Casa Artavia

Great location with lots of beds and lovely host

Pros: Location really good and central to tortugeuro. The house has Wi-Fi which was great. The air conditioning in the room it was situated in worked perfectly. The host provided towels for us which was very appreciated and left fresh bananas and mangoes.

Cons: There could have been more cutlery for the number of guests we had staying. The shower was a little cold which we didn’t mind as it was very hot outside and the pressure wasnt great. We all really enjoyed our stay and these things didn’t impact how much we liked the accomodation :)

Big central house great for large families, amazing owner (Lali)

Pros: Very welcoming owner Idalia (Lali) is also an excellent night guide for turtle tours. She is very helpful also with arranging different kinds of transport or services, and even kindly did our laundry. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook every day, and one room had a welcome AC unit. There are so many beds in this house, you could comfortably host a VERY large family!

Cons: No hot water for showers, but that is a common situation in remote areas like this. The electricity and internet do go-out frequently in this area due to storms and its overall remoteness, but that isn’t the fault of this property, it’s a general issue that affects all of Tortuguero.

Lovely visit to this beautiful side of the country exploring the jungle

Pros: Authenticity to culture, location was great, lots of beds, air conditioning in bedroom, kitchen came in handy

Cons: Ants in kitchen so keep your food in containers

The deal is unbeatable.

Pros: The location is excellent. The vib is local and authentic.

Cons: AC only in one bedroom. No hot water.

Geniales para familias

Pros: La ubicación es formidable delante de un campo de fútbol y la playa!

Cons: El baño le falta actualizar.

Great value, brilliant location and lovely host. Just what our family of 5 wanted!

Pros: Lali the host is really lovely and made us welcome. She lives next door and also guided our turtle tour. She communicated really well with us about arrival times. We were met at the boat and taken to the house and shown around (via Pura Vida tours, who we booked a turtle watch & canoe tour with - also recommended). The property has a great location on the edge of the football field and within a short walk of everything (though Tortuguero is small - so everything’s easy to get to!) The kitchen is basic (3 electric rings for cooking) but fine to make a simple meal. The aircon in one big bedroom was very welcome, and the Wi-Fi worked fine. Altogether a great base to explore the park & wildlife of Tortuguero.

Cons: The kitchen could be better stocked - a sharp knife, a bit more cutlery - but this was no big issue. The shower is weak - but again, it works well enough and would not deter me from staying here again.

Pros: Close to the beach, trails to national park and restaurants. Everyone was friendly and welcoming.

Cons: Lots of beds so great choice for large families.

Pros: Die Lage am Fußballfeld ist ganz praktisch. Ruhig und fast direkt am Meer.

Cons: Das Haus müsste ein bisschen in Schuss gesetzt werden und wir hatten Tiere auf dem Dach.

Pros: Super schönes kleines Haus mit allem was man braucht. Die Betten waren sehr gemütlich und die Lage ideal mit Blick auf ein großes Fußballfeld, dahinter direkt das Meer. Wie bekamen Bananen geschenkt und die Familie ist sehr nett und hilft bei allem, was man braucht. Große Empfehlung, wenn man sich wie zuhause fühlen möchte!

Pros: L'emplacement est super, face au terrain de foot. Nos enfants ont pu rencontrer d'autres enfants pour partager des parties de foot. De plus il y a de magnifiques oiseaux se mettent sur les arbres à côté. Nos hôtes ont été à l'écoute et se sont montrés très disponible.
