Pros:

Posizione centrale nel paese. Ristorante adiacente convenzionato cucina bene ma potete andarci senza convenzione e scegliere ciò che volete. Eric la guida per il Cerro è stato fantastico e ci ha spiegato tutto con passione.

Cons:

Wifi scarsissimo. Se piove salta corrente. Bagno con mini lavabo e buco aperto al posto della finestra. Non c'è phon. Muri e porte con finiture scarse. Il livello a Tortuguero probabilmente è scarso in generale ma qui bisogna proprio accontentarsi.

Basic, aber netz
Pros:

Die Lage direkt am zentralen Platz. Der Balkon, von dem aus man dem Treiben und den Vögeln zuschauen konnte. Direkt am Balkon ist ein Mandelbaum, auf dem wir Tukane beobachten konnten. Das Zimmer war angemessen groß und klimatisiert.

Cons:

Das Gebäude wirkte sehr alt und nicht sonderlich gepflegt. Wir hatten Ameisen im Zimmer. Schlecht isoliert-man hört wirklich alles von draußen und durch die Lage im Zentrum ist es auch nachts noch sehr laut.

Great location and very basic.
Pros:

It is in the middle of the town, very well located and has a nice pool. People are nice enough, though I did not see them to much.

Cons:

The room is extremely basic. Like, there is a bed and a picture on the wall. No shelves, nothing to hang your stuff, no tv, nothing. There was a small cupboard and an airco though (which I did not use) Plus, it was very moist, water dripping from the ceiling, so the room was very slippery as it had tiles

Pros:

Està muy cerquita del mueller, el personal atento y agradable.
El lugar està limpio, hay habitaciones con variada camas y aire acondicionado.
No és un lugar lujoso però està limpio y correcto.
Por la tarde nos fuimos a refrescar un rato a la piscina antes de cenar, tambien correcta.
En resumen lugar correcto con el precio.
Muy bien.

Cons:

Cuando llegamos no iba no la tele ni el ventilador però lo cambiaron en seguida.

Pros:

Struttura a pochissimi metri dal molo di arrivo delle barche di Tortuguero. Camere piuttosto comode anche se abbiamo dormito poco. Infatti, tra fuso orario (eravamo appena arrivati dall'Italia), escursioni notturne per vedere le tartarughe, sveglia all'alba per altra escursione sui canali e un simpatico procione che si è messo di notte a giocare sul tetto in lamiera delle camere, avremo dormito si e no 4 ore...
L'host Erick, molto bravo, preparato e sempre disponibile.

Cons:

Niente di particolare da segnalare.

Pros:

Chambres correctes
Sol et draps propres
Piscine
Proche du centre et de la mer
Personnel très sympathique

Cons:

Les prises électriques de la chambre ne fonctionnaient pas
Le lit superposé du haut n'avait pas de barrière (cela dit, on ne devait pas l'utiliser)
Les murs de la douche n'étaient pas tout à fait propres, mais surtout sable et poussières
La piscine est coincée entre les chambres et un mur. Mais elle est bien et fait le job

Pros:

Friendly owner how is glad to help with organising tours.
The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of town.
Very nice to have a swimming pool as you can not swim in the river because of crocodiles and the sea has dangerous currents.

Cons:

There is no more breakfast possibilities in the hotel.

An option (last minute) stay at Tortuguero
Pros:

A nice lodging option near the boat pier in Tortuguero. A family run business - they have a tour office, restaurant, and a hotel. Some rooms in the hotel are equipped with air conditioning. Fairly quiet in the evening. Guided tours are competitively to priced - I tried guided canoe tour - it lasted about 1.5 hours.

Basic accommodation with a great breakfast
Pros:

It was very near the boats. The room had lots of beds and an ensuite. Breakfast was great.

Cons:

No ac just a little fan and it was very humid. It helped that we could all sleep in separate beds and we did sleep well.
