I loved my stay here! The room was very clean, the bed comfortable, and there were great free toiletries (including conditioner). Wifi and AC worked perfectly. The shared terrace was the perfect place to relax and listen to the waves. The location was also very good, a bit further away from the main street but you could walk there in a couple of minutes. The beach was right there across a small path and you could hear the waves to the terrace. Booking tours was very easy through them and they were great! The turtle nesting tour was very informative and we had a much smaller group compared to some others. It was truly a highlight! Carmen also shared other tips for the town and was very responsive and kind when I had questions. I would absolutely stay here again!

Super lovely small casa to stay over. The room was spacious, the beds comfy, a lovely terrace, a tap in the garden to clean your walking shoes if necessary. Delicous breakfast, nice small swimming pool to refresh after a hot day. And the most outstanding characteristic: the super friendly staff. They helped to organize all our trips and our transport to Puerto Viejo. Gerard eg is amazing.

The staff were absolutely amazing. Cooper and his team made it the best trip. They gave us great recommendations and they organized a boat trip for us. It was raining when we arrived and they very kindly dried all our clothes for us. They wanted us to have the best experience in Tortugeuro possible. Cooper called us everytime there were cool animals around like Monkeys. We will definitely stay here again.

Wonderful hotel full of character that gives a real sense of being in the jungle. The room had everything needed and it’s very centrally located. the welcome drink and pack was a really kind touch. Lastly, a special mention for the amazing Nehla. She went above and beyond to help me with moving on to my next destination when I had no Visa card (essential!) or cash. Thanks so, so much. I would have been lost without you!!

Portuguese National Park is a wonder.

Portuguese National Park is a wonder. You can't get there by Car, there are no roads. Only by boat 1 hr up river or by plane. You are in the jungle with so many animals. I recommend staying in a lodge away from town, in the secondary forest area. Take a canal boat tour and enjoy the wild life. This is a must see in Costa Rica

I absolutely loved Tortuguero and wish my spanish was better...

I absolutely loved Tortuguero and wish my spanish was better, however, it was easy to do everything with English--I was amazed at how well everyone spoke it! My favorite tour was the early morning canoe tour I booked with Green Tours. It was so peaceful and my guide, Brandon, was excellent! There are some really good restaurants/bars that are reasonably priced. Overall, it was a good time and I'm really happy with how everything turned out. I recommend booking a place to stay ahead of time, as well as the boat ride and return. Book tours once you get to the village. All the local companies are about the same price and a great value! I would 100% love to come back with friends or a partner someday. PURA VIDA!

We arrived by accident on the day of TortuFest, when there was a carnival in the streets, lots of performers and lots of fun: 1.11., highly recommended. It's good to take a morning canoe tour — even if it's raining the whole time you get to see a lot and it's a nice experience — walk through the jaguar trail, and we've seen a bunch of animals on the night walk as well (including a pooping sloth). El Patio is a great restaurant for carribean food, but the little soda right at the docks was also quite nice.

We were not originally going to stop in Tortuguero during our short stay in CR, but are so glad we did! It's not easy to get there, but the journey was most definitely part of the fun! We took a private boat from La Pavona (which cost the same as the public boat but offered to take us all the way to our hotel instead of the main Tortuguero dock). On our first night, we booked a turtle nesting tour from 8-10 pm and watched a momma turtle lay her eggs on the beach. It was incredible. We chose to eat at our hotel across the water instead of in town. It was easier that way. Besides the turtle nesting tour, we also took a hike in the national park with our children. There are other tours we could have taken, but we were satisfied with just watching the wildlife (monkeys) play at our hotel pool. On our boat trip back to La Pavona was memorable -- in that we saw many crocodiles along the river.

I really liked the town, which was tiny.

I really liked the town, which was tiny. We did eat there a couple of times and both times the food was great. I could happily have spent more time exploring the nature, and just chilling at our hotel.

The area is just beautiful. The nature is unique.

The area is just beautiful. The nature is unique. Some take aways: 1 ) use private tours to see turtles, 2) take the “periferica local transportation to commute from tortuguero town to San Francisco ($3), 3) eat at El Patio downtown, 4) take tour to the canals 5) bring good mosquito repellent, 5) bring light rain ciat and rubber boats, 6) bring dark clothing to see the turtles ( non black or dark colirs are allowed)

The location was excellent. Just 5 minutes to the main street of the village. Tortuguero is very unspoilt and authentic. The scenery in the national park is breathtaking. Our hosts Carmen and Angelo, were so very helpful Angelo took us on a canoe safari in the national park, early one morning. He is very knowledgeable and an amazing wildlife spotter. Our room was very tastefully decorated. It looked quite newly refurbished, light and bright The bed was so very comfortable with the best pillows.

The location of the property is great, in the centre of the village and about 5/6 minutes walk from the entrance to the national park. The rooms are basic but spotlessly clean. There’s a great decking area at the back of the hotel where breakfast is served. it’s right on the river and had lovely views. I don’t think the photos do the place justice. The staff are friendly and accommodating and the morning boat trip was one of the highlights of my time in Costa Rica.

Location was great; centrally located in Tortuguero village. Service was really good and great value for money. Very proactive in organizing tours with a great cooperation with Caretta Tours. Would definitely recommend booking the tours via the hotel, because the tours via Caretta Tours are excellent (especially Rubier and Richard!)

For me, one of the most beautiful Hostels in Costa Rica! Beautiful common area, spacious rooms, bathrooms inside the rooms, they made our beds and gave complimentary towels. Amazing smoothies at the restaurant!! The guy from the restaurant lend me his umbrella, which I much appreciate!!

The locaion. The sound of the ocean and the birds make you feel OK immediately at Costa Rica. There is a relaxing vibe throughout the (small) archipel From the parking lot to the arrival you are followed carefully byt the staff. Food is OK and affordable for such a tourisitc hub.
