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.

Property is a nice property but everything is old dated and dirty. The is bed is old and in a poor condition, the linen on the beds is between stained or have hole in them, bathroom wasn’t cleaned properly, AC is falling down, the television is so small and don’t work and the chef is so rude so we change our mind from eating there. On the positive note they have a beach and it was clean and nice. Wouldn’t stay again

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.
