It had a pool which was decent until it got occupied by a noisy party with a cooler full of beer and whiskey which they decided to consume while sitting on the stairs to the pool.

We had an enyoable time at the hotel. The air conditioning was cold and the showers hot. But the best part was the friendliness of the women who worked there. Super helpful with shuttles, easy to communicate with and overall very friendly. Highly recommended!

The staff were so helpful. From the moment I booked to during our staff they were in contact with us and helped us to book trips and transfers. They just made the whole trip so much easier. When we were at the property the room was lovely, very clean with everything we could want. The food was amazing too, some very tasty local dishes. The trips arranged for us by the hotel was amazing. I would highly recommend to anyone planning on visiting the area.

2 nights is perfect, I thought maybe it would be too short, but it was perfect...we arrive around 2.30pm and checked in and then enjoyed some food and the beach, and the next day did 2 tours, canoe and turtles which both is a must. Its a fab island, really great people, amazing place...so green, and with children its fantastic. The boat to the Island we saw a crocodile.

The town is ok - plenty of eateries.
The town is ok - plenty of eateries. The accommodation at Cabinas Sports Fishing was wonderful! The early morning boat trip was very enjoyable, as was the Jaguar trail in the National Park. The Budda Cafe has a nice vibe and good food. We were there in April so missed the turtle nesting season but still very much worth a visit!

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 hotel is situated in San Francisco village, 10min away from the busy Tortuguero village. The location is very quiet and you will really be in touch with nature and locals. The bed is comfortable and there is a hot shower. The breakfast was very good and with a view of the river. We organized all tours directly with the hotel and we did not regret it. Pedro was great and knowledgeable guide. It is possible to book a dinner in the hotel or explore San Francisco's local sodas.
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.
- super friendly and welcoming owners
- amazing breakfast (they even gave me a takeaway breakfast on the day of my departure)
- very clean and comfortable room(s)
- comfortable, new mattresses
- good location right be the docks (where all the kayaking / canoe-tours start) in the centre of Tortuguero village
- close to the beach
- close to the National Park entrance
I was cheap and close to the beach. Good A/C and shower was big and had hot water (often in Costa Rica there is no hot water for the shower. Bed was comfortable.
