Opened in 1994, Tambor Tropical is a beachfront, boutique resort at the end of a short, palm tree lined road on Costa Rica’s tranquil Tambor Bay on the Pacific Ocean. The resort has a wide sandy beach, with shallow and calm waters for swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, fishing, hiking, shelling along with an onsite team to offer additional excursions.

Each morning a complimentary breakfast is served during your stay.
The resort restaurant offers a diverse menu featuring classic Costa Rican dishes and continental cuisine. Fresh ingredients meet fresh fish along with specialties developed by the hotel over the past 25 years. Our open-air dining includes a thatched roof bar adjacent to the pool.
