Vila di Tortuguero

Frank Jerman

I'm so glad having booked Casa Chilamate 2.0 for 3N which - together with the tours by Arturo from TripsNativos - was THE very highlight of two weeks travelling across CR. Casa 2.0 means there was a new bungalow in a well maintaned garden, equipped with everything one would need including kitchen facilities, good A/C and ventilator. I loved that the property is on the edge of the village, and next to the Nationsl Park. Means living among locals, without the tourists noises from the walking street, but with a group of monkeys as neighbors living in the tree 2 meters next to the bungalow, roaming on the patio roof, sound of birds, and the last morning even the paw prints of a Jaguar at the tiles infront of the door from a nightly visit! I was also welcomed by a fruit bowl of oranges and bananas which I much appreciated. The location is also a perfect start for tours and excursions in the beautiful nature surrounding Tortuguero. I can highly recommend to rent a guide from TripsNativos (run by Casa Chilamates), try to get Arturo as a guide. He was an absolutely fab, intelligent, enthusiastic but humble guy. By booking a tour with TripsNativos you also support the local music school for kids, where parts of the tour earnings are donated to. Last but not least: While I didn't met the owners of Casa Chilamates in person during my stay, the messaging via booking.com was perfect, and their friends/caretakers of the house were so lovely people, worth an extra visit just to meet them again. Would I return, and recommend to friends? Absolutely, 100%.

Great location, by the soccer field. The beach was across the field. Everything in town was very close.
