About this property
Nestled in a beautiful tropical garden in the heart of Tortuguero, our small and friendly hotel offers private rooms with air-conditioning and a shared dorm with fans. You’ll be close to everything — restaurants, boat docks and tour departures — making it easy to explore Tortuguero’s canals, wildlife and beaches. Relax in our garden with hammocks and seating areas, and stay connected with free Wi-Fi. We can help arrange popular activities such as canoe tours, night walks, Cerro Tortuguero hikes and seasonal turtle nesting tours. Please note: being right in the center also means weekend nights can come with music from the bar opposite. If you enjoy staying where the village life happens, you’ll love the vibe — and you’ll benefit from our special weekend rate (Fri–Sat). Travel info: Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) is about 5 hours away (road + boat connection).
