Review: "¡Quiero agradecer enormemente la calidez y amabilidad de don Macedonio y su hijo! A pesar de algunos pequeños contratiempos logísticos a la llegada —como una breve espera porque la reserva no estaba lista de inmediato—, su disposición para hacerme sentir bienvenido fue excepcional. Lo más lindo fue que, mientras terminaban de limpiar y preparar la habitación, tuve una conversación de lo más grata con don Macedonio; me contó historias de cómo se fundó el pueblo y las peripecias de los..., by MARIO

Review: Great place to stay for a few nights and chill. Enjoy the great, clean hotel and nice pool with the shaded areas that you need in this climate. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The food and drinks are superb and I would try anything on the menu with complete confidence. Prices are sensible and compare very favourably with other hotels in Costa Rica. I hope we can visit again!, by Anonymous traveller, 1 January 2024, rated 10/10 Excellent
Review: Its not as luxurious as it says . The rooms are very dark and dated , need extra touches such as slipper and dressing gowns , high quality toiletries. The bed is way to high , Im 165cm tall but still needed a step too get up. No TV in the room. It needs to upgrade with the times , i. Im sure other hotels locally are more modern and up to date. Especially as the beach is massively disappointing, its dirty with ocean rubbish not just drift wood but from boats etc . The hotel needs to offer a wow..., by Sarah, 15 September 2025, rated 8/10 Good
Review: My wife and I spent our 25th wedding anniversary vacation here in January. We had the most wonderful relaxing week possible. We flew from London to Madrid for a couple of days then on to San Jose and finally Sansa Air to Tambor. Weather was incredible and Tango Mar hotel was divine. Perfect beach, palm trees, hardly anybody on it. Bliss. Food was excellent, and I thought reasonably priced which was good because we hadn't hired a car so we intended to just lay in the hammocks that are tied to the..., by Olly and Donna, 4 February 2015, rated 10/10 Excellent
Review: I can't recommend this hotel enough – I spent 3 nights here and loved every minute. Everything was perfect – super location, a clean, serene room with a balcony to sit out on and watch all the wildlife... Delicious breakfast and food in the restaurant (and at the moment all the football matches projected on the wall!) ... Every member of staff was kind and helpful... And so many nice touches: the lovely yoga in the open air studio... freshly baked cake every afternoon... and a to-go breakfast on..., by Elizabeth, 3 July 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent
Review: Smart hotel with excellent customer service in a very good location in Santa Theresa. Lovely pool area and good choice of breakfast., by David, 21 January 2024, rated 10/10 Excellent
Review: Really loved staying here and would highly recommend it. Everything was great, the grounds and location are amazing right on the beach. The breakfast was really nice, rooms aren’t massive but have everything you need and are clean and comfy and the staff were all really friendly and helpful. I only had a tiny 2wd car and Casa Cecilia was easily accessible along the road in Santa Teresa with this (was in dry season though, maybe would need 4x4 in wet season). Overall I would highly recommend..., by Matthew, 1 April 2025, rated 10/10 Excellent
