Apartamentos Caimán Tortuguero

Pros: Great place to visit and the owner lived next door, so was on hand He was super helpful and very welcoming

Cons: We didn’t realise we needed to take a boat to get to the apartment which cost $25, as did the car park, while we stayed on the island

Great value for money!

Pros: Everything was great! Apartments are modest, but have everything you need. Bed is super comfortable, the apartment is clean and you can listen to the nature sounds around you, while staying in the pueblo. Carlos is the best host ever! He helped us get the tours planned and we saw over 20 species in just one day!

Cons: Only thing that could improve would be to have a hair dryer.

Bravo!!!

Pros: The location within the village gave a real feel of being in the centre of the action and connected tot the hard-working people of tortuguero. Carlos is the best host you can wish: always able to help or come with nice stories ;and lovely empanada’s. Stay here if you come to tortuguero!

Carlos is the best!

Pros: As everyone says, Carlos is the best!!! From the communication to the attention, Carlos ensured our first time to Tortuguero was a great experience. He had a river boat agent, Christian, be on the lookout for us at La Pavona to start the journey. Carlos met us at the Tortuguero dock, helped us to the apartment, and welcomed us with his empanadas. Carlos introduced us to an excellent guide, a born local and educated naturalist, Boa, who provided a fantastic canoe tour and park tour that were insightful, educational, and personal. Boa also speaks excellent English and is fluent in Spanish, French, and Japanese. We were also lucky to see 3 giant green turtles nesting on the beach with a night guide. Carlos and his wife lived right next door and provided daily attention above expectations. The apartment had great AC and all of our basic needs were met. A family friendly area that felt very safe. Thank you Carlos!

Super stay in Tortuguero, close to nature and all the facilities of the town. Carlos was a great host!

Pros: Fantastic host! Showed us the monkeys and even offered to let us feed them. Lots of helpful advice. Lots of space and flexible with check in and out. Carlos was wonderful.

Cons: Information about ferries and times could be sent in advance to help travellers help their journey.

Pros: The apartment is clean, has air conditioner, kitchen and possibility to wash clothes. The host Carlos is very friendly and super helpful. Check in was possible at 7 am. Carlos also organized several tours

Cons: The apartment is really tiny, especially the bathroom The window overlooking the big wall and basically no view/ light

Good value for money and excellent host

Pros: The host was very friendly and helpful, showing us where the local shop and drinking water supply was. Anything extra we needed for the kitchen he provided. Cleaned the apartment and bedding during our stay. He offered many other things and was very helpful all round. The property is in the heart of the local community and very close to the national park entrance, as well as an easy stroll into town or to the beach.

Cons: Regular power cuts in town that were not the fault of the host. Laundry area needs attention. Noisy A/C in one of the bedrooms so couldn't be used. Thin walls so if you get noisy neighbours you here EVERYTHING!

Honeymoon at Apartmentos Caiman

Pros: My wife and I visited Tortuguero for 3 nights and we stayed at Apartmentos Caiman. Carlos was a fantastic host who went above and beyond. He offered us transport from San Jose and his son Steven greeted us at Tortuguero. The apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable. It has a great location as it's so close to the jungle, beach and town. It is a great viewpoint for wildlife with toucans in the trees in the morning and monkeys in the evening. It was a great escape from the heat because it has wifi and air conditioning. Carlos and Steven made us both feel like family. They arranged tours for us and transport to our next location. I will be recommending Apartmentos Caiman to my friends and family.

Cons: Nothing. Nada. It was one of our favorite places we visited.

Higlhly recommended
