“This is a basic hostel. We had our room which contained a bed a small table and a fan. There were two hooks on the wall. We shared a bathroom with the room next door. There were kitchen facilities but we did not use them. Tortuguero is very hot and sticky and we found it hard work. But we couldn't really afford the next step up to finding somewhere with Aircon. Bring enough clothes as nothing dries if you try to wash it.”
“Tortuguero is a typical Caribbean shanty type town. The location is incredible river one side and sea on the other. This property is ideally located for all and not noisy at all.
Leo the nature guide was really good and generally very helpful about guest/transport issues too.”
“A little paradise! The accommodation is basic, but the whole experience is just wonderful! If you’re looking for a pure pura vida experience with a nice family-owned accommodation, you have to go here. The most beautiful garden with all kinds of birds, a nice restaurant along the river, delicious breakfast and lovely dinner (on request) and friendly staff. The owners are so helpful. Willis gave us great advice and he gave us such a warm welcome. And he’s really funny as well ;) When we arrived he told us about the tours, so we didn’t have to look into info for ourselves. The prices of the tours, food and drinks are fair as well!”
“Food is good; hotel room is basic but well designed; very friendly and helpful staff; very close to nature, the night walk is just at the back of the hotel: super clear instructions that eased our arrival logistics.”
“The property was great. Perfectly located within the village. Clean room and facilities. Many hammocks around to unwind in. The locals are super friendly. Vicky next door is a real gem! We can’t wait to go back”
“Phantastic location in the middle of the rain forest. Pure nature, which was very welcome. Surprisingly we also had some tours included in the booking, which was not known, but of course much appreciated.”
“Excellent central location. Friendly & efficient staff, beautiful dock with view of the river for the included breakfast. Price is reasonable. We took two night tours with the fantastic in-house guide Luis; he was very knowledgeable and on several occasions spotted animals that other groups had missed, a real asset to the hotel!”
“Very sweet hotel with extraordinarily friendly staff, great star fruit juice, very clean, good air condition (recommended :)), little nice pool and beautiful beach.
Extraordinarily well organized! The hotel sent perfect information about where to park and how to get to the ferry. Both at the Parking lot and the ferry Harbour at tortuguro there were hotel guides to support with payment, directions etc.
It was easy to prebook tours, we liked the kayak morning tour a lot.
Do bring cash.”
