We did not originally intend on staying here however when the place we had booked did not work out we found this place. Dave went well out of his way to ensure that we had what we needed. As we had three toddlers he was able on very short notice locate three cribs for us. He took the time to... More

Our youngest daughter is disabled, and David set us up in 'casa tortuga'. This ground level house was perfect for my wheelchair bound daughter,... More

Thank you to Dave and his friendly staff at villa tortuga. Perfect location, helpful staff, and immaculately cleaned rooms at great rates make this property a joyous vacation getaway. Shortest walk to the beach in nosara (with a 9' LONGboard on your head) goes a LONG ways. I shall return!!! Cheers

It doesn't get any better than Villa Tortuga. Perfectly homey, welcoming, comfortable property, with all the amenities you could need, situated in the jungle! The option of being close to the internet is a comfort but it's so nice there, I did my best to avoid it. You can tell it's a family run business and they care about the... More

We loved our experience here. Rooms are very clean & the staff (Dave) are all very helpful & friendly! Short walk to great waves lots of great places to eat within walking distance but you'll need a flashlight at night. I would highly recommend. Want to go back to Nosara very soon.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Here at Villa Tortuga we've attempted to create a vacation destination that feels just like home. We've taken all of the things that we've enjoyed from our own vacation experiences and combined them to form our dream vacation spot. Nestled near the sleepy town of Nosara, Playa Guiones is an ideal getaway for everyone. A three minute walk through the National Parklands gets you to a beautiful white sand beach with great surf and warm water. Our guests enjoy a relaxing environment where they can forget about the stress of daily life. Whether strolling along the sandy beaches, surfing, horseback riding through the jungle, or just lounging by the pool, we are immersed in one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. ... more   less
