Hotel Tortuguero Natural

The hotel is simple but nice. Luckily there's a basic common area for when it rains. It's a short walk to the main "street".

We had a comfortable stay at Tortuguero Natural, the room was large enough with 4 beds, and the shower had good pressure. However the water is not always hot, the secret is to regulate the pressure. Hosts are discrete and will stay out of your hair unless you need something. They were kind enough to lend us umbrellas as well as offered laundry services.

A very good value, yes bugs abound in Costa Rica. There was a standing fan and a ceiling fan and a good location. I was upstairs and slept by the screen windows so I did catch the breeze. The hotel manager was Jackie and she was very helpful and accommodating

We were met at he boat and were escorted to our room. We were greeted with tropical fruit drinks. They arranged for the tour company to meet with us and tell us not only about the tours but the entire village. At first we were skeptical of being setup with the tour company but it was the perfect no hassle way of getting to know the village and book some tours. The prices and quality were the best in town. Jackie was our very sweet and friendly host. You just can't beet the value you get in this hotel!

Jose and his wife are very sweet and accommodating, and the room sufficiently comfortable for Tortuguero. You can buy beer at standard prices in the kitchen...but be aware, the "breakfast" part costs extra (and there are many other places to eat within a couple blocks).
