Set along more than three miles on Playa Tambor and surrounded by the tropical flora and fauna of the Bahía Ballena, lies the all-inclusive Barceló Tambor. The resort, with 402 colonial-style rooms, offers three restaurants that include two à-la-carte dining experiences, three bars, two swimming pools connected by a waterfall, a soak-zone for children, the Barcy club, a nightclub, a spa, and much more. For those seeking a more elevated experience, our Premium Level accommodations offer our best views, unlimited access to our specialty restaurants, priority check-in, and personalized concierge service. From a variety of outdoor activities that include exploring Playa Pochote and Curú National Wildlife Refuge & Hacienda to sunbathing on volcanic sands and enjoying the gentle surf that reflects the beautiful and magnificent blue of the sky, the Barceló Tambor offers the perfect eco-vacation experience.
