Nicely located hotel.

Nice hotel, very close to jaguar trail and the beach. Was a 5/10 min walk into town for restaurants. As it is slightly outside the town it was nice and quiet.Room basic but had hot water and wi fi.Staff great and helped me navigate paying my park fees online.

Tortuguero is such a cute town! We weren’t sure we wanted to make the drive but we loved it. The boat ride from La Pavona is beautiful and the town is great for walking around and shopping. We took a guided night hike and saw a turtle laying eggs on the beach! The staff were very nice and helpful and the air conditioning in the rooms was nice. Only stayed one night but loved it!

The charm of a remote area

The room was spacious enough with a nice bathroom and shower. No aircon but a powerful fan mounted on the ceiling. We had a big rainstorm and wind the first night. The power went out and I couldn't see a thing. Bring a flashlight as the power also went out almost every day for a shorter time. The beach on the Caribbean coast was right across the street. I loved it as it was nearly deserted and unspoiled (natural). Seemed like 2 places when it was stormy or sunny. Had a nice restaurant for breakfast and good help with arranging canoe trips and guided walks. The town was a short walk but a bit tricky. I got lost coming back in the dark (again a flashlight is helpful) The place is absolutely charming with great places to eat in town.It was hot when the sun came out and steamy when it rained.

The staff were very friendly and it was helpful that we could use the pool at a sister restaurant. The hotel is at the less touristy, more residential side of town, which may be off-putting for some people. The only real downside was the lack of air conditioning. Instead, I spent a lot of time in the hammock which benefited from the sea breeze. Fantastic pancakes.

Godt gemt

Venlig personale, er sted man vælger for at være tæt på havet, gemt bag et lokalområde. Lidt nedslidt og ikke alt fungerer hele tiden. Men med lidt pura vida kan meget ordnes.

Buena estadia

Alojamiento tranquilo, el lugar para desayunar es muy agradable con vista al mar y el desayuno es rico. La habitación es cómoda y limpia pero 1 ventana no cerraba y no había mosquitero en 3 de las 4 ventanas. Para llegar el que nos fue a buscar al puerto nos llevó al hotel por un camino de barro y charcos con la maleta y después descubrimos que hay un camino de cemento! El servicio de lavandería es confiable.

Schönes Hotel direkt am Strand

Schönes Hotel direkt am Strand mit einfachen, aber sauberen Zimmern. Im Vergleich zu andern Hotels in Tortuguero sehr gut gelegen. Die Touren würden wir beim nächsten Mal allerdings nicht mehr über das Hotel buchen.
