Finca El Tambor has potential, but my experience was mixed and at times unsettling.
When I arrived, no staff were on site to greet or assist me. I was the only guest staying there, which made the place feel a bit eerie. A kind housekeeper (who didn’t speak English) saw I needed help and went out of his way to assist. He eventually connected me with someone who spoke English, and that person contacted the owner, who was able to confirm my room.
To be fair, the owner had messaged me on Expedia with clear directions, but I hadn’t checked my inbox before arriving. That’s on me however, I still feel that someone should have been present to assist guests in person, especially in a remote and unfamiliar area.
The next day, I spoke with the owner, who introduced herself by name and gave me her number. She told me I could contact her anytime I needed anything, and also mentioned that she lives on the property, which was somewhat reassuring.
The surrounding area is very local, and while it’s peaceful during the day, there was loud music and fireworks at night. The room was comfortable, but keep in mind there is no TV, no AC, no heat, and the Wi-Fi was spotty due to the rainy weather. Since the security cameras run on Wi-Fi, they were likely non-functional during those outages, which made safety feel questionable at times.
If you’re on a honeymoon or just want a quiet escape from the city, this could be a peaceful retreat. For solo travelers wanting total solitude, it might work
