We had a wonderful stay at Jamaica Tamboo Resort. The staff was very warm and friendly and the room and common areas were clean. The AC was cold and the hot water was hot. The coffee shop on site has the best cup of coffee on the island. Highly recommend! Very affordable and excellent value for the price.

I absolutely love this place. This should be called a boutique hotel. It’s close to the beach. It’s calm all through the day or night. You can find the staff. They’re very polite. I definitely will recommend coming here. Views are amazing and everything is basically close by ATM jerk chicken clubbing soup grocery store it’s just really convenient. We’ll see them back before the end of the year.

Camisha and her team are EXCELLENT! If you’re looking for an authentic, laid-back Jamaican experience, Tamboo is the place. just Real & We LOVED it! The lay-out of the property gives you a more home-like feel, not crowded on each other, the rooms are clean, and the beach access is PERFECT. The staff at the restaurant and around the property are always helpful, whether you need local tips or just a hand with something. They are on it, without being intrusive, but available. We will definitely be returning! THANK you for being Great!!
Rooms to the Right. Nice open space for play or whatever
