We stayed for a couple of nights here - the rooms are basic but clean. We were upstairs and whilst we looked on to the main street we were never disturbed by any noise from outside or the other guests despite the walls and windows being very thin. Breakfast was basic - pancakes, eggs, and coffee - enough to set... More

We had the pleasure of staying with Daryl for 3 nights. The trip by boat getting there was an experience in itself and we were dropped off and picked up right at the deck at Casa Marbella. Daryl is an great host and very helpful with suggesting things to do and see in town. We had a beautiful room upstairs... More

We arrived at the public dock in Tortuguero via La Pavona which was a breathtaking journey all in itself. Once we got off the boat a gentleman that worked at the info centre gave us directions to Casa Marbella which was just down the dirt road a bit. From the back it doesn't look like too much, but once we... More

Casa Marbella was our first real stop on a three week adventure and we LOVED it! We were in a downstairs room that was basic, dark and adjacent to the street but perfectly good enough and plenty big enough for the four of us. What you get here though is the view from the jetty whilst you eat a great... More

We were pleased with the modest bed and breakfast. Our group ranged in age from 10 to 72 and our rooms were clean and simple We never got the hot water to work but the heat made a tepid shower ok I hope you get the French toast or pancakes for breakfast -really really yummy We really liked the location...

Go here if you have a second floor room -- ESPECIALLY one of the two rooms facing the river. We were fortunate to spend one night upstairs. However, on the second night we were in a small, cramped room with no door on the bathroom -- it was terrible. All rooms were very clean however including the bathrooms. More

We stayed at Casa Marbella for three wonderful days in a superior room on the ground floor. Very clean, simple but perfectly adequate. The decking on the riverside is a wonderful place to sit in the shade and watch the boats going backwards and forwards, the occasional iguana in the trees and birds on the opposite bank. Daryl, the owner... More

We stayed two nights in Casa Marbella and it was very good. Room was very clean and the owners were very nice. If you would like to book it in advance it is good to call till 18,00 and not later (they are in the office usually till that time). We took the boat tour organised by Case Marbella and... More

We stayed for two nights at this B&B and found it, as other reviewers have, good value for the money. Clean surroundings, good bed, tropical fruits for the breakfast starter and it was well worth the visit. It is located in Tortugureo Village which allows for exploring much more than you might be able to at the surrounding all-inclusives. We... More
