- Nathan Allen (10/5): - The food the people it was all perfect
- Michael (10/5): - Tamboo’s location on the beach and right next to surfboard rental is why I’ve gone there twice. Staff is super friendly and helpful.
- Dixon (10/5): - Great spot for surfers.
- Lisa (10/5): Caribbean Paradise - Absolute paradise! Wonderful for a couples retreat. Friendly staff, from the security guard to the office staff, to the bartenders and waitstaff. Beach access at your doorstep. Can’t wait to return.
- Bruce (10/5): Great location, quiet surf area near rincon - Great location near the beach great beach to swim or surf. Nice little area quiet several little places to eat breakfast lunch and dinner short drive to downtown recon
- Colleen (10/5): - This was the coolest little spot! My husband and I went here to surf/relax and it did not disappoint. This boutique hotel was awesome. The room was so cool!! The shower was super nice, the bed really comfy, it was a perfect unique getaway. I would definitely recommend this spot. So cool!!!
- Timothy (10/5): Tamboo a well recomended place! - We loved our room! A very considerate place! Music stops by 930pm. Food was amazing! You have it all in one place! Food, bar, pool & beach! Stall was very friendy! If we asked for so.ething we got it! ASAP. We will be back! Thank you tamboo!!
- Rachael (8/5): - Staying here was lovely and convenient. Unfortunately our room shared a wall with the kitchen so there was a lot of noise from that. Also noise from local bars with non-local music wasn't ideal but that's out of their control. Otherwise it was enjoyable!
- Sabrina (8/5): Enjoyed our stay - Great location, right on the beach. Nice room, pool right outside the door and restaurant/bar on the property (lunch and dinner several days per week.) well-equipped room, but a little disappointed that no beach chairs or umbrellas were provided or even available from the hotel. We were able to rent two chairs and an umbrella from a service a short distance down the street, but that added $25 per day. Also, the hotel WiFi needs work; it is spotty, depending on the time of day and where you’re located. On the whole, we were happy with our stay and would return, but a few little improvements would make it great.
- Kayla (10/5): - Wonderful stay at Tamboo! First time and Puerto Rico and already wish we could go back. Clean, safe, private room with parking. Excellent food and drinks! Right on the beach! Highly recommend.
- Michael (10/5): - Great location on the beach. We had one of the small rooms, but it was nice. Very clean and friendly, helpful staff. Good restaurant and bar on site. Walking distance to other restaurants. We highly recommend the Tamboo.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great beachfront location and restaurant - Bed very comfortable. Room small for two. Location at beachfront outstanding. Secure parking and entry. Great restaurant at beachfront. No cleaning service mid stay but they’re happy to exchange towels. Friendly, helpful, kind staff.
- Deborah (10/5): - Unfortunately the restaurant was closed but our room was comfy, had what we needed, staff pleasant, in-touch, and helpful.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great quality and location - The location is really great if you like to be tucked away from downtown Rincon. The beach proximity is also fantastic . The water there can be on the rougher side so perhaps not the best if you aren't a great swimmer but it's still just a short drive to many other beaches. Restaurant was also excellent, especially the service there.
- Emma (10/5): - This hotel was very cute and has an amazing, one of a kind beachfront location! The check-in process was easy and all staff were super friendly and helpful. The restaurant was great too, with unbeatable ocean views.
- Silvino (6/5): - The quality of the food ingredients ,poor. They need to improve on the menu and the quality of what they serve.
- Fermin (10/5): - Beautiful area.
- Joseph (10/5): - My partner and I love Tamboo, we always stay here when visiting Rincon. The place is spotless the staff is lovely and the restaurants bar and food are delicious
- Michael (10/5): - Tamboo’s staff was friendly and the location can’t be beat for surfing on Sandy Beach. I’ve stayed at three hotels in Rincon and Tamboo was definitely my favorite.
- Lucy Elizabeth (10/5): - Beautiful place right on the beach and the food was excellent!
- Antonio (10/5): - El servicio y amabilidad del personal son EXCELENTES…
- edgar (8/5): - nice place
- Marilyn (8/5): - Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Couldn’t have been nicer. Any issues were immediately addressed.
- Brittany (10/5): - Beautiful beach, loved the restaurant. We had a cute room. I’m sure the Oceanside rooms are even better! Very kind staff. Cute little shop attached with some local handmade jewelry.
- Christian (10/5): - Amazing
- Damarys (10/5): - It was a quaint room. Very clean. Easy location and right on the beach!
- Francesca (10/5): - Second time here & will be back again! Amazing staff amazing place. Thank you for making our stay memorable again !
- Tracey (10/5): A 5 Star Experience!! - We loved Tamboo!! The vibe and comfy room, great staff, restaurant and drinks plus the gorgeous Sandy Beach were amazing. We highly recommend this place for others and we will be back👍👍
- Tara (8/5): Tiny spaces, but big beaches and views! - Great location to beach! Recommend this for a quick stop in Rincon for a couple. Rooms are small, but efficient. Restaurant is the best!!! Sit upstairs at sunset!
- Babette (8/5): - The location, beach, and bar and restaurant are top notch. Very convenient to other restaurants, bars, and sights. There is a nice and secure parking lot across the road from the hotel. Our room was clean and comfortable. The air conditioner works well but it makes a periodic loud humming sound every few minutes that occasionally made it difficult to sleep. We had to request additional t.p. and towels at the front desk, no one came to our room at any time to see if we needed anything. Needs more light in the bathroom and we were disappointed that the restaurant/bar was closed on the last two days of our stay so there wasn't anywhere close to get a drink on the beach on those two days. Otherwise, a very good value and pretty place to stay. The pool is a bit small and cold so we were happy that the beach was so nice and the sea was calm and warm.
- SHEILA (8/5): - We loved the location, right on Sandy Beach and walkable to several restaurants. The staff was friendly and responded to all requests! Our room was small for two adults for a week so we will get a bigger room at Tamboo next time. But we will come back .
- destiny (8/5): - Loved Tamboo! The staff was very attentive and the restaurant was delicious! I totally suggest staying here! There was a problem and it was so quickly rectified it made my head spins! The staff was amazing I can say it enough. Also the location is drop dead gorgeous. If you stay in rincon stay here!
- Martin (10/5): - Lovely location on Sandy beach. Friendly staff. Comfortable room.We enjoyed their restaurant. Awesome view. Nice beach for swimming, relaxing and walks.Breakfast at Jacks a short walk up the road and other dinner options nearby at The Big Kahuna and the Red Flamboyan. Rincon Town a short drive away with lots of fun activities. Brunch at the English Rose and a visit to the lighthouse with Mojitos at bar on site recommended !!
- Vincent (10/5): Tamboo is paradise - Tamboo is an incredible place to stay at. The hotel is small enough to make it feel like it’s all to yourself. Beautiful rooms, friendly staff, security working all day. Safe and enjoyable. Restaurant is delicious. I recommend the tamboo ribs and stuffed pepper. Location is incredible. Only negative thing I have to say is cocktails are a little pricey but will absolutely stay again.
- Carolyn (10/5): - 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.
- Mateo (10/5): - Great place!
- Francesca (10/5): - Great staff very nice & friendly. Nice resort clean & safe !
- Adonna (10/5): - The room was lovely, air conditioner, mini bar, great shower, patio table & chairs surrounded by lush vegetation & geckos & shaded. The grounds beautiful, nice pool, fantastic restaurant &bar & staff. On the beach, amazing view.
- Cristian (10/5): - Great place, friendly staff, parking, right on the beach, quiet family oriented
- Timothy (10/5): - Very relaxing and the staff was great.
- Christina (10/5): - Tamboo exceeded our expectations. The rooms were so cute and cozy! The staff was amazing and you can’t beat the beach access. I give this 10/10 and will definitely be returning!
- Brendon (10/5): - Lovely people, beautiful ambiance and beach. I recommend if you’re looking for a hideout and not a resort.
- Lisa (10/5): - It was located right on the a beautiful beach. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Great bar and restaurant on the premises. Rooms nice and clean. Will definitely stay here again.
- Yilma (10/5): - Me gustaria que hubiera brunch los fines de semana
- Jose (10/5): - Staying at Tamboo was Great, Family Owned and great location. the staff was welcoming and very friendly. Perfect to relax or to hit the waves and surf
- Verified traveler (6/5): 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.
- Paula (8/5): - Tight but we’ll done rooms. Beautiful view of the ocean from the bar/balcony. Staff were all very helpful.
- jessica (10/5): - Amazing stay! Thank you Tamboo! Staff, property, and rooms were all amazing
- arelis (10/5): - Cozy beachfront hotel! The room was super clean!! The view from bar terrace A Plus! Bar service could have been better.
- Ann (10/5): Fantastic small beach hotel! - Great boutique hotel with fantastic location right on the beach and great bar/restaurant. Local coffee shops in walking distance!
- Kelly (10/5): - 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.
- edward (8/5): - Not mnch to do at night.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great hotel, small boutique style hotel, a little gem in Rincon
- christopher (10/5): - Loved our stay.
- Manahem (10/5): - Great place to stay in Rincon! Wonderful communication with the staff! Definitely enjoyed!
- Brittany (8/5): - It was a great stay, would recommend to anyone staying in the Rincón area.
- julia (10/5): - Cozy hotel that is steps from the beach, lovely staff and well located. Highly recommend for a little getaway.
- Tom (10/5): - Tamboo was a great find. For a number of years I frequented another Rincon beach resort but I tried Tamboo and so glad I did. They have a nice little beach which I walked on but was not really able to enjoy because of business. The restaurant was not open when I was there but it looks very nice with all outdoor seating. (Some covered) There are plenty of restaurants nearby. The staff sent me a long text with local options for food, fun, and shopping. The room looked so good. It must have been recently renovated. There is a small jacuzzi which was great after a run. I highly recommend a jog while here. The hills are brutal and provide a great workout. But have water with you. The parking is ample and gated.
- William (10/5): - Great beach front getaway!
- Cristian (10/5): - Excellent location right on the beach, quiet, family friendly, great staff
- Jane (10/5): - Love it!
- Nathan (10/5): - Staff was super friendly and helpful. Gorgeous location. Just a great vibe.
- Brian (10/5): - Beautiful and clean and right on the beach. Awesome stay!
- KARLA (6/5): - No beach towel ($20 if you want to buy one), no full mirror in room, no housekeeping ($15 if you want a refresh per day), the electricity went off the two nights and the sound of the electrical plant was really loud because it was in front puf our room.
- Grace (10/5): - Comfy, clean & well equipped room. Everyone was very nice. My only issue is that the observation deck was closed. I wanted to sit and look for whales. When the restaurant was open it left little to no space for guest to look out to the water. One suggestion is to offer guests the ability to use a chair out on the beach. Thank you for everything.
- Ceciliana M (10/5): - Loved our stay!!
- Reka (10/5): - We loved it!!
- Monica (10/5): - Waterside hotel
- Jill (8/5): - Wonderful beach side resort. Steps away from Sandy beach. Beach bar opens daily at 1pm. Currently, restaurant is open Fri-Sun. The location offers private parking, outside shower, pool, & lounge areas. We stayed in room #5 - a small but comfortable room with a/c, mini fridge. The showers & hot water are very tricky. If the shower is not in the perfect spot it is difficult to get hot water. The staff is lovely, responsive and very friendly. Would stay here again!
- Robert (10/5): - This is a boutique hotel in a quiet beach area of Rincón. The food and beachside view is amazing!
- Carlos (10/5): - We loved Tamboo, the location is perfect, the restaurant is delicious and the area is quiet. The beach was very nice even though the waves can be a little big.
- Nildalisse (10/5): - .
- Damaris (10/5): - The property and location was wonderful. Steps to the beach. The room was clean and decorated nicely. I was quite impressed with the small hotel. I would stay there again because of the intimate cozy setting and proximity to the beach.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Location is prime, views beautiful. Very quaint and inviting ambiance. My room felt clean bed very comfortable. Ac unit on point. Only complaint is shower head points outwardly and soaked floor every time and bathroom sink clogged and slow to drain. Other than that all was good.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Beautiful property with a convenient restaurant but our room was tiny. We literally didn’t have room to have both our luggage’s out ( traveled with my fiancé). The shower only had hot water on the lowest pressure setting so it made washing your hair take way longer and every time the shower ran it leaked into the bedroom area. I really wanted to like this place but it was not a good room. When we told the front desk they were willing to give us another room but it would have been the night before we were checking out. In my opinion this is a place you visit for a drink bc of the view but definitely not stay.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Location is great for water sports and surfing.
