We felt very welcomed at Tamala, all the staff were friendly and obliging. Out room was spacious, with a swim up pool and ocean view. We stayed half-board, and although there was a buffet breakfast, for dinner our options were limited to the a menu at the bar, this was possibly due to us visiting in shoulder season, although this wasn't explained and had we know before arrival we may have chosen not go half board. Especially because one of us was a vegetarian so options really were very very limited, and often vegetarian items listed on the menu were not available at all, this was passable for a couple of nights but any longer and we wouldn't have had to go elsewhere.

This place is beautiful but I must warn you they have a rat 🐀 infestation. I saw many big rats eating leftovers from plates left outside guest doors. It horrified me going in out of my room. Even in broad daylight the rats 🐀 come out. Its too expensive of a hotel to have rats. I had one of the most expensive rooms a few months ago and the rats just T'd me off. The staff acts as if its normal and ok but its not.

Very close to being perfect, but a few final touches are missing which prevents me giving 5 stars. Rooms were large with fantastic air conditioning, but everyone in our group experienced some minor issues including rain water flooding, broken windows or damage to walls and fittings. Nothing unsafe, nothing worth shouting about, but it prevents a perfect rating. Staff were friendly and spoke varying degrees of English, however restaurant service was slow and highly variable depending on your server! On the subject of the restaurant and bar, common items like diet coke were unavailable for my entire stay - again preventing 5 stars. That said the food that was available was decent enough and fairly priced. Reception were wonderful and I can't complain about anything there! The beach was accessible and felt safe, even going for an early morning run without any staff around. The pool was big and a very nice temperature, unfortunately one day it was covered in dead bugs which made swimming unpleasant and a regular net clean every few hours would make a huge difference, but was still enjoyable on the other days and probably would have been cleaned if I'd asked. WiFi was excellent. Housekeeping fantastic and thorough, even folding my dirty laundry I'd left on the floor! Overall a lovely stay, and so close to being amazing. All that said it's probably still the best in the area, having looked at others.

What a Wonderful B-day Trip at Tamala Resort! Any issues that came up the staff was ready and willing to remedy. Lots of smiling faces ready to make your stay both pleasurable and memorable. My only complaint is that the rooms have no amenities and could be updated. With that information I believe your choice would still be a great one!
