Basic rooms.

Fabulous settling, lovely gardens, very basic tired room. Breakfast and dinner was OK. Hated the wooden seats without cushions in the dining area.

The service was incredible and well-suited for our family's needs. The lodges were comfortable and clean, and the staff had great advice for activities and helped us plan out our days to ensure we could enjoy as much of Tortuguero as possible. We appreciate the eco-friendly, family atmosphere and the humble interaction with wildlife. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an adventure in the rainforest!

Waterfront Tropical Cottage

We stayed here with our 1 1/2 year-old and 3 year-old and the staff was very patient and friendly! They were able to make accommodations and provided special assistance with meals, organizing transportation and addressed all our inquiries. We got to see monkeys on the property and many tropical birds. We used the pool and enjoyed the quiet rocking chair dock while waiting for a few passing rain clouds. Excellent-Family Friendly place to say just a quick water taxi away from Tortuguero.

Hotel que no debe dejar pasar de visitarlo

Lo pasamos increíble!!! Mi esposo y yo ya habíamos ido a este hotel y nos encantó. Por eso decidimos llevar a nuestros amigos. Ellos se sintieron maravillados del lugar y de todas las bellezas que tiene Tortuguero. Los jardines del hotel, sus habitaciones y la atención de su personal son excepcionales.

Lovely staff, good breakfast. Note that the wifi is almost non existant at the lodge, and zero wifi reaches the rooms. If you are doing a tortuguero tour, may be worthwhile to make sure they pick you up at the hotel- otherwise you need ti taxi into the main town (~4$ us roundtrip, and a bit of a hassel if youre doing an early morning tour). Pool was very nice. Pricey meals onsite for lunch or supper (15$ us) or you can take the free hotel boat into town at 3pm, returning at 5pm. May be nice to stay right into tortuguero, but this hotel is quiet and and good price.
