Situated 300 metres from Tortuguero Beach, Natural Experience House offers accommodation with a patio, as well as a garden. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and full-day security, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The guest house has family rooms.

The hosts, Oscar and Karen, were superbly welcoming and friendly. Our favourite stay in all of Costa Rica! Quiet clean rooms with comfortable beds, individual A/C in our room, private bathroom and good shower. Safe and private. Well-equipped kitchen and a delightful covered patio to relax. We spotted a variety of birds, iguana, and a far off monkey from there. Easy walk to stores, restaurants, the boat dock, and the Tortuguero National Park. Oscar has his on boat with a quiet trolling motor, and he gave us an early morning boat tour of the National Park canals. He’s wonderful guide at spotting wildlife- many birds, spider monkeys, caiman, lizards.

    Fantastic location in the middle of the stunningly beautiful finca.. Incredidbly welcoming people too, Tati and Marisela (sorry if I’ve got those names slightly wrong 😂) are such lovely hosts. I recommend everyone to leave the world behind and come and stay here for at least a night or 2.
