We had a wonderful stay at Jamaica Tamboo Resort. The staff was very warm and friendly and the room and common areas were clean. The AC was cold and the hot water was hot. The coffee shop on site has the best cup of coffee on the island. Highly recommend! Very affordable and excellent value for the price.
