The listing should state explicitly that there is no A/C, and the WiFi was really weak in the room, so I had to go to the office to get the rest of my trip booked. But the staff did give me a map to Tortuguero and explained how to get there. The room was pretty clean, but the mattress was difficult to sleep on for me. 6.1/10. For the money, I can usually find a better hostel, but the location is very helpful. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 13, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### good location I had a nice peaceful stay. tortuguero is a very special place. a bit warm and humid, but what does one expect in a rain forest. a very clean place to stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Oct 17, 2017 Disliked: Room comfort #### Durchschnittliches Hotel mit guter Lage Das Hotel ist ein typisches Motel welches nur durch seine Lage punkten kann.

You can park the car right infront of the door. Hotels.com says there is breakfast for purchase but this is not true - no breakfast at all. ##### Markus Antero ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [The Coast Beachfront Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-The-Coast-Beachfront-Hotel.h18530265.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Guanacaste-Resort-And-Spa.h2190860.Hotel-Information) > > [Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River](https://www.expedia.ca/Fortuna-Hotels-Rio-Perdido-Hotel-Thermal-River.h6371123.Hotel-Information) > > [Nosara Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Nosara-Beach-Hotel.h32722062.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Tamarindo](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Wyndham-Tamarindo.h10356916.Hotel-Information) > > [Peace Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Vara-Blanca-Hotels-Peace-Lodge.h5441851.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Hotel-Tamarindo-Diria-Beach-Resort.h1108151.Hotel-Information) > > [Lost Iguana Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Lost-Iguana-Resort-And-Spa.h1174121.Hotel-Information) > > [MARAVIDA Boutique Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Best-Western-Tamarindo-Vista-Villas.h901274.Hotel-Information) > > [Botanika Osa Peninsula Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Botanika-Osa-Peninsula.h69305784.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Liberia-Airport.h2211738.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Heliconias Nature Inn & Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Penas-Blancas-Hotels-Heliconias-Nature-Lodge.h8386216.Hotel-Information) > > [Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Bodhi-Tree-Yoga-Resort.h10650362.Hotel-Information) > > [Lapa Rios Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Lapa-Rios-Lodge.h1447895.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin](https://www.expedia.ca/Curubande-Hotels-Hotel-Hacienda-Guachipelin.h1122531.Hotel-Information) > > [Refugio Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Surf-House.h84012769.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue River Resort & Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Guayabo-Hotels-Blue-River-Resort-Hot-Springs.h3969358.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Jaco Beach All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Best-Western-Jaco-Beach-All-Inclusive-Resort.h54703.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boutique Casa Del Rio](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Del-Rio.h27603041.Hotel-Information) > > [Borinquen Thermal Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Canas-Dulces-Hotels-Borinquen-Thermal-Resort.h1155801.Hotel-Information) > > [Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Jardin-Del-Eden-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h2818928.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Kura-Boutique-Hotel.h5637504.Hotel-Information) > > [The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Atenas-Hotels-The-Retreat-Costa-Rica-Wellness-Resort-Spa.h10447279.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Villas-Playa-Samara-Beach-Front-Resort.h888268.Hotel-Information) > > [Crocs Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Crocs-Resort-Casino.h8741357.Hotel-Information)
