Hotel El Icaco Tortuguero, hotel in Tortuguero

Set on the beach in Costa Rica’s Tortuguero National Park, El Icaco Tortuguero offer Caribbean Sea views from the common areas. You can observe the protected Green Turtle laying its eggs nearby.

Very sweet hotel with extraordinarily friendly staff, great star fruit juice, very clean, good air condition (recommended :)), little nice pool and beautiful beach. Extraordinarily well organized! The hotel sent perfect information about where to park and how to get to the ferry. Both at the Parking lot and the ferry Harbour at tortuguro there were hotel guides to support with payment, directions etc. It was easy to prebook tours, we liked the kayak morning tour a lot. Do bring cash.

La Casona Eco-Lodge Tortuguero, hotel in Tortuguero

La Casona Eco-Lodge Tortuguero features an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a terrace and bar in Tortuguero. The property is non-smoking and is located a few steps from Tortuguero Beach.

Well it is at the quieter end of the town, about 5-10 minutes walk from the boat, with a football pitch next to it. The room was ok but quite small with little room to put anything. The aircon worked well which was great. It was a lovely pool. I would go in early morning and late evening as it would be cooler. The middle of the day it would heat up like bath water. They provide a big barrel of drinking water.

    The town is ok - plenty of eateries. The accommodation at Cabinas Sports Fishing was wonderful! The early morning boat trip was very enjoyable, as was the Jaguar trail in the National Park. The Budda Cafe has a nice vibe and good food. We were there in April so missed the turtle nesting season but still very much worth a visit!

    What a gem.

    What a gem. We had three nights here but in hindsight could have done two (a lot of people just do one). Two nights gives you a chance to soak up the atmosphere and explore the village from end to end. It was an experience getting there - a 1hr boat trip (which can be longer depending on the water levels). On arrival we were surprised at the number of bars and restaurants - a huge variety. Many on the waterfront and how wonderful to have no cars. Our hotel met us at the wharf and transferred our luggage. The hotels are right amongst the locals houses - so you really get to know the village and can hear all the 'goings on'. Just walking around you see the houses, some of the challenges living there, the flora and fauna. We did a motor boat tour at 9am - would recommend doing this at 6am as the forest wakes up. Its amazing on the water - seeking the birds close up, camen, monkeys and iguanas. You will see more animals on a tour of the forest but its still worth the experience. The motor boat tour includes national park entry - but I would recommend using a guide in the park as despite what you think its really hard to spot animals without the 'experienced eye'; and of course its their livelihood. I also did a night tour - there were a lot of other night tours - we walked along the route to the airport so it didn't feel super secluded - but we did see an armadillo, spiders, a snake, sloth and an iguana. Just goes to show nature is all around us - but again I would never have seen it without the experienced guide. Overall its quite an experience and would suggest Tortuguera is a 'must have' on a Costa Rica itinerary.

    Loved the fact that the boat dropped us off at the hotel's dock and picked us up here as well. Checkin was a breeze but make sure you have the cash to pay for the room and any tours. Canoe/boat tours, day hikes, night walks were arranged by the hotel in advance for very nominal rates. The tours start right at the hotel and hence very convenient. The hotel sits on the banks of the river and the views are lovely especially during dusk and dawn. We experienced torrential rain one afternoon and during the night. The rain in the afternoon did not last long. The canals are accessible by boat, canoe and kayaks. Tortuguero is laid back and a nice place to wind down and experience time float by. Great place to see Great Green Macaws fly by during dawn and dusk. We also saw the last of the turtle hatchings make their way to the sea. Wonderful sight to experience. The town and beach are easily accessible. The canals are teeming in wildlife. We saw green basilisks, iguanas, jacanas, toucans, caimans, herons and monkeys (howler, spider and capuchin). On the night walk we saw frogs (Savage's bullfrog, red-eyed tree frog, some snakes, and a sloth at close range. The hotel staff were nice. The free breakfast was an added bonus. Laundry service was available for a fee. The town was easily accessible by foot. Local food at the sodas was fulfilling. Overall a wonderful experience!

    It was like going to the Amazon River and experiencing wildlife and diversity. It was a multi cultural place with a taste of how locals villagers live , ocean access, river access and the best part is watching conservation of turtles. Turtle night tour is a must do!!?

    Town was better than pictured.

    Town was better than pictured. Walking to everything is easy. Favorite restaurants were Miss Miriams next to the football field and Budda Cafe overlooking the river. Went on three turtle tours and the canoe tour. All great. Used Tuanis Tours for 2 turtle and canoe and Leonardo for private turtle tour. Grocery store carries beer and liquor at reasonable prices.

    The Tortuguero area is considerably different from the rest...

    The Tortuguero area is considerably different from the rest of Costa Rica. Isolated from land transport, all access is done either by boat or plane. Opt for the boat if you can. It's cheap (around 8000 colones round trip from La Pavona), and despite being on a public transport you'll have a tour experience. The trip can take up to 1,5 hours, with safety conditions guarateed (life vests) and you'll be winding through the florest canals until you reach the Tortuguero sandbar. much like running down the Amazonas, The village is very small but with a great ambient of friendly people (general fact in all CR) with plenty of options for food/drinks, accomodations. Tortuguero life runs around sightseeing (National Park, turtle tours, and cannoeing in the canals). At night you'll have plenty of options for sunset and dinning. You're in a protected area for marine turtles and the mindset is all around that. Forget about bathing in the river or the beach, as one it's inhabited by crocodiles and the other with bull sharks,

    The Fersa boat has info about you upon your arrival to La Pavona and it takes you basically right to the hotel. The place is right in the center of Tortuguero town and few steps from the beach. We were lucky to have the whole house to ourselves. Great communication, Carmen was very helpful and even let us check in sooner. They offer a great variety of tours. We really enjoyed those! Very tasty (but a little small) breakfast. Kitchen with (almost) all you could need and with drinkable water. Wouldn't mind some spatula or ladle.

    The place is a little off of the city center, so it's quiet and chill. Anyways, there's a supermarket just around the corner and everything in Tortuguero is walkable in 10 minutes anyways. The national park entrance is just around the corner as well. The owners, Oscar and Karin are so welcoming. They even prepared a coconut for me to drink at my arrival. The room was very clean and spacious, with a good working brand new aircon and a lot of space to put your clothes. The common arena in the backyard is very cozy.

    The hotel is fantastic value for money and I definitely had the best breakfast there by far in Costa Rica. The staff were fantastic and were so friendly and helpful. I loved the location of the hotel with its gorgeous views over the garden to the sea. My favourite spot was undoubtedly the hammocks swinging under the palm trees. Bernardo the guide who sells the tours was also very helpful and the canoe trip he organised was really fine. All in all a great stay in this gorgeous part of Costa Rica. Thank you!!

    Free Breakfasts at the adjoining Hotel Los Amigos were very good. The pool area was clean and attractive. Staff was kind and helpful. Someone met us promptly at the boat from La Pavona and had a cart ready for our luggage to the hotel. The instructions delivered by email through booking.com about arrival and the boat trip were very clear and helpful, NICE!. Made us feel safe and comforted by the Carey Hotel level of detail on the canal trip in.

    Best hostel to stay in Tortuguero! I will definitely stay at the same place if I go back to Tortuguero. Mariana took really good care of us, she cooked us a beautiful, delicious breakfast every morning. The rooms have lockers, the beds are clean and comfortable. The kitchen is quite good too. We felt safe there, the location is great, 30 seconds walk from a grocery store. There are two nice areas outside to chill in the shade.

    It was very clean and the staff was responsive. Though on the main walkway of Tortuguero it was very quiet and everything was within a few minutes walk. The kitchen was simply equipped and I was happy that oil, salt and pepper spices were included. The cleaning staff made sure everyday I had what I needed and cleaned the floors and bathrooms as I asked. I would book here again.
