My stay at Jamaica Tamboo was quite mixed. While I received a beachfront room that was clean, the bed was incredibly hard, which made it uncomfortable for me. Though the beach was enjoyable for my family, the security concern from a large group of young men checking in made me uneasy, especially with my kids. The breakfast options were limited and not ideal for everyone, and the Wi-Fi connection was really poor, making it inconvenient. I appreciate the friendly staff, but improvements are needed for a better experience.
