We had an amazing stay at the Tamarind, enjoying the beautiful oceanfront view and spacious accommodations. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making our experience even better. The beachfront is lovely; however, we did find the dining options to be satisfactory but not exceptional. Overall, the resort is charming, but some areas show signs of wear and could use updates.
