The location cannot be beat! It is next to the beach and steps away from the national park. Beautiful views! Staff was amazing and responsive to any requests. We especially enjoyed our breakfast. Staff was very helpful prior to our arrival making sure that all of our needs were tended to. I highly recommend this hotel!

The pictures are misleading. The owner of this hotel has 2 places, one is ocean front, this one is not. It’s a courtyard type hotel without a view. The other one is amazing. Don’t be mislead. We were extremely happy once the staff allowed us to move to the ocean front hotel we expected.

The hotel has its deck where the transportation drops you and picks you up to return. Doña Marina, the hotel manager was very sweet and accommodating, she even walked us to the main street and showed us the best places to eat and shop and recommended the tours.

This is a secluded nature reserve, access to which is only by a 40 minute boat ride to the main town. The town itself is one big tourist trap . The prices for everything are very high from food to souvenirs. the locals are very friendly, but also very loud and party till late at night without any consideration for the tourists.

Wonderful for wildlife watching!
Wonderful for wildlife watching! Getting to and from Tortugero was easier than I expected. We saw so much wildlife here, even in the town itself! Everybody was so friendly. Visiting Tortugero was the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica.

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!

Great outside seating area looking over the river side of Tortuguero, with both sun loungers and covered areas for the many rainy days in this part of the world. Superbly friendly team running the hotel who were happy to assist with queries such as a slightly later check out. Happy hour cocktails were also a pleasure, with good music and the best of views.
I cannot recommend this place highly enough. My room was big, quiet and spotlessly clean. There's a separate building for some of the rooms and it has a kitchen and lounge area and a lovely grassy outdoor area which was great for relaxing in. The staff are absolutely lovely - friendly, welcoming and helpful. This was my favourite place to stay in Costa Rica
For me, one of the most beautiful Hostels in Costa Rica! Beautiful common area, spacious rooms, bathrooms inside the rooms, they made our beds and gave complimentary towels. Amazing smoothies at the restaurant!! The guy from the restaurant lend me his umbrella, which I much appreciate!!
We were warmly welcomed by the hotel staff! They are attentive, accommodating and very kind! Thank you to them for their organization and their joy of living! For our first night in Costa Rica, we are impatient to discover more of this country !
