Merci pour l'accueil et la bonne humeur
Pros:

L'endroit est paisible, bien situé, quasiment au bord de l'eau.
L'hôtel est très agréable, la musique donne une ambiance relax.

Cons:

Les murs sont très fins, les 2 nuits ont été compliquées avec un bébé qui ne dormait jamais dans la chambre d'à côté. Un frigo dans la chambre aurait été un petit +.

Bel hôtel pour un petit séjour à Tortuguero
Pros:

Possibilité si la chambre est prête de s’installer plus tôt. Emplacement sympa près de la plage et du centre.
La climatisation est pratique avec la chaleur qui peut y faire.
Personnel sympathique.

Cons:

La literie pourrait être un petit peu plus confortable, mais ça passe pour une ou deux nuits.

Prima
Pros:

De prijs-kwaliteitsverhoudong. Het kost niet veel, maar het is ook niet zoveel. Prima voor twee nachtjes. Goed ontbijt

Cons:

In de kamer was één heel felle lamp, dus het was donker of je werd verblind. In de nacht werd het niet echt donker door die lamp. Verder wel oké allemaal.
