Set on the beach in Costa Rica’s Tortuguero National Park, El Icaco Tortuguero offer Caribbean Sea views from the terrace. You can observe the protected Green Turtle laying its eggs nearby.
“This hotel is in a lovely beachside location, really easy to walk to from the riverside of Tortuguero. We enjoyed many walks along the beach in search of baby turtles during our stay. The room was really clean and tidy. I would recommend going into the town for breakfast, we found some great little places, but the coffee at Icaco is great and the dining area is a lovely place to sit and wake up in the morning. Overall, very relaxing.”

“Small, intimate hotel in the centre of things to do. Rooms are in twin bungalows, all close to the main building. Full board on the basis of a menu offering a good choice. Staff is very friendly. Next to the hotel is still an unspoilt piece of rainforest with lots of blue jeans poison dart frogs ! Well organised boat trips into the national park. Do bring a poncho because despite of the so-called dry season, we were treated with 2 days of bad weather with almost incessant rain - too bad but did not spoil the experience.”

Surrounded by an extensive garden and located 200 metres from Tortuguero National Park, Hostal y Cabinas Tortuguero features a terrace with hammocks and free Wi-Fi throughout.
“Nehle, the friendly owner, was very helpful in organizing a fantastic canoe tour for us and always on hand to assist with anything we needed including great restaurant recommendations. She has a couple of very well-behaved pets and we particularly loved playing with the kitten. Rooms are wood cabin style in keeping with Tortuguero. Basic with fan and ensuite bathroom as described on Booking.com, extremely clean, bright room with fresh linen and towels. New towels were happily supplied when we requested. After two days we were offered house-keeping (full room clean, new sheets etc..) which we were not expecting for such a budget price. Each room has it's own hammock facing the stunning green garden and we were lucky enough to spot a pair of hummingbirds feeding early one morning. Local art on the walls just adds to the special vibe of the place. We slept very well and had no issues with dogs barking in the night. We did hear some ambient noise from neighbours during the day which added to the local experience and Cabinas Tortuguero is so close to the jungle you can sometimes hear howler monkeys in the distance which is a real treat. Perfect location, 2 minutes walk from the boat dock, 250m to the huge beach and just 200m from the entrance to the national park. Handy book exchange (especially if you speak German!) and boule to take to the beach. The breakfast was delicious and very filling, eggs, fresh bread and fruit. To top this all of Nehle also offers free coffee all day long from early in the morning which was greatly appreciated! Nehle is a trained masseuse and yoga instructor so I booked a singing bowl massage on my second day which just added to the relaxation at just $25 for a full hour. The free wifi worked surprisingly well in our room. Very highly recommended. We had a wonderful stay and really felt part of the family.”

Ray Taylor, the owner, was very helpful and friendly. He used to be a guide and can provide suggestions on what to do (when to do canoe tours / turtle tours).
