Rooms are nice and the AC works great to keep the room cool. It would be nice to have use of beach chairs/umbrellas…. need to rent from nearby places. Restaurant attached to hotel has excellent food! Staff also excellent. Free parking provided in lot across from hotel. Overall, great place to spend a few days at the beach!

The beach is beautiful directly in front of hotel. We wanted to love it but found it lacking. No conditioner, the pillows were hard, the bedside lamps were too dim to read by. It was explained that the water system was solar but we never had hot water over a 2 night stay.

The location is perfect. Boutique hotel on the beach. Small room but modern and comfortable. The office staff is very helpful, especially Amanda.
The restaurant is on a deck facing the beach with an excellent service and good food. Prices are reasonable.
Unfortunately they do not offer breakfast.
We had a great time and will be back!

The staff was good but didn’t go above and beyond at all, like explain to me where things were or could be found beside the PDF that was emailed. The room was fine. A woman pounded on my door at 1am trying to get in. Woke me up out of a dead sleep. She couldn’t figure out how to check in and thought my room was her room. I had to assist her and give her the number to reception after hours. That was startling. Maybe some sort of deterrent for that happening again. Overall a great place to stay. Solid. No breakfast but there are two places nearby.

The location is fantastic, right on the beach! However I would not recommend this hotel for a quiet vacation - the bar and restaurant play loud music all day and though the hotel says they have quiet hours after 10pm, there was loud music playing until 11pm every night, and some nights to 3am. We also had issues with our room - we booked an upgraded room and were placed in a very small room right next to the bar with no window. Other guests in our group booked lower priced rooms that were larger, quieter, and with outdoor areas. The staff apologized but didn't do anything to address the error.

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.

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 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.

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.
