Castillo Tambor Resort & Restaurant is a unique stone villa nestled in the jungle near the ocean, in the Tango Mar luxury district. All rooms are private, with a private bathroom/shower, TV and air conditioning. Relax by the pool with a cocktail after a day at the beach. Castillo Tambor is ideal for a holiday, weddings, birthday parties, family gatherings and private events. There are 9 guest rooms – 2 are located on the main floor; 3 guest rooms are in the stone tower (one room on each of 3 levels with stairs; no elevator). 4 additional guest rooms are in the back bungalow. They each have separate entrances, and lockable doors to separate them. One has a small kitchen. FREE WIFI to all rooms. Note that our cellular internet connections MAY be intermittent, as is common throughout rural Costa Rica. Belongings Safes: A safe is available in every room within the main building, but not in the 4 guest rooms of detached bungalow. We provide shuttle services from Liberia and San Jose Airports at competitive rates. Free pick-up and drop-off at Tambor Airport. CAR RENTAL RECOMMENDED. (Attractions, other restaurants, and groceries are available in this rural area, but not within walking distance.) Hotel can arrange for ATV rentals, and taxi. Distance perspectives: There is a restaurant & bar in this hotel, and also at Tango Mar Beachfront Hotel (1.2 mi/2 km). Other restaurants, bars, and a small grocery store in Tambor (3 mi/4.8 km). Larger grocery store in town of Cobano (7 mi/11 km). Beaches: Closest waterfront is at Tango Mar (0.6 mi/1 km). It is beautifully scenic for relaxing on the shore with a mix of sandy and rocky areas, but too rugged for swimming. Nearby Tambor Beach Puntarenas (5.5 mi/9 km) is sandy with gradual depth good for swimming, including children. Major beaches in popular tourist towns: Montezuma (8 mi/13 km), and Santa Teresa (16 mi/26 km).
Welcome to our boutique hotel, Castillo Tambor Resort & Restaurant. We hope that this place can be your home away from home. We moved from Canada to Tambor with our two children and have fallen in love with Costa Rica and all it has to offer. Many recent updates have been made to the hotel since our NEW OWNERSHIP began in July 2022. The restaurant has a new chef and improved menu including Costa Rican dishes; all rooms have new mattresses, pillows, and soft linens. Along with our upgrading of facilities & services, we have made renovations in all rooms, and more excellent business practices have been implemented. We are excited to make your stay with us a beautiful and relaxing experience. Jerrid & Theresa, Owners of Castillo Resort Tambor & Restaurant
