I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights in February, and was very disappointed. The food was TERRIBLE. We had to go out every night for dinner, skipped lunch, and barely ate breakfast. Every taxi ride into the nearby towns (Montezuma and Santa Teresa) cost at least $60 round The roads are unpaved, so if you get car sick it's... More

My wife and I are now home a week and all we talk about is how beautiful and relaxing our stay was at Tang Mar. If you want to be in a place that is away from it all this is the place. Our room looked out onto a very secluded beach, at night we watched the waves bioluminese blue/green... More

We drove from Playa Samara, which took about an hour longer than expected as the dirt road over the mountain was longer than anticipated... no problem though as a typical rental car (not 4 wheel drive handeled it well enough). Rooms were nice and clean in the building that was closest to the beach. I can understand the reviews for... More

Upon arrival the place looked nice. Nice lobby & restaurant area. There is a pool table but it is pretty worn out and the pool cue's are a little bent so if you enjoy pool, you will be disappointed. The beach is great and the water is warm. The rooms were clean but they do have an issue with red... More

We stayed one night at this hotel and it was a full day of adventure, only because we wanted to explore. Has access to 1 of 10 water falls that goes directly into the ocean (able to walk to it from the hotel), golfing, horses, lots of quiet beach time lying in a hammock or sitting by the pool. Pools...

We had been to Costa Rica for our Honeymoon and stayed in tango mar. One of the best hotels to stay in this country. Very friendly people and very good service. the beach facing setting is wonderful and gives a very tropical feeling. there are lots of activities that you can do close by and the hotel schedules package tours...

We stayed 5 nights at the Tango Mar and loved it. We were prepared to be away from everything and didn't care to do much more than walk the beaches and trails, and relax! The room was lovely, right on the beach with a great deck, and the bed was very comfy. The staff was very friendly, and the food... More

We stayed at Tango Mar for 3 nights and it was too long. We knew it would be far from everything but we didn't appreciate how poor the road conditions are. In addition the price of transfers if you don't have a car is $60 for a round trip to anywhere decent. The gravel roads in the resort make even... More

This was our 2nd stop while in Costa Rica. We came from the very beautiful region of Arenal. After a 5 hour car drive we finally arrived at Tango Mar. To be honest we were a bit disappointed. We were under the impression that our Tiki Hut was on the beach because at the time we booked the trip that... More

This hotel is located in a very nice beach. However surrounding areas are not the best in Costa Rica. We stayed at garden suites. It is a bit of a walk up from downstairs restaurant and beach, but the looks from up there are very good, especially to sea. Room had large bed and jacuzzi, probably room would benefit not... More
