Geweldig
Pros:

De locatie was geweldig. Het restaurant bij het verblijf was absoluut het leukste plekje.

Cons:

Helaas hadden wij geen warm water. Maar gezien het kleine (en mooie) gebied, is dit iets waar je gewoon rekening mee moet houden.

Cheap and cheerful stay in a great location.
Pros:

Great location near to La Pavona boat dock. Air con was very welcome.

Cons:

No safe, nowhere to hang any clothes, room was never cleaned in three days and we had to ask for clean towels.

Appartement met kleine kamer en slechte wifi, midden in het centrum!
Pros:

Wij kregen appartement “Barcelona” toegewezen, wat bereikbaar is via een lange trap. Lekker stevig bed. Fijne kussens. Badkamer met fijne regendouche. Gelukkig hadden we de koffers niet bij, want die zouden we niet kwijt kunnen. Koelkast en tv met Netflix aanwezig. Goed werkende airco. Afgesloten terrein. Beneden zit de Budda Bar, waar je gezellig aan het water wat kunt drinken en eten. Daar is de wifi wel goed. Aardige bediening en prima eten.

Cons:

Kleine kamer, smal bed, slechte wifi op de kamer, voordeur inbraakgevoelig en ondanks aangrenzend café, geen ontbijtopties.

Great place to stay and enjoy Tortuguero. Many good places to eat too.
Pros:

The location was perfect. Central to everything. Clean and spacious room. We were in the Africa room. Nice view of surroundings. Daniel checked us in and he is the best. Very friendly and he was also our guide on the excursions we did. He was extremely knowledgeable and showed us many different plants and birds, lizards, and we saw sloths also.

Leuk hotel, goede locatie.
Pros:

De locatie midden in het dorpje. En de vriendelijkheid van het personeel is uitstekend.

Cons:

Eigenlijk niets, wel kleine puntjes van kritiek. De lamp in de spiegel was defect, zeepdispenser was leeg, wij zaten boven Budda Cafe daardoor wel wat geluid vanuit het restaurant (stopt om 21.00u) maar dit was voor ons niet storend.

Hele fijne plek net alles wat je nodig hebt.

Hele fijne plek met alles wat je nodig hebt. Een van onze beste plekjes in Costa Rica. Ook fijn om koelkast te hebben en mogelijkheid zelf kopje koffie en thee te kunnen zetten. Fijn café ook met lekker eten en geweldig uitzicht op de lagoon.
