The setting was very nice, spectacular in fact, as all of Tortuguero. The prices were however quite hard to justify.

A Gem
This place was ideal. Wonderfully friendly people, Bismarck the manager was so helpful at getting us on tours with local guides, just the 2 of us so we could decided what we wanted to do. Food was a good buffet at breakfast & just 1 choice in the evening but nice. Town is a boat taxi ride away, 10 minutes $10 return for 2. Rooms were clean & quiet, grounds well kept with hammocks in shaded areas. Our daughter told us about it, as she’d found it & had a girls holiday there ideal for all types of adventures Highly recommend

A special location
This hotel is very basic but it was spotlessly clean, had everything you needed and the service was very good. But the really special thing about this hotel is the location. We were the only people staying at this hotel so it was extremely quiet apart from the sounds of the jungle. We lay in bed at night listening to monkeys, birds, from making their noises. Whilst we dangled our feet in the swimming pool we watched the spider monkeys play in the trees. It was very special. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, helping us arrange transport and trips. We did a couple of trips from here, the kayak, jungle walk and turtle tour. All were incredible and the guides were excellent

Misleading advertising
I couldn’t say I loved our stay while the staff seemed nice. This is a newer establishment and there seemed to be a lack of transparency in how they conduct business. First, the complementary WiFi only exists on the dock and not in your room, which made researching the area very difficult. Second, i regret booking our canoe tour through them, with one guy quoting us one price and another refuting it and us paying significantly more than necessary. Third, the outdoor pool was being repaired and we had to be transported to another hotel to use their pool. Going off the property takes surcharges and I still couldn’t figure out how much. The first guy said they offer a 50% discount than local water taxi, which made it $10. The other guy didn’t seem happy about it and after chitchatting in Spanish among themselves, they came back to say it should be $16. this is the kind of lack of transparency that makes me very uncomfortable. Oh since you might not want to spend 16 dollars to get off their property, you can eat at their restaurant for 15 but this was also not written out anywhere. Overall I feel the staff is trying really hard to make people pay more rather than operating on a fair pricing system. I would not recommend this property to anyone unless there is significant improvement.

This place is a great deal for visiting tortuguero
We love this place! It is clean and basic with comfortable beds and the grounds are gorgeous. It's a short way from town but they are willing to drive you there by boat and believe me it is much nicer than town! Great staff and food. Highly recommend, good value... Kudos to Ron our nature guide, Bismarck the manager and Edna the cook. We were sad to leave after two days

Beautiful grounds, quiet, ok rooms
Manager Bernardo was helpful in organizing our time in Tortuguero. Excursions can be booked through the lodge (via Bernardo) or in town. However, it's recommended to book your excursion through the lodge and pay a little more to ensure your excursion is legit. We did the canal tour and turtle tour and would highly recommend doing both. Turtle tour during turtle nesting season is a must do! The lodge itself is on beautiful grounds surrounded by lots of greenery. As a result, you can hear the animals throughout the night and the howler monkeys in the morning. This is an experience on its own and one of the main reasons why I would recommend staying at a location not within Tortuguero town. We even saw white faced monkeys in the trees one day! Rooms are basic and have everything you need, but have a feeling of constant dampness due to the location and likely time of year we visited. Beds and pillows are moderately comfortable, so if you're looking for luxury, keep in mind this is an eco-lodge. The only way to get to town is by water taxi which costs $5/person (usd) each way, which you'll need to do if you don't want to eat all of your meals at the lodge. I would recommend this as it's also a way to experience the culture of tortuguero.

Very good location in the Park.
This is a nice hotel in the park. It's away from the main "town", about a 5 minute water taxi ride away. The grounds are nice, there is hiking at the hotel. On the hotel grounds and hiking trails over 4 days we say howler monkeys, spider monkeys, toucans, macaws, poison dart frogs, and lots of other critters! They offer boat tours of the canals, which were wonderful. We loved the first one so much, we booked another one the next day, where they took us to different parts of the canals. On the canals, we saw some rare birds, cayman, more monkeys, and even a sloth. The guide was extremely nice and knowledgeable. We hung out with the owners a few times, they are very nice. The manager was also incredibly nice. It was just a great experience overall, and a wonderful place to stay at while visiting the park. Remember, this hotel, and all the other ones are IN THE JUNGLE, which means there are lots of insects, it's hot, everything's damp and humid, etc... This isn't a 5 star Hilton in a city!

Somewhat dissapointing
The setting is very picturesque but the hotel is far from the village, every time you need to go to the village you must pay $10 to water taxi. Additionally, we had no hot water during the first day of our stay which is tough in hot weather. The conditions are very basic, its more 2 starts then 3.

ECO is a fancy word for Budget in Costa Rica
Not your typical Costa Rican hospitality - felt a bit of a prisoner here. You will eat this amount of this food at this time, and it will cost you $20 per person to leave the island that only it is on. We arrived too late for lunch so had to do without eat, and there is nowhere else to eat without paying $20 for the boat to go elsewhere. Nothing to do here and very basic.

Located is a remote area
This hotel has tons of potential, we were the only guests in the hotel, therefore making it difficult for the staff to prepare meals. The food that was prepared for us was good, we did not have a choice they just served what they have on hand. The rooms are clean and the staff was pleasant and very helpful, a new manager had just started and did his best to accommodate us. The pool was nice and the land was beautiful. This is remote so if you would like to leave you need to take a water taxi (with a charge) We also took a tour of the river while their that was wonderful. Our tour guide was from the area and extremely knowledgeable. The hotel is in need of some updating but overall they are working on items as they go. We did not find any type of bugs or critters in our rooms. The owners were their when we were and were very friendly and helpful.
