Je suis resté 5 jours , j'aurai dû rester au moins 2 jours de plus
Pros:

Le jardin est magnifique.. L'hôteliere , sympathique, nous renseigne et nous donne de bons conseils sur les excursions proposées . Elle fait les réservations . L'emplacement est très bien . L'hôtel,les commerces , l'embarcadère sont dans le ruelle principale .La longue plage à 200 mètres .
Café , thé à disposition toute la journée : très appréciable.

Cons:

Tous les soirs le restaurant boîte de nuit ,en face,met de la musique trop fort ..
Avec des bouchons d'oreilles ,on " supporte " .
L'hôteliere m'a dit qu'elle n'y pouvait rien

Pros:

Chambre très spacieuse et confortable, avec la climatisation et l’eau chaude qui font du bien! Également très bien situé!

Cons:

La cuisine commune était un grand avantage, mais c’était parfois difficile de pouvoir y accéder étant donné qu’il y a seulement 3 feux et que la cuisine est également celle que la famille utilise! Mais en soit, c’est faisable!

Excellent cabinas, relaxing garden, great location in Tortuguero
Pros:

The cabinas are super! Spacious, comfortable, with a nice seating area and hammock on the verandah to use. The garden is very relaxing, and you might be lucky to see monkeys and birds. It's very central in Tortuguero to walk to the docks, the park entrance for Jaguar Trail and all restaurants all in around 5 mins. Same for the beach (just go past Taylors Restaurant). Free tea and coffee all day is nice, too.

Cons:

As it says on the property listing you may get some noise from the bar opposite on weekends, so bring earplugs. Fri & Sat we had noise but nothing on Sunday.

Ostello semplice, carino con pessimo wifi, ma economico
Pros:

Ostello semplice ma economico con buon rapporto qualità/prezzo considerando gli standard del Costa Rica:
- Stanza in dormitorio ben spaziosa
- 2 bagni con acqua calda
- Spazio immerso nella natura
- Staff gentile

Cons:

- Wi-Fi terribile praticamente come se non ci fosse (il peggiore del Costa Rica)
- Cucina molto basica e abbandonata a se stessa
