I loved my stay here! The room was very clean, the bed comfortable, and there were great free toiletries (including conditioner). Wifi and AC worked perfectly. The shared terrace was the perfect place to relax and listen to the waves. The location was also very good, a bit further away from the main street but you could walk there in a couple of minutes. The beach was right there across a small path and you could hear the waves to the terrace. Booking tours was very easy through them and they were great! The turtle nesting tour was very informative and we had a much smaller group compared to some others. It was truly a highlight! Carmen also shared other tips for the town and was very responsive and kind when I had questions. I would absolutely stay here again!

Portuguese National Park is a wonder.

Portuguese National Park is a wonder. You can't get there by Car, there are no roads. Only by boat 1 hr up river or by plane. You are in the jungle with so many animals. I recommend staying in a lodge away from town, in the secondary forest area. Take a canal boat tour and enjoy the wild life. This is a must see in Costa Rica

I absolutely loved Tortuguero and wish my spanish was better, however, it was easy to do everything with English--I was amazed at how well everyone spoke it! My favorite tour was the early morning canoe tour I booked with Green Tours. It was so peaceful and my guide, Brandon, was excellent! There are some really good restaurants/bars that are reasonably priced. Overall, it was a good time and I'm really happy with how everything turned out. I recommend booking a place to stay ahead of time, as well as the boat ride and return. Book tours once you get to the village. All the local companies are about the same price and a great value! I would 100% love to come back with friends or a partner someday. PURA VIDA!

We arrived by accident on the day of TortuFest, when there was a carnival in the streets, lots of performers and lots of fun: 1.11., highly recommended. It's good to take a morning canoe tour — even if it's raining the whole time you get to see a lot and it's a nice experience — walk through the jaguar trail, and we've seen a bunch of animals on the night walk as well (including a pooping sloth). El Patio is a great restaurant for carribean food, but the little soda right at the docks was also quite nice.

We were not originally going to stop in Tortuguero during our short stay in CR, but are so glad we did! It's not easy to get there, but the journey was most definitely part of the fun! We took a private boat from La Pavona (which cost the same as the public boat but offered to take us all the way to our hotel instead of the main Tortuguero dock). On our first night, we booked a turtle nesting tour from 8-10 pm and watched a momma turtle lay her eggs on the beach. It was incredible. We chose to eat at our hotel across the water instead of in town. It was easier that way. Besides the turtle nesting tour, we also took a hike in the national park with our children. There are other tours we could have taken, but we were satisfied with just watching the wildlife (monkeys) play at our hotel pool. On our boat trip back to La Pavona was memorable -- in that we saw many crocodiles along the river.

I really liked the town, which was tiny.

I really liked the town, which was tiny. We did eat there a couple of times and both times the food was great. I could happily have spent more time exploring the nature, and just chilling at our hotel.

The area is just beautiful. The nature is unique.

The area is just beautiful. The nature is unique. Some take aways: 1 ) use private tours to see turtles, 2) take the “periferica local transportation to commute from tortuguero town to San Francisco ($3), 3) eat at El Patio downtown, 4) take tour to the canals 5) bring good mosquito repellent, 5) bring light rain ciat and rubber boats, 6) bring dark clothing to see the turtles ( non black or dark colirs are allowed)

The Fersa boat has info about you upon your arrival to La Pavona and it takes you basically right to the hotel. The place is right in the center of Tortuguero town and few steps from the beach. We were lucky to have the whole house to ourselves. Great communication, Carmen was very helpful and even let us check in sooner. They offer a great variety of tours. We really enjoyed those! Very tasty (but a little small) breakfast. Kitchen with (almost) all you could need and with drinkable water. Wouldn't mind some spatula or ladle.

Look no further for the Perfect stay in the Tortuguero National Park. This place has everything, ranging from an amazing tropical garden, to cosy stylish rooms, the nicest staff, a pool and a backdoor access to the most beautiful uncontaminated caribbean beach. This is really one of the best stays I've had in years! The hotel also arranges all sort of activities and the transportation directly from San José, including meals and guided tours, all at a very reasonable price

Casa Marbella is well located next to the clty center of tortuguero and just a little walk to the entrance of the national park. The tour guide Luis was very friendly and he had detailed knowledge about the nature. The organization of arrival and departure was easy and well organized The breakfast which is included is basic but really nice to have.

Location was good in the edge of the national park, where we could see the wildlife. It was clean and kitchen facilities were good. They cleaned whilst we were there and the owner was very responsive when we needed help. We were met at La Pavona boat service and guided to the house in Tortuguero which was helpful.

The hotel is close to the beach. Around 3-4 minutes walk from the Tortuguero main street. Amazing staff and the room is very clean. Breakfast is great.
