Cabinas Tortuguero was very cost effective and life was slowed down staying here. Rooms were small, bathroom smaller and both could have been cleaner / less dusty. We had an ant problem from the start on one bed. When it rains the courtyard turns into a pool. Tough to dry out clothes in the rainy season. The cafe next door... More

Yes, it is much like about less competition at this village. Result is average quality of accommodation. It is very easy to set higher price but not any better quality. We walked around village 2 times, some places checked 2 times and then we took decision to stay here. The reason was very simple, this was the only place stuff... More

Tortugeuro is a very small village and if you´re not there in turtle-season, just do yourself a favor and find a place where you can relax and hang out for a while as there is not much to do. I loved the place, to be honest. It was very basic and simple, so definitely ok if you´re travelling on a... More

It's a cheap place and clean. But can be quite noisy. Owner is a friendly guy.

Nothing luxurious but for $8 we thought you cant expect too much. Only issue is we had cockroaches all over our beds one night and no staff to talk to.. Nobody was ever at the reception

Jose the manager went out of his way to help us with any arrangements we had to make in Tortugero, including transfers to Puerto Viejo. He was a complete star and made everything hassle free. The cabin which we stayed in was simple, clean and comfy with hot running water – breakfasts were good too. The only downside was that... More

My husband and I stayed for two nights at Cabinas Tortuguero. It is one of the best values for your money - we checked around and the nicer cabinas cost twice or more the price. The room was clean and simple - nothing exciting or attractive about it. Bathroom was clean and room smelled fine. A few issues however: 1.... More

Thank you for your comments, we indeed wrote a letter to the Costa Rican Tourist Bureau and the Costa Rican National Parks Minister regarding the noise in the area, the bars and discos in Tortuguero are suppossed to lower the music after 10:00pm and the owners know that, although sometimes is midnight and we have to call the police since...

I stayed here for 2 nights. The owners went out of their way to answer questions and meet needs of travelers. Their daughter is a great translator too! The room was decent, albeit colorful! The fan was a turbo-fan and worked wonderfully! My only concern is that the place does not have a gate or security at night time. It... More
