Homestays in Tortuguero

This place felt like home. The owners were lovely and helped when I needed it. It was a very homely place and extremely clean. The space out the back of the property was great for eating breakfast. The Wi-Fi was good. The bathroom was nice and big and spacious too. I was picked up from the dock so I would know where I was going. Improvement point is maybe the room could do with some hooks on the back of the door for a rain jacket but that is so minor. I would highly recommend this place for anyone to stay.

Beautiful place next to the sea, shared kitchen, well equipped, every room has its own hammock! AC is great.

The location is perfect for Tortuguero - right in the middle of the main street. We chose the main hotel with one room opening right into the lobby and another off to the side. Normally i wouldnt want that but we loved it for this particular location. I wouldn't have changed it. FYI they also offer a guest house with shared washrooms and living room/kitchen area just around the corner. There are no cars so it is nice to just walk straight out and everthing is right there. The floors are mosaic tiles with turtles and crabs laid in them. I loved them. The private rooms are big and the beds are comfortable. Casa Thirema arranged for our pickup from San Jose and our excursions ( we did the lookout over the Caribbean Sea on our boat ride in - long hot walk up the stairs but amazingly worth it for the views, private kayak tour through the canals and a night walk [Angelo was amazing] - recommend them all) and our transportation including boatride and taxi to Puerto Viejo afterwards. Very easy - so glad i didnt have to figure that out on my own! Tortuguero is unique and well worth the trip! A secluded area that is a must see in our opinion. We feel like our trip just started in Toruguerro. We had already travelled all through Central and a lot of the Pacific side of CR. If you haven't been to Tortuguero you have missed Costa Rica's gem. They call the area that you boat in on the "Little Amazon" and it is so rightfully named. This was and is still the highlight of our trip - we are still travelling down the Caribbean coast. I would definitely recommend staying 2 nights though, especially during turtle season - we were off season so we missed out. This is a true look at how People live in this area. No 5 star hotels or chains here. If you are looking for resort style life don't bother. If you are looking for unique unforgettable stop - this is your spot.

Very modern rooms and kind and helpful staff

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.

comfortable, clean room, great view of river, very small (handful of rooms) excellent trips direct from hotel, 150m from centre but restaurants start outside.

Super friendly staff, they helped us out to make the best of our stay

We loved staying at Hugo and Ailin's place. It's located almost right next to Tortuguero National Park and offers everything you need for a few days in nature. The accommodation is of high quality compared to other Airbnbs in the area, and it's more affordable than a hotel. Ailin was an excellent host and even helped arrange tours for us. We were expected at La Pavona and then again upon our arrival in Tortuguero at Muelle Principal, making our arrival smooth and well-organized. I would also recommend this place for families with children. There are two large beds, a small kitchenette, air conditioning, and even a flat-screen TV with Netflix and more.

Nicely located hotel with new furnishings and an interesting relaxation area. Helpful staff – nothing to complain about!

This accomodation was absolutly the best! Located 5 minutes from the main street. The host was nice and made us feel like at home. In front of our cabin was a pool that we enjoyed to refresh while tucans and parrots were flying above us. Our cabin was well designed, clean and cozy. We got towels changed twice per day. There is even a safe to lock belongings. I would 100% recomend this place!
