Barceló Tambor - All Inclusive
Bahia Ballena, Playa Tambor, 60101 Tambor, Costa Rica – Great location - show map
This resort was a humongous, beautiful tropical oasis in the midst of dry season. You could see they worked hard to maintain the property. I liked the proximity of my room to the beach. There was an abundance of food options throughout the day, and so many activities to keep you entertained, whether it was a little dance class or a walk through their bird and butterfly sanctuaries and horse stables. I was impressed with the quality of the evening show and the dancers who gave their all with different routines each night and the sound team that was on point with the lighting, and comical use of sound effects. And the live music band was top notch! The resort covers such a large portion of the beach so that it feels private, even through its actually a public beach. I'm learning Spanish, and even the more adept English-speaking staff accommodated my desire to practice, which was nice! Overall, it was a very positive experience!
