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!

L’hôtel est vraiment bien situé, juste devant l’immense plage (baignade interdite!). Pour la baignade, la piscine de l’hôtel a plu à toute la famille! L’appartement est grand et les lits sont confortables! Le personnel est fort sympathique, particulièrement Josué et la dame du restaurant où nous prenions le déjeuner. Nous recommandons!

Petit hôtel très sympathique au bord de l’ocean. Il semblerait qu’il soit dangereux de s’y baigner … nous n’avons pas essayé . Petite piscine carrée pour se détendre si besoin. Familial, tenu par un frere et une soeur. Petit déjeuner , possibilité de manger le soir sur place ( nous n’avons pas testé )

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.
