Escale type motel ni plus ni moins

C’est avant tout un motel donc une gamme en dessous, un tout petit drap fait office de couverture ( dommage ), et eau chaude qui n’est pas arrivée :( Sinon logement climatisé et situé au calme, donc pas de bruits de camions. Le réceptionniste nous a bien conseillé pour notre trajet du lendemain.

Keep away. These people are not honest. They intentionally charged us twice for the same room, claiming that no payment had been made through Expedia. I had to fix the charges through my credit card company. This was a nightmare. Find another place.

No frills is not an exaggeration.

The listing should state explicitly that there is no A/C, and the WiFi was really weak in the room, so I had to go to the office to get the rest of my trip booked. But the staff did give me a map to Tortuguero and explained how to get there. The room was pretty clean, but the mattress was difficult to sleep on for me. 6.1/10. For the money, I can usually find a better hostel, but the location is very helpful.

Durchschnittliches Hotel mit guter Lage

Das Hotel ist ein typisches Motel welches nur durch seine Lage punkten kann. Freundliches Personal, sehr einfache Ausstattung. Für eine Nacht auf dem Weg nach Tortuguero ausreichend.

Lo más cerca de Tortuguero, pero...

Parece un hotel de una película de Almodóvar. Dormimos bastante mal, pero no hay opción más cercana a Tortuguero... sin agua caliente, por cierto.

Gutes Hotel zur Durchreise

Wir nutzten Cariari als Zwischenstopp auf dem Weg in den Tortuguero. Das Hotel hat eine gute Lage und die Besitzerin ist sehe freundlich. Der Ort ist nicht sehr Touristisch bietet aber einige Restaurants.Alles in Allem ein gutes Preis- Leistungsverhältniss und ein gemütliches Hotel.

Good pitstop hotel for one night

We stayed in the hotel for one night when going to Tortuguero. The receptionist didn't speak English but she was very friendly. Room was ok, bed felt first nice and firm but it wasn't that good in the end. But we have had worse in CR! You can park the car right infront of the door. Hotels.com says there is breakfast for purchase but this is not true - no breakfast at all.
