"Ylang Ylang embodies Costa Rica’s motto - “Pura Vida!” The property is stunning - right on the ocean and surrounded by lush tropical trees, plants and flowers. It is clean, quiet and extremely well-maintained with meticulous attention to detail throughout. The restaurant has incredible fresh, delicious meals. The staff are amazing - warm, friendly and very welcoming. We loved our stay at Ylang Ylang and hope to be able to return one day. "

"What an amazing little piece of paradise! What to choose when waking up in the morning? Pool? Beach? Both? The house was great and had everything that we needed, kitchen was really well stocked, tons of towels, hot water (between 7am-10pm), comfy king beds plus a queen air mattress. The area is not very touristy, safe and quiet, lots of locals around and the beach is pretty quiet, although busier during the Christmas/New Years week, but never crowded. The water is very swimmable with fun waves. Beautiful sunsets! Local macaws and iguanas come to visit. There is a nice restaurant (Costa Linda) 600m (7minute walk) away. There is space to park the car inside the gate and the main road is paved, the last little bit is gravel. Hoyt is an amazing host, so very responsive and helpful. Any questions, simply ask and he will get back to you very promptly. Definitely recommend!"

"Beatiful views. Amazing pool. "

"Everyone was great especially Steven the Bartender "

"The whole experience was exceptional. Staff were warm, friendly and helpful. A relaxed vibe to the hotel which perfectly matched the area. Clean, well maintained and comfortable throughout. Breakfast was fresh and made to order. It was delicious! We saw so much wildlife around the grounds of the hotel, monkeys, birds, reptiles. The beach is a short walk away and felt a safe place to visit and was clean. I would definitely stay again. "

"Excelente servicio. Habitación e instalaciones impecables. "

"The place was nicely quiet, everyone was so nice. The only negative was the road getting there. So is all of Costa Rica. The staff were very friendly, ocean & beach great. We loved it!"

"The location was perfect — with easy access to Curú Park, Santa Teresa, and Montezuma. Cóbano was just a few minutes away, offering great supermarkets and an ATM, which made things very convenient. The resort itself was beautiful, well‑kept, and thoughtfully landscaped. The pool was magnificent; we swam multiple times a day, including refreshing evening swims. Staff members Emy and Andrea were wonderful — welcoming, attentive, and accommodating throughout our stay. Food at the hotel was delicious, and breakfast was included, which was a great touch. We also loved discovering a few local sodas within walking distance — each one was amazing and added to the authentic experience. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back. Tambor Tropical offers a blend of comfort, hospitality, and easy access to nearby adventures that makes it a standout choice in the area."

"Beautiful villas with the most beautiful view. The pool is magical, the patio areas the perfect place to look out on the ocean. The villas themselves are large and comfortable. Kitchens had everything we needed to make a meal. Highly recommend. "
