Very low pressure in the shower.

Amazing view of the beach and palm trees. We could enjoy it from our hammocks in our terrace.

The air conditioner was making very loud noise

Perfect location

Stayed in March 2025

We didn’t have where to hang wet clothes.

It is well located near the beach. Host works with local tour company and it’s super easy to arrange activities. Everything was fluent. WiFi speed was quite good if you compare to other locations in Costa Rica, although sometimes it was off. I guess thats why there are two WiFi networks available 😀

Room was a bit small and had to ask for coffee facilities

Location and staff

Stayed in August 2024

The room was very dark, so felt a bit gloomy. But I knew it was going to be very basic. It was hard to keep mud/dirt from outside from going into the room, so I was sweeping up alot! There wasn't much communication from the owners, so I didn't really know what to do upon check-out.

Location was right on the beach, so was wonderful to be able to see and hear the waves. The local cats were very friendly!

Stayed in August 2024

A little bit old, a little bit grosy. You have to walk a bit and when is has been rained you have to go trough the puddles. So first impression is not that good

Location was good, enough space. . Tourguide Kevin is great!

Stayed in August 2024

No screens on windows or door, so couldn't really leave them open.

Just steps from the beach!

Stayed in March 2024

Bunk beds seem somewhat unstable.

Great location in the outskirts of the little village. Right by the ocean. Fantastic sound of the waves crashing.

Stayed in February 2024

Description listed coffee machine and clothes rack, but room had neither. A few of the electrical sockets did not work. Only 1 cup and saucer (plus 2 glasses). Nowhere to put/hang clothes. A few simple hooks would help.

Idyllic location facing the ocean. Close to everything but quiet and relaxing. Managers very responsive.

Stayed in January 2024

Room a bit outdated, and you can hear the apartment/room next door. But overall a very good place to stay!

Literally in front of the beach! Unbeatable quality price ratio. We enjoyed a lot the terrace and the location.

Stayed in December 2023

The only thing I can think of is that perhaps the pillows are a bit hard? And the freezer struggled to keep our ice cream frozen, just small things...

Very spacious room with all the equipment to self cater. The bed was comfy and loved the option to hang out in the hammock outside listen to the waves crashing! The staff was very helpful and they have some amazing guides that they work with (especially Kevin went out of his way to organise a tour for us). Good value for money.

After arriving we were told that the villa wasn’t actually available for our first night and we were put up in a very poor, substandard room down the road. We didn’t pay for this !!!! We checked in on our 2nd day! The shower/shower head needs improving and some more outside furniture would be nice.

It’s superb location, right on the beach. Great aircon, lovely inside space…plenty of room and kitchen facilities ok.

Stayed in October 2023

The apartment could use some sprucing up. It was clean but it's age is showing. Despite this, I would stay again considering the other pricy alternatives.

The location steps away from the Caribbean is unbeatable for the price. A short walk from the center of the village. It was also nice that the people at the La Pavona dock knew were coming and that we were greated once we arrived in Tortuguero.

Stayed in May 2023

It was not very clean, in particular the fridge. The check-out at 9am (!) is not negotiable.

Nice room with a view on the ocean and own little patio.

Stayed in May 2023

We would have felt a little more comfortable if security was higher, especially for the living room window. It’s a bit of a dark walk from the town to the house after 6pm. It might be a little nerve-wracking for a person alone. Could have used better pillows too.

We’re glad to have had the experience of staying right on the water. The location is very calming and beautiful. The house was clean and well-equipped. We appreciated having the air conditioner in the bedroom for overnight. The rest of the time we enjoyed the lovely breeze coming from the water. It was nice to be able to walk around town.

Stayed in February 2023

Nothing really bad but just not a great place overall. There were definitely a lot of places in the area that looked like better quality for the price. There was no one to meet us at the boat dock and the town is a bit of a rabbit warren so we had a hard time finding the place. There was no paved walkway to the hotel, which was mostly fine until it rained.

As advertised, this accommodation was right on the beach and close to all amenities and tours.

Stayed in February 2023

If you want to escape the confused wandering bands of German and French tourists at least for a little while, stay on the ocean side. This place has a much appreciated feeling of seclusion, and the sound of the ocean at night is worth the price.

Stayed in March 2025

There was absolutely nothing to dislike about this property.

As close as you can get to the beach in a five minute walk to Main Street. There are two apartments in this house. The big room has a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable living room. The smaller room just had a bed and a washroom. Both were very spacious and very very clean. The owner responded to all inquiries within minutes. very helpful with any questions we had aboutthe area.

Stayed in February 2025

One air-conditioning in the bedroom. Not sure if it didn't work or we didn't know how to make it work, but it didn't cool down the room. There is a very strong mold smell in the air. The sofa had mold all over it and the microwave hadn't been cleaned for a while.

The place is in front of the beach. Foot in the sand, and although it is not possible to swim in the sea, you can still get your ankles wet. It is also nice walking on the sand and even in the national park, next to the beach.

Stayed in December 2024

The facilities are not super comfortable and smell a bit like mold. The fridge is kind of noisy during the night, and the shower has no pressure. It looks like the place needs some renovations.

It's located in front of the beach with a very nice view. Moreover the place is close to the centre of the village. The room was equipped with a fridge and a water boiler, which is always helpful.

First of all, I wrote this in a private message to the host during our stay, but they didn't respond. The shower is dangerous! It's an electric heatingsystem in the showerhead. you can see the cables. Feels like a suicide shower. When I used it, I wanted to change the temperature, and I got an electric shock from the unit. Be really careful. We wanted to move to another place but decided to stay because it would be a lot of hassle, and there's an outside shower which we were going to use. On our second day, there was a guy that randomly showed up, collecting the money. He didn't have change, so he made a little calculation of dollars and colones together. I'm not really sure if this was the right amount. Would have been better if they just charged us via booking. It's especially weird that you come and collect the money without change. But we told him about the shower. He took off the electricity, so now we could shower safe, but only with cold water. The room was a bit dirty and old. We couldn't use the hammocks properly on our side because the hanging system is old and rusty, so we hung them on the neighbours side because there was nobody. Also, you are being filmed on the porch, chilling in the hammock. Would not stay here again, and we actually wanted to leave to another place. Unfortunately, this was a lot of hassle. To the owner: please get that shower fixed. Electricity and water is not a joke. All the others are up to whatever people expect from it.

The beds in the room were awful, the shower just as bad, the one bedroom had air on with no air conditioning in the main living space, if they swapped that around then it would be more comfortable.

What’s not to like about tortuguero, it’s a sensational place, turtle bogue was ok, great location right on front of the beach, awful showers and beds. We were met by a very nice guy from the harbour who showed us our accommodation, everyone is trying to sell something on this island when the trip from car park gives you everything, the boat ride is magical as is the wildlife.

Stayed in April 2024

- the mattress was very uncomfortable (it had a depression in the middle) and needs to be replaced urgently - there are no hangers or anywhere to put some clothes (except for two plastic chairs) - the room and bathroom need some maintenance (lots of cracks, everything is old and in need of repair) - we never saw the owner or staff (check in and payment was made to a guide that pick us up from the boat)

- Great location
