Very nice place. They had a great restaurant as well. The property had consistent hot water for the showers and clean towels for the pool and beach. The A/C units were a bit too big for our room, so learn your Celsius, put it on a timer and be careful not to freeze yourself.

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.

Toilets suck

The toilets don't work...ours was backed up, we heard our neighbors struggling with theirs, and a sign in the bar bathrooms that say don't flush paper cause their sewer system can't handle it. Kinda gross.
