I had a bit of a mixed experience at Jamaica Tamboo. On the positive side, the cleanliness of the rooms and the beautiful beach were highlights. However, I found the beds incredibly uncomfortable and the limited breakfast options left much to be desired. Overall, while my family enjoyed the beach, I wouldn't choose to stay there again due to several concerns.

I had a decent stay at Jamaica Tamboo, mostly because of the beautiful beachfront location that my family enjoyed. The rooms were clean but nothing special, and I found the beds extremely hard, making it uncomfortable for me. The dining experience left much to be desired, especially with limited breakfast options. While the staff was friendly, the Wi-Fi was terrible, and I had issues with the number of towels for my family. Overall, it wasn't a horrible experience, but I wouldn't go back.

My stay at Jamaica Tamboo was a mixed bag. The beachfront view was stunning and the room, while basic, was clean. However, the hard beds made for an uncomfortable night's sleep. The limited breakfast options were disappointing, and I didn't feel safe with a large group of young men taking over the bar area during my stay. While the beach was enjoyable, I likely won't return to this hotel without some changes in place.
