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.

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.
