    The beds make a lot of sound when you move and the bathroom is really small for 4 people

    The included breakfast was good and the swimming pool was also a nice addition.

    The hotel staff is very attentive and helpful. They had people waiting for us at the parking area to help us get tickets for the boat shuttle. Once we docked their was staff to bring us to the tour area to check in for the turtle tour we had that evening and then continued to walk us to the hotel. The rooms and common area were very clean. They had some umbrella and rain poncho available if you needed. It was great to have a pool to cool off in. Breakfast was very nice. The staff even brought breakfast to my daughter in her room since she wasn't feeling well. They really take care of all the details. Bring water with you since water here you can not drink.

    The location is decent, but it is a long walk from town, when carrying luggage or when you need to go back back-and-forth several times. The staff leaves the room keys for every room on a desk in the center, which made us feel a bit unsafe with leaving anything valuable in our rooms. There are no blankets only sheets but if you ask them, they will bring you a blanket. Staff is friendly overall a great value.

    Nice room. The area is quiet. The pool and breakfast is located right next door and is nice. The kids enjoyed swimming while we had coffee by the pool. AC and fan were great. You do have to go to the other hotel to access staff.. laundry was a good price

    A reasonably-priced, clean, quiet and comfortable guest house

    Initially, the location surprised us, being down a small dark sandy street, but otherwise the guest house itself is absolutely fine.

    The guest house and room was very clean and comfortable, although there was not often staff around when we wanted to ask things, except at check-in. The entrance to the accommodation is down a small black sand street quite tucked away from the centre of Tortuguero, but with the advantage of being quiet and peaceful. A good breakfast was served in the guest house next door, run by the same staff, and we were also able to use the swimming pool there, which was nice. Overall, a comfortable, clean and very reasonablly-priced place to stay in Tortuguero about a 10min walk from the main street

    I happened to be here during Spring Break. Some noisy young people not always being considerate.

    Very friendly staff. The place/room were clean, clean, clean. The place was spotless inside. The pool next door is just around the corner…even closer than pools when they are on the property of the hotel.

    The tropical rain hitting the metal roof can get quite noisy in the morning, but I actually enjoy the sound—it adds a unique charm to the atmosphere.

    The property is ideally located in Tortuguero, just a short distance from the beach and downtown. You also have access to the pool at a nearby hotel. The breakfast is delicious, and the staff is very friendly.

    Initially, we got a bedroom that smelled funky and had some mold, but after contacting the staff, we were rapidly relocated to another room. The day after the room was already getting renovated.

    Staff was very helpful (specially a girl that went above and beyond to support our requests - sorry we don't remember your name). Breakfast was great and swimmingpool was available.

    The street outside the main entrance is sometimes muddy, or if dry, dirty. This dirt seems to end up in your room somehow.

    Excellent small family run hotel. Nice and friendly staff. The hotel and room was VERY clean and well managed. Highly recommended!

    We enjoyed our stay. We had someone greet us at La Pavona parking lot, get us to our boat ride to town, and then once there we were walked to the hotel which was very helpful with all the pathways to navigate. We also booked the canoe tour once at the hotel and enjoyed that. Our room was comfortable, quiet, and the breakfast was served at the hotel close by. All was good during our stay but it was very humid in the room which was to be expected with the heavy rain while there. The staff were great!

    Somewhere to hang clothes would be nice. A bin in the room. Would be even better if you could get drinks and snacks at Los amigos bar!

    The coffee and water available. The breakfast and pool next door to use. The laundry service. Sitting on the balcony or at breakfast with monkeys around. One day a sloth was in the tree there. The staff were so helpful and Friendly. Free umbrellas to use in the rain. Towel hooks Although basic rooms, they are very comfortable, clean, daily towel change with towel art daily, free toiletries, sheet change every 3rd day. Excellent value for money.

    Didn't like being locked in the compound after 10.00pm with no exit other than shouting for staff who were on duty at a sister complex round a corner to com and unlock the gate! Felt very perturbed and unsafe!

    Nothing.

    Location was great; centrally located in Tortuguero village. Service was really good and great value for money. Very proactive in organizing tours with a great cooperation with Caretta Tours. Would definitely recommend booking the tours via the hotel, because the tours via Caretta Tours are excellent (especially Rubier and Richard!)

    The bathroom looked dirty from the cement, the door handle broke and the key was hard to get in with and the hammock broke when my daughter was sitting in it. But its not a deal breaker, if I returned I would 100% stay here again.

    Breakfast was great, location was perfect, and we booked 2 tours with Caretta Tours who they are partnered with, Dieago was a great tour guide, and we got to see monkeys, iguanas, cayman, many different types of birds and even a sloth at the end. We also went on a turtle tour and saw 6, and 1 laying eggs very special. My children enjoyed alot. The staff at the hotel were friendly and the pool was great for the kids. Thank you for a great stay!!
