My special getaway

Love this hotel. It is small therefore very personable..If you are looking for famcy and room service this is not the place for you..If you just want to chill and feel comfortable and stress free..book here..Accommodations are nice..the rooms are clean and of course the sea is beautiful.

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 ❤️

Rude front desk.

I requested a specific room months before checking in. I told them it was my husband's birthday and wanted everything to be perfect. She assured me I had that room and of course when we get there they already gave my room to someone else. Girl upon check in was rude from the minute we walked in. She didn't greet us, she didn't apologize for giving away my room. They could have said sorry, offered a free dinner or breakfast...something. WiFi hardly works if that is important to u. The beach chairs are extremely uncomfortable solid wood. But other than that we had a nice stay. The vibes are nice there's security. It's beachfront. If you can deal with rude staff it's s good value. The shower was great and the beds were pretty comfortable. Nannette the maid was wonderful

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Unfortunately, a very bad experience for our family. So much so that we moved to an alternate resort the following morning. The overall facility was substandard and in disrepair - certainly not as portrayed on the Expedia listing. But the biggest issues related to customer service and comfort. A very large sound system was playing loud bass-heavy music until at least 2-3am. Combined with the uncomfortable beds, this made sleep next to impossible. Worse yet, when approached with this complaint, the staff person was dismissive at best and rude at worst. Very poor customer service overall. Will not be returning and feel we are owed a refund for the second night as we had to abandon this facility early.

I had other amazing stay at tamboo the majority of the staff is so amazing , go above and beyond and r so sweet . The location is perfect and the beach beautiful . My only complaint is one girl i have never seen before who checked me in not very friendly i had another interaction with her and she was again kinda rude as well I was disturbing her then another friend of mine who i have got to stay there with me the last few times last time for a month she went to inquire on rates for an upcoming stay another month and she told her she doesnt know and she should look online so probably lost a customer .

Localização perfeita! Bom custo benefício!

O hotel é simples, mas com o melhor trecho da praia. Chegamos a noite, não havia ninguém na recepção, não nos pediram documento e entregaram a chave do quarto. O quarto estava sujo. No decorrer da estadia o quarto foi limpo sem a nossa solicitação (diariamente) e ficamos satisfeitas com a limpeza (só a primeira noite nos causou uma má impressão). Os funcionários são simpáticos e atenciosos, nos sentimos seguras. O hotel é pé na areia, está localizado no melhor trecho da praia (e eu percorri todas as praias, passando por vários resorts renomados e chiques). Com certeza eu recomento o hotel e ficaria hospedada novamente.
