    What a gem.

    What a gem. We had three nights here but in hindsight could have done two (a lot of people just do one). Two nights gives you a chance to soak up the atmosphere and explore the village from end to end. It was an experience getting there - a 1hr boat trip (which can be longer depending on the water levels). On arrival we were surprised at the number of bars and restaurants - a huge variety. Many on the waterfront and how wonderful to have no cars. Our hotel met us at the wharf and transferred our luggage. The hotels are right amongst the locals houses - so you really get to know the village and can hear all the 'goings on'. Just walking around you see the houses, some of the challenges living there, the flora and fauna. We did a motor boat tour at 9am - would recommend doing this at 6am as the forest wakes up. Its amazing on the water - seeking the birds close up, camen, monkeys and iguanas. You will see more animals on a tour of the forest but its still worth the experience. The motor boat tour includes national park entry - but I would recommend using a guide in the park as despite what you think its really hard to spot animals without the 'experienced eye'; and of course its their livelihood. I also did a night tour - there were a lot of other night tours - we walked along the route to the airport so it didn't feel super secluded - but we did see an armadillo, spiders, a snake, sloth and an iguana. Just goes to show nature is all around us - but again I would never have seen it without the experienced guide. Overall its quite an experience and would suggest Tortuguera is a 'must have' on a Costa Rica itinerary.

    Loved the fact that the boat dropped us off at the hotel's dock and picked us up here as well. Checkin was a breeze but make sure you have the cash to pay for the room and any tours. Canoe/boat tours, day hikes, night walks were arranged by the hotel in advance for very nominal rates. The tours start right at the hotel and hence very convenient. The hotel sits on the banks of the river and the views are lovely especially during dusk and dawn. We experienced torrential rain one afternoon and during the night. The rain in the afternoon did not last long. The canals are accessible by boat, canoe and kayaks. Tortuguero is laid back and a nice place to wind down and experience time float by. Great place to see Great Green Macaws fly by during dawn and dusk. We also saw the last of the turtle hatchings make their way to the sea. Wonderful sight to experience. The town and beach are easily accessible. The canals are teeming in wildlife. We saw green basilisks, iguanas, jacanas, toucans, caimans, herons and monkeys (howler, spider and capuchin). On the night walk we saw frogs (Savage's bullfrog, red-eyed tree frog, some snakes, and a sloth at close range. The hotel staff were nice. The free breakfast was an added bonus. Laundry service was available for a fee. The town was easily accessible by foot. Local food at the sodas was fulfilling. Overall a wonderful experience!

    It was like going to the Amazon River and experiencing wildlife and diversity. It was a multi cultural place with a taste of how locals villagers live , ocean access, river access and the best part is watching conservation of turtles. Turtle night tour is a must do!!?

    Town was better than pictured.

    Town was better than pictured. Walking to everything is easy. Favorite restaurants were Miss Miriams next to the football field and Budda Cafe overlooking the river. Went on three turtle tours and the canoe tour. All great. Used Tuanis Tours for 2 turtle and canoe and Leonardo for private turtle tour. Grocery store carries beer and liquor at reasonable prices.

    The Tortuguero area is considerably different from the rest of Costa Rica. Isolated from land transport, all access is done either by boat or plane. Opt for the boat if you can. It's cheap (around 8000 colones round trip from La Pavona), and despite being on a public transport you'll have a tour experience. The trip can take up to 1,5 hours, with safety conditions guarateed (life vests) and you'll be winding through the florest canals until you reach the Tortuguero sandbar. much like running down the Amazonas, The village is very small but with a great ambient of friendly people (general fact in all CR) with plenty of options for food/drinks, accomodations. Tortuguero life runs around sightseeing (National Park, turtle tours, and cannoeing in the canals). At night you'll have plenty of options for sunset and dinning. You're in a protected area for marine turtles and the mindset is all around that. Forget about bathing in the river or the beach, as one it's inhabited by crocodiles and the other with bull sharks,

    Enjoyed the boat ride into Tortuguero from the docks at La Pavlona. Boat driver stopped to show us a crocodile in the water. The town of Tortuguero is interesting and its people welcoming. It is basically a main walkway just inset but along the water backed by a small community with a subdued caribbean vibe. We were very comfortable there. We wanted to go on a canoe tour and a guided tour of the rainforest but hadn't booked anything. There is a tour desk at the dock we were let off on but didn't give us specific info on tours. we reached out to Tuanis Tours and Jewwy our guide came right to us at our hotel and arranged both tours for us. He was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed our canoe trip immensely. Saw alligators, herons, snakebirds, monkeys, bats, iguana. The same afternoon, another Tuanis guide took us through the rainforest and spotted poisonous dart frog, a sloth, several types of Jesus Christ lizards, gorgeous plants and flowers. He was amazing. The restaurants we ate at were all good food and value. We ate at El Patio twice. Standout was Taylor's Place. While more expensive than the others, this restaurant is truly different. the evening was absolutely enchanting, food and wine better than some 5 star restaurants in N. America. I really wanted to go but when i called for reservation they said their machines were down and could only accept cash. We had forgotton there is no working ATM in Tortuguero. Fortunately, there is a place where you can get some cash (for a fee) in a shop across from Grocery store. I was a happy girl. You don't need much while you are here. I was pretty embarrased to take heavy luggage with me on the boat to Tortuguero.

    The area is really nice. Tortuguero is a beautiful very small town. Maybe don’t stay longer then 3 days. The Hostel has a nice garden area and the cutest kitten on earth. The kitchen is not in good shape. I don’t get all the really bad frying pans all over Costa Rica. I saw in the supermarket their only cost around 20$… anyways, it was possible to cook. We did the Canoe tour with Israel and he is a super guide. we saw lots of animals and he explained a lot. Best tour i did. so far in CR.

    Best Accommodation in Costa Rica so far! Besides everything was super clean, the shower was perfect with high pressure and hot water. We had a very nice terrace with hummingbirds, iguanas and lots of other birds. All in all the room was very spacious and comfortable. The lady at the reception was also very nice and helpful by booking tours and create an account for the park entry (also in english)

    Location was fantastic - a short walk to the beach and path to Tortuguero town. This is the main reason we chose this hotel, and we're really glad we did. Room was a great size and lovely and clean. Food was lovely, and Jorge, our main waiter, was fantastic. Pool area, cafe & pool were all lovely. Grounds were beautiful and the guided walk with Angie was fantastic. The boat tour was also great.

    Great place in Tortuguero near the village centre. Right on the beach. Staff is suuuuper friendly! They have a great service with a tour guide who picked us up at the dock and brought us to the hotel, explained us about things to do in Tortuguero and helped us book a tour. The rooms are nice and even had warm water. Great value for money.

    Great location and great view. The hotel also had cold AC which was imperative for August. I think the hotel was a bit nicer than what pictures show. This is a no frills hotel, what you see is what you get. The bed was firm, but decently comfortable. There is a cute cafe on the first floor that had good coffee and pastries.

    Very well located: next to the beach, close to the 'village' and national park. Ideally to start discovering Tortugero national park. I would say that the hotel, compared to other buildings in Tortugero, is relatively well maintained. It's probably one of the better options in Tortugero. The pool was nice to refresh!
