Great quality and location

The location is really great if you like to be tucked away from downtown Rincon. The beach proximity is also fantastic . The water there can be on the rougher side so perhaps not the best if you aren't a great swimmer but it's still just a short drive to many other beaches. Restaurant was also excellent, especially the service there.

The location, beach, and bar and restaurant are top notch. Very convenient to other restaurants, bars, and sights. There is a nice and secure parking lot across the road from the hotel. Our room was clean and comfortable. The air conditioner works well but it makes a periodic loud humming sound every few minutes that occasionally made it difficult to sleep. We had to request additional t.p. and towels at the front desk, no one came to our room at any time to see if we needed anything. Needs more light in the bathroom and we were disappointed that the restaurant/bar was closed on the last two days of our stay so there wasn't anywhere close to get a drink on the beach on those two days. Otherwise, a very good value and pretty place to stay. The pool is a bit small and cold so we were happy that the beach was so nice and the sea was calm and warm.

Tamboo is paradise

Tamboo is an incredible place to stay at. The hotel is small enough to make it feel like it’s all to yourself. Beautiful rooms, friendly staff, security working all day. Safe and enjoyable. Restaurant is delicious. I recommend the tamboo ribs and stuffed pepper. Location is incredible. Only negative thing I have to say is cocktails are a little pricey but will absolutely stay again.

Located just a few steps from the beach, Tamboo is a clean and extremely hospitable hotel. Being able to text reception, dinner, drinks, clean and relaxing pool, room extremely clean and with very cold AC. Television options were perfect and everything worked easily. Mini bar in the fridge was so convenient when ordering a pizza you’ll have a soda from the fridge for a small charge. Water pressure was great as well and plenty of towels to use. Bed was comfortable and style of room was super cool and beachy.

Tamboo was a great find. For a number of years I frequented another Rincon beach resort but I tried Tamboo and so glad I did. They have a nice little beach which I walked on but was not really able to enjoy because of business. The restaurant was not open when I was there but it looks very nice with all outdoor seating. (Some covered) There are plenty of restaurants nearby. The staff sent me a long text with local options for food, fun, and shopping. The room looked so good. It must have been recently renovated. There is a small jacuzzi which was great after a run. I highly recommend a jog while here. The hills are brutal and provide a great workout. But have water with you. The parking is ample and gated.

Comfy, clean & well equipped room. Everyone was very nice. My only issue is that the observation deck was closed. I wanted to sit and look for whales. When the restaurant was open it left little to no space for guest to look out to the water. One suggestion is to offer guests the ability to use a chair out on the beach. Thank you for everything.

Wonderful beach side resort. Steps away from Sandy beach. Beach bar opens daily at 1pm. Currently, restaurant is open Fri-Sun. The location offers private parking, outside shower, pool, & lounge areas. We stayed in room #5 - a small but comfortable room with a/c, mini fridge. The showers & hot water are very tricky. If the shower is not in the perfect spot it is difficult to get hot water. The staff is lovely, responsive and very friendly. Would stay here again!

Beautiful property with a convenient restaurant but our room was tiny. We literally didn’t have room to have both our luggage’s out ( traveled with my fiancé). The shower only had hot water on the lowest pressure setting so it made washing your hair take way longer and every time the shower ran it leaked into the bedroom area. I really wanted to like this place but it was not a good room. When we told the front desk they were willing to give us another room but it would have been the night before we were checking out. In my opinion this is a place you visit for a drink bc of the view but definitely not stay.

If you are looking for convenience, then the hotel is centrally located. However, the bathroom aside from being tiny, the shower sprays in every direction with no water pressure. This would be mildly tolerable, except we didn’t have one hot shower. We told the staff and a plumber was unavailable for two days. The staff offered a free night in the future for these disappointing conditions. I can’t say I would recommend anyone stay there and it is highly unlikely I would return to that hotel. The staff is only onsite until 6pm daily. They do not provide beach towels, but charge $25 for beach towels. Make sure you make reservations for the restaurant, which is often booked for dinner.
