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.
