We stayed in one of the deluxe rooms and had no problems. The room was updated, clean, and the air conditioner was nice and cold. The staff were nice and helpful. It’s steps from the beach, the shopping mall, and many restaurants. All in all, good value for the price.

Great budget hotel steps from the beach

This place is disgusting, the bathroom has mold all over the place, the toilet was broken and the tub was so dirty, old, rusty and moldy, that I chose not to shower because I was afraid to catch an infection. The room have 3 window. One of them is in the bathroom and 2 of them are in the room. The small window in the room face to a different property, however, the 2 small windows did not have curtains. Instead they have pieces of see through cloth which are holding on to the wall with a rusty piece of wire.

Luckily we only spend one night on this hotel.

The staff was nice and respectful. They do have a breakfast and coffee shop that opens too late on my opinion ( they don’t open until 8am). I love that is right off the beach.

My experience on Jamaica Tamboo resort


Lovely hotel right on the beach.  Rooms were spacious and beds were comfy.  The beach is what really makes this hotel, lt really was a one minute walk to the beach which also had free sunbeds.  The staff also made our stay special the receptionist was so helpfulhome f and friendly, Rockie on the bar was lovely and the security man was helpful.  If you want a budget stay in Jamaica, this is the place to stay, very secure also.  The bar/restaurant on site has a good range of meals, could offer more at nightime but you can easily walk a few steps along the beach to the restaurants a few doors away. If you want 5 star all inclusive luxury, this isnt the place for you but if you want a homely reasonably priced home from home, this is the place for you.  Just one tip, bring a hairdryer, they dont have them.

Small and friendly hotel

I really like this place. I only wanted somewhere on the beach, quite with no one bothering me. My kids loved it. My mom and wife had a great time. Best value in Negril on the beach. The most cost effective option in Negril.

Negril Jamaica Vacation

This was a great place to stay staff was very friendly made sure I was comfortable. Air was ice cold and shower was nice and hot. taxi on site if you want to head out. There were some good spots to walk to and get local price for food and drinks. Can't wait till my next stay.

Great hotel right on the beach

So as always my post pertain to places i have stayed in Jamaica. I stayed at Jamaica Tamboo, after having read the reviews and looking at pics. I was slightly disappointed. I did receive a beachfront room closest to the beach, but the rooms were nothing to get excited about, except they were clean. I had no issue with that, HOWEVER i must say these are the hardest beds ive ever slept on in my whole 47 years, i believe sleeping on a pallet on the floor would have been more comfortable. Even so my family enjoyed the beach. The night of our second stay, around 20 young men checked in, in the late evening hours and proceeded to take over the bar and grounds, i did not feel entirely comfortable at that point, as they clearly all were staying in shared rooms,once they started hauling lawn chairs to the rooms to accomodate everyones sleep. This did not make me feel very safe with my young children, as i have stayed at MANY hotels in ja and alot of them are very strict about who stays on the grounds. I decided to take my kids and family for breakfast on our last day, only to be told the menu is limited to bacon, eggs and toast and coffee. Which isnt necessarily conducive to a non meat and egg eater, so we left the property and found breakfast at a different spot. All in all, it was NOT a horrible experience, everyone was nice and friendly. I did have issue with the fact that the room was booked for 4 people, 2 adults and 2 children, yet we were only given 2 towels each day, none for the kids, thank god i had my own. Also at most hotels you have the option to not be disturbed or have maid service in the room. We obviously did NOT know we did not have that option, for when we returned to our room the second day, it had been entered and cleaned. I wasnt very happy about this, as i would have secured my personal belongings. ANyhoo the stay was decent, but i will not return and wouldnt recommend to my friends to stay unless the put a few changes in place.Also the hotel offers free wifi but its horrible, i had to use my mobile hotspot and we were directly across from the office, where the internet is located.

Just No....

The hotel is right in the beach. If you’re looking for an all inclusive it’s not for you, but it’s absolutely lovely. The staff are so hard working and kind, it’s the second time I’ve stayed there and will definitely be back.

Great little higel

This place needs a facelift. I heard they did renovations but I think they missed some rooms. We arrived one evening after a long long flight, and then a long drive from the Mobay airport in traffic ...and we were very disappointed with the room. It looked nothing like the picture... the bathroom was gross and outdated, there were leaks everywhere — it had just rained and they said that it’s common when it rains 🧐 and the sheets looked old and gross.

We complained and decided that we would go somewhere else. The male staff was nice and said he could put us up in another room. The next room was a lot better but still nothing special. The bathroom had been renovated and there was no leaks! To be honest, had I known the place would look like the way it did, I wouldn’t have booked. I’m glad we only stayed for 2 nights.

The beach was lovely and definitely the best thing about our stay there. If you want a beach towel you have to give them a $10 US deposit. My husband said some of the grounds staff seemed a bit, sketchy.... (he’s Jamaican so he knows sketchy)

Anyways, at the end of the day you get what you pay for. We must have paid around $100 CAD/ night.  I think that’s one of the more cheaper rates on the Negril strip. So next time we’ll just spend our money to go somewhere a lot nicer...

We won’t stay here again...

stayed a few nites here, amazing,, newly renovated rooms clean and spacious and affordable
great rates, one of the best hotels to stay on negril beach, close to the town area and nightly entertainment.
restaurant cooks amazing local food
manager n staff great, friendly n helpful

hotel stay

I recently returned from my trip to Tamboo Resort. This place is a lovely quiet  resort that has all the things you need for a good vacation. The staff are pleasant, lovely and are always around to help with what you need.  Upon arrival we were introduced to a clean fresh smelling room with proper bedding and towels. The rooms are basic but they have great AC and very good working HOT water! Hot water is important for me and Tamboo didn't disappoint. The beach is right at your door step and is raked and cleaned each morning by staff. There is a restaurant and bar on site which are both reasonably priced. Another must for me on vacation is the ability to work with my diet..... I am a vegetarian and the team at Tamboo ensured I was taken care of and met my dietary needs! I will definitely  be back to Tamboo.
