Cabinas Tortuguero

Nestled in a beautiful tropical garden in the heart of Tortuguero, our small and friendly hotel offers private rooms with air-conditioning and a shared dorm with fans. You’ll be close to everything — restaurants, boat docks and tour departures — making it easy to explore Tortuguero’s canals, wildlife and beaches. Relax in our garden with hammocks and seating areas, and stay connected with free Wi-Fi. We can help arrange popular activities such as canoe tours, night walks, Cerro Tortuguero hikes and seasonal turtle nesting tours. Please note: being right in the center also means weekend nights can come with music from the bar opposite. If you enjoy staying where the village life happens, you’ll love the vibe — and you’ll benefit from our special weekend rate (Fri–Sat). Travel info: Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) is about 5 hours away (road + boat connection).

Clean and spacious room

Pros: The place is very easy to find as it's near the boat stop. Although there was a lot of rain and the garden was almost a pool, the stay itself was very clean and spacious. The host was friendly during the checkin and also communication before. A good central place to stay during all your activities.

Absolutely lovely stay! Highly recommend!

Pros: Really nice place that had everything we could have hoped for. Room was clean, shower was nice, aircondition was very good, and the garden was really nice! The host helped arrange tours and transportation, which made our stay in Tortuguero perfect. Great value for money. We would definitely recommend staying here!

Cons: Wi-fi was unsteady. The “plastic” sheet below the actual sheet was a bit uncomfortable.

Great stay

Pros: Very cozy, nice space and cool to have a closet it’s rare. Free coffee which is nice, just funny to have special hours for it.

Cons: Would be nice to provide oil in the kitchen but can’t complain about anything. Just note that it can get noisy at night : parties in the village + animal sounds but we were too tired to care.

Decent accommodation in Tortuguero

Pros: Decent accommodation in the beautiful remote area of Tortuguero. Our room had an air conditioner, which was more than welcome. The breakfast was simple but nice.

Cons: The availability and communication with the lodge could be improved

Good place

Pros: Super friendly and efficient staff . Clean room, hot water shower, free coffee and thee. Garden is secured at night. Night-Noise is inevitable (in Tortuguero) but was not a big problem. Not to far from jetty.

Great budget stay!

Pros: Perfect for a budget stay, free breakfast, super helpful staff

Cons: The toilets could use a bit more love and dorms could have lamps at each bed

Matt 8/10

Pros: 100 m walk from boats, east to find. Excellent (much needed) air con! Small but cosy. Home prepared bfast. Plenty of coffee and water available. Hummingbirds hover around the garden all day. Good location, friendly staff (April). The daytime rainforest walk is interesting on your own, plenty of wildlife to spot. Turtle tours are v popular, but enough turtles to watch.
