Pros:

O hostel é bem localizado, super proximo do local de embarque dos barcos e também doa restaurantes (a parte turística é uma ruazinha principal com tudo la). Fiquei no dormitorio com 12 camas e 4 delas eram no esquema "caixa" (fiquei numa dessas, pois tenho um pouco mais de privacidade). O quarto tem 2 banheiros e todo mundo recebe uma chave (do quarto e do portao). Você pode agendar os tours direto na recepção tambem se preferir. Eles ainda oferexem café e chá a vontade (nao tem cafe da manhã).

Cons:

Três questões principais:
1) locker do quarto é muito pequeno. Nao cabia nem uma mochila normal - apenas mochila muito pequena ou objetos menores.
2) não tem ar condicionado, apenas ventiladores pequenos. Na caixa onde fiquei eles deixam um mini ventilador, que nao fica penduradp (vc tem que descobrir a melhor maneira de usa-lo). E la faz muuuito calor quando nao chove.
3) dos dois banheiros disponiveis no quarto, um tinha agua morninha, e o outro, tinha agua fria apenas.

Just fine.
Pros:

The accomodation was fine. had a kitchen and two bathrooms.

Cons:

The lockers were too small for a backpack and I was told I could store mine at reception desk, but no one occupied the reception desk until noon or after. so I missed an early morning tour because couldn't find a place to store my backpack. There was noise from a nearby bar pretty late into the night.

Pros:

Es gab zwar kein Frühstück jedoch den ganzen Tag kostenlosen Kaffee und Tee. Es war alles sehr sauber. Die Lage ist zentral in Tortuguero in nur wenigen Minuten erreicht man den Bootsanleger und diverse Restaurants. Nele war sehr hilfreich und hat uns mit einigen Infos versorgt.
Es gibt außerdem einen schönen Gemeinschaftsbereich und die Küche darf man auch mitbenutzen. Es ist alles schön im Grünen.

Cons:

Wir hatten zwei Zimmer gebucht, in einem hat die Klimaanlage leider nicht richtig funktioniert, sie war eher ein besserer Ventilator. Im anderen Zimmer dagegen hat sie sehr gut funktioniert. Außerdem war die Matratze auf einer Seite durchgelegen, sodass man in einer Mulde lag.
Wir waren in der Regenzeit da und hätten uns im Zimmer mehr Aufhängungsmöglichkeiten für Kleidung und Handtücher gewünscht.
