casa chilamates

Excellent location surrounded by fabulous wildlife.

Pros: The location was excellent. In a quieter part of the village. Lots of animals to see in the trees such as howler and spider monkeys and sloths.

Perfect stay with great guides and tours available.

Pros: Superb location - secluded & we were able to spot a spider monkey & an iguana right outside. Rodrigo and all of his staff were exceptional.

Cons: The roof is a bit open and a bar flew into the room but all part of staying in the forest.

Highly recommended!

Pros: Already the arrival was very pleasant: We were welcomed by Gabriel who picked us up from the boat and walked us to our house. The house was great! Lovely decorations, super clean, good wifi, kitchen equipped with everything you need, quiet and with green all around and right at the boarder of the National Park. Gabriel and his colleague Rodrigo gave us a little walking tour around the village with recommendations for restaurants and info/history about the town with a visit to the Turtle Museum. They were such great guys that we decided to do a Canoe tour with them the next morning and also that we enjoyed very much. Tortuguero is amazing and peaceful with its infinite beach, the canals & the park with its amazing wildlife - definitely one of our highlights of our Costa Rica trip.

Comfortable house amongst nature and great hosts

Pros: Casa Chilamates is a lovely house set amongst the nature of Tortuguero where you can enjoy the beauty of the natural surroundings full of wildlife. Rodrigo and his wife are perfect, friendly hosts. They live in the neighbouring property and are easy to communicate with at all times. Set on the edge of the village right next to the national park. We saw several monkeys and wildlife from the terrace. We booked excellent trips with Rodrigo who runs the Trips Navitos guided tours. Local guide Gabriel met us at the house for each trip and was an enthusiastic guide throughout our stay. Tortuguera was our favourite stay in Cost Rica and Rodrigo made our trip so memorable. There are plenty of bars and restaurants in town so didn't need to use the kitchen facilities. A place to make great memories.

Pros: The location was perfect and the house reasonably well-equipped. The hammocks were good to relax in.

Cons: Indoor chairs were not very comfortable but ok for a short stay

Perfect

Pros: Everything. Very nice people, everything very clean and direct support when we had a question.

Sweet looking, well equipped and spacious property, slightly let down by the massive gaps around the windows

Pros: Spacious, well equipped kitchen, clean. Provided umbrellas. Excellent communication for co-ordinating arrival boat journey. A/C in one bedroom

Cons: We visited in the rainy season. All the window frames were designed with a 2cm gap around them - seems barmy in such a humid climate adjacent to a rainforest with standing water all around. This led to it being 1. Difficult to exclude mosquitoes (although they did provide effective mosquito nets), and 2. it meant that the one bedroom with A/C ended up with a wet floor and walls as it was difficult for the unit to dehumidify as it was effectively open to the humid environment outside. Could do with A/C in both bedrooms.

Amazing stay in Tortuguero

Pros: The property is very clean, the beds very comfortable, the Wi-Fi works excellently. The interior decoration is very good style (if I am not mistaken, many decorations are produced by Rodrigo and his wife). The house, is located slightly outside the center of the village at the edge of the jungle: at night, the sounds of nature are fantastic! Special mention goes to Rodrigo, his wife and Arturo, our hiking guide. Great people, extremely kind and helpful. Such friendliness is a rare commodity these days! I highly recommend the proposed tours, Arturo is extremely knowledgeable and will make you experience unique moments!

Cons: Nothing, everything was perfect!

Great property on the edge of the national park

Pros: The location was great, right on the edge of the rainforest and the beach, national park and restaurants easy to reach. The property has many large windows which can be opened up to make it feel like you are right in the middle of the jungle. Staff were very friendly and check in was easy.

Cons: Nothing.

Un vrai paradis

Pros: Génial ! Parfait sur tous les plans : accueil, logement, emplacement Que du bonheur 💕 Et pour couronner le tout : singes araignée au petit déjeuner.

Cons: Rien
