to move rooms again, I asked to talk to the manager but he was too busy to attend to me, so I went back to my room to wait to be changed again to another room in the same building that was wet witch I refused ,so they changed me to a building behind the reception and upgraded my room, I was recieved by a guard that said this happened several times today, on my way I talked to a lady that had rented over 10 rooms for a wedding and they all had the same problem. The hotel is in a rural área, no much to do around

This resort could have used an update years ago. The web site does not mention anything about having to pay $12.00 a day for wifi which is ridiculous. There is also an additional charge of $20.00 for lost towel keys. The food was also not up to standards. I would never in good faith recommend this resort to anyone.

High Quality All-Inclusive

A beautiful, clean and comfortable all-inclusive. Access to the beach is great and it’s a Long Beach area to enjoy walking. The pool and bars are clean and the service is very good. The buffet is ample and a nice variety of food. The espresso machines were not so reliable and if you don’t get up and in line for 8am booking you cannot get into any of the two restaurants for dinner. It did not matter to us though as the buffet and snack bar area was adequate. Music and activity every night for entertainment. The room was big and very clean with great water pressure for the shower.

Worst hotel experience we have ever had. Checkin time on website says 3:00 pm; we were allowed into room at 4:00. A minor inconvenience. When we entered the room there were no towels. We reported this to the cleaning staff, who said they would fix this right away. We went to the pool and came back to the room several hours later, only to find no towels. We reported this to the front desk, who said they really had no idea how long getting towels to us would take. There was a whole stack of towels close by, for people using the pool. Apparently they could not be given to us; we had to report our case to client services. When we did so, after over an hour of waiting we were finally given towels from the pool. And in compensation for having to wait so long for them, we were told that we would get vouchers for lunch the next day (we were checking out and so did not have access to lunch), which we could pick up from reception in the morning. Of course, when we went by reception the next morning, they said they could do nothing about the vouchers and we would have to talk to client services. Except that person was busy and it took two hours of standing in line just to get the vouchers. End result, we spent over 3 hours in line just in order to get our towels and vouchers. And all client services could say was "we're sorry". Dishes were dirty at every meal (food stuck to them). The bathroom in our room was dirty. We've had much better experiences in 2-star hotels.

The all inclusive concept which sounds nice when you have young kids becomes a nightmare when what you get is finally very poor food quality (even the fruits..), noisy swimming pool with all day long machina music and people drinking inside the pool, and in addition dirty rooms and nothing really for the kids. Conclusion: escape!

The room smelled and was not cleaned properly. The pool closed at around 6pm. We weren’t notified about reservation requirements in order to eat anywhere in the hotel when we got there, the pool attendant was the one to inform us around 7pm (when it was too late).

I reserved one room with a king size bed and was given a room with two full-size beds. When I requested a different room they told me my reservation was only a request but was not guaranteed of something that I would get. After a long discussion they gave me a room with a king size bed.

The booking was specifically made to accomodate 4 seniors...we even confirmated it after. They gave my 90ish year old grandfathers non-accesibily room. When asked they mention they were (bathtub for a 90 year old? He couldn't shower, fortunately only 1 night). The unwilling to help staff its what matter the most. Food ok. Bedding ok

Please read** My experience was less than ideal. The hotel is located about 4-5 hours away from the San Jose airport. Although the hotel does offer transportation for a fee, the fee is significantly higher than the actual price it takes to transfer. So, do not use their service. The food is deplorable. It is the same thing everyday. It is presented, cooked and tastes poorly. The only decent restaurant is the steakhouse, but it requires a reservation (eligible after a 2 night stay). The problem with that is that there is no limit as to how many people one person is allowed to reserve for! So, one person can reserve for 20 people and no one says anything and the restaurant becomes fully booked. The checking-in staff was also very unpleasant. The Wi-Fi was down, after I paid for it, so when I went to go to explain it to them - they didn't believe me. The employee had to go around and ask (took 30 minutes of me standing there) to verify that I was not lying, so rude. There were many other instances, but too many to list. The only pleasant staff was the ones working at the bar at night. The shows were also not at all 'multi-cultural' as they were not even remotely reflective of the cultures they attempted to depict. The location is also very excluded. The hotel does not have any surrounding tourist areas. The beach is unkempt and the chairs are old and uncomfortable - not at all like the pictures. I sincerely do not recommend this hotel.

Nice all inclusive. More hit than miss.

The hotel grounds are beautiful. Service was average for an all inclusive in the price range. The buffets for all meals were very good. The restaurants that require reservations were well below expectations. We stayed in room 517. The room could use some TLC, but overall I would recommend the hotel if you can find a good deal on it. Lots of natural wildlife around. Good tours with helpful staff

Blah and blah

Property and service were mediocre at best. Paid WiFi, food was not good, but if you don’t make a reservation at one of the two a-la-carte restaurants by 10AM you are stuck with standard buffet for 400-500 (not too appetizing). Lots of other issues too long to list, but would definitely NOT go back. Very pretty and grounds were well kept. A/C in rooms was either so cold you need a sweatshirt or when comfortable the condensation on the floors made them dangerous (I slipped and fell and hit my head and elbow on the tile floor-Not Good)

Beautiful beach front resort

I loved this resort I had not been there in over 19 years since I was 16 and it was even better than I remembered. The resort, the pool and the beach were all beautiful BUT what I loved the most was the diversity of guest Costa Rican locals, Canadians, Europeans and people from the U.S.. I loved the fact that I went to a Costa Rican resort and did not just have to hang out with other people from the U.S. The local food served in the all inclusive was awesome, not spicy and very flavorful. They also have a bird sanctuary with beautiful and very colorful birds. The Resort staff were kind and helpful, will definitely be back soon and the price compared to other resorts was awesome!!!
