What’s Special About This Resort
Surrounded by deep verdant valleys and dark gray sand beaches, the Barcelo Tambor is a unique getaway for guests who want privacy and incomparable luxury. Tambor Beach on Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula is nestled in Bahia Ballena, known for its peaceful, calm waters and relative solitude.
What To Do
Aside from hanging by the pool, you can also be more adventurous and try bungee jumping and indoor climbing. The resort also has an enticing entertainment program for children of all ages.
Tambor Beach is also close to Isla Tortuga, so guests interested in snorkeling or diving can check out the vast array of marine life.
Go for the all-inclusive package that includes food and drinks at local restaurants and bars, sports like bungee jumping and kayaking, and all kinds of entertainment. It also gives you access to the Barcy Club, the children’s club where they can play from 9 AM till 5 PM. Click here to find out more about the all-inclusive offer.
What To Eat
Foodies and the gastronomically inclined will be excited with the wide range of cuisines at the resort’s four restaurants. Guests looking to expand their culinary palette will be intrigued by Miyako Restaurant, which fuses Japanese cuisine and the freshest local delicacies.
