Not a luxury spot by any means but why go on vacation if you spend your time in the room anyway. The location is excellent. Staff was friendly and nice. Was not packed at all. Almost felt we had the whole resort to ourselves. I have stayed at the Riu Palace up the road for 10X the price and I would much prefer the Tamboo. Chill vibe. Might find small ants in the room and water pressure might not be the best, but get over it and enjoy the island.

Close to the beach, good price, clean, safe, friendly locally owned boutique hotel. If you are wanting a authentic, down to earth experience to Jamaican culture support this local family business. All the live music you could want is in walking distance and security is present if you need assistance. Everyone that works there is friendly and helpful. We are grateful for our stay, thank you ❤️

The place was a great deal price wise. The rooms and staff were great. The one thing wrong we found was that the restaraunts menu was not supported by food availability. But. Steps away to either side of the resort the restaurants are well stocked and reasonably priced.
