Santa Teresa hotell

Nice place, very clean ,nice beach....great place to kick back. or kick back or relax.

the staff was unbelievably nice, they went out of there way to give you their best service. the hotel had so many things to choose from, you would not be bored at all no matter wat you did. the nightly entertainment shows were fun to watch, they had a kid show earlier in the night, and an adult show right after. the nightly club/bar was so much fun. i am definetly going back for longer. the trip is well worth the money you are paying. you will love it.

Part of going to a new place is the expectation. I believe with the right information in advanced you will LOVE this hotel. The rooms are normal hotel rooms, the grounds are absolutely beautiful. The pool is huge and they have a massive pool for children which never got old on our 5 day stay. The food was very good, breakfast was exceptional. The other meals were good, but nothing spectacular. For every three nights you stay you get 1 night at the steak or seafood restaurant which is amazing. They have LOTS of activities during the day ad a beautiful nature park with horses, birds, alligators, a butterfly farm and sometimes people see monkey's o the property, however we did not. Their are activities for kids which are wonderful, but here is what you need to know. If you just want something fun for your children to do for a change of pace so you can take a swim or go to lunch on the property this would be okay. This is not the kind of program I would be comfortable leavin if your childr...

My family has traveled extensively with our children and this was one of the best trips we've ever taken. I traveled to the Barcelo Tambor Hotel with my 3 teenage children (oldest daughter and husband couldn't travel), and was concerned that there wouldn't be enough to entertain them for 2 weeks. WOW was I wrong, not only does this hotel have plenty to do right on site from the pools, nature trails, horse riding, sea kayaking, exercising room, game area, miniature golf, and so much more but all the adventures that are a short distance away kept us all entertained during the entire trip. There is so much available that there is no way one could be bored, and if you wanted to do absolutely nothing you can stay by the pool or go down to the beach and lay around. There are two people we hired that were both fantastic; Octvio Montero of Tavo Tours ph# 011-506-2845-3180 or crtabo@yahoo.com he took us snorkeling on his boat to Tortuga Island and cooked us a private bar-b-q at the beach - AWES...

Everthing was awesome at Tambor! My Wife and I absoultlely love the place. Not a single problem. Minor the Bellman was very helpful.

The staff at Barcelo are wonderful! Had a great time. Yes, the food is not the best but everything else made up for it. Edwin is wonderful as is Gerald. Would recommend Barcelo. If you go look for Steven on the beach to book your outings. He is great!

For the money, It was a great value. Food at the buffet was good, nicely prepared, and quite tasty. The omlette station for breakfast was great. However, the restaurants left something to be desired. The rooms were adequate, comfortable and clean. The first room we got was in a far corner of the hotel, so we asked for our room to be changed. Being the weekend it was extremely busy with locals who come for a day trip, or for a night or so. They did put us up in a far better room for five of the seven days we were there. The staff was pleasant, and very cooperative. One suggestion: Definately arrange to fly from San Jose airport to Tambor Airport (which is adjacent to the hotel), and back. There are many local airlines, and charters flying to and from. We learned the hard way. We took a taxi from the airport to the hotel, appx $200 each way. However when we got to the Puntarenas, there was only one ferry operating, and it delayed us for 3 additional hours. the whole trip took us 7 hours...
