Top Cariari Hotel Reviews

Tortuga Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Every member of the staff was amazing. Everyone was welcoming and seemed genuinely happy to make my stay the best I could possibly be. The food was delicious. the tours were personal and led by very knowledgeable guides. If you don’t have time to do all of the activities, and if you’re there for nature, I recommend skipping the jungle hike to the top of mountain. It’s no more than a walk up a bunch of steps to a lookout point."

Mawamba Lodge

8/10 Good

"We came from Canada and spent 3 nights here in one of their bungalows. So nice to have the AC! Breakfast buffet (with made to order eggs) was good, all the staff were amazing and very helpful. So many lizards on the property and the turtles were nesting and hatching right out front of the lodge! Town was only a short walk away. The boat ride in and out was an adventure in itself! Stay here, you won’t regret it"

Casa Marbella

10/10 Excellent

"9/10!! Great staff. Good breakfast. Amazing views from the deck. Conveniently located downtown Tortuguero. The tour guide, Luis, we had was great. I highly recommend Casa Marbella, and their tours!"

Valverde Glamping & Ecolodge

10/10 Excellent

"Very special hotel in the middle of the jungle. Clean, beautiful and amazing staff working there. We had the best time ever"

Hotel Suerre

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente hotel"

El Lugar Hotel & Nature Reserve Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"The best resort and experience in Costa Rica - everything was perfect from start to finish, the drive up, greeting, staff service, facilities, the room, the restaurant, the horse back riding, the tranquility- this is not an “Add to my list” it is a “Must do Now” type of world class experience! Book now"

Hotel Pura Natura Beachfront Tortuguero

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at this hotel are nothing short of incredible. They go out of their way to make sure their guests are comfortable and taken care of. We did all the tours with their partner Tuanis Tours and found the guides knowledgeable and fun. All the tours went on a little longer because the guides were determined to make sure we saw all animals possible. They even made the tours enjoyable the few times we got caught in the rain. The hotel was also super accommodating and helpful when a storm changed our return travel plans. Also the location is prime, the hangout space by the beach so tranquil. And it’s really great value for the price. Highly recommend booking and using them to organize all your time in Tortuguero"

Hotel El Bambú

8/10 Good

"Tienes que tener cuidado, encontramos chinchas en la almohada y lo reportamos y nos cambiaron de habitación, el desayuno es a la carta, no puedes comer otra cosa según el plato"

Pachira Lodge

8/10 Good

"The hotel is close to the Tortuguero NP which means you will probably need to get a boat to get there. Once there it is a beautiful resort with a series of cabins connected by paths. The place is teeming with life. As soon as we arrived a group of spider monkeys started playing on the path to our cabin, right in front of us. You can book many activities at the front desk. We did the canal by boat, went to see the green turtles lay eggs at the beach and a night walk to spot some animals. They also have a large pool and restaurant and bars. The one reason why I am not giving it a top score is because the cabins were pretty basic. They were clean, but matresses could have been more comfortable. The bathroom had a shower with all the basic toiletries. There was no TV, fridge or air conditioning. Luckily for us, it was not extremely hot during our stay or otherwise it would have been impossible to sleep. On the plus side it had a small terrace where you could sit and enjoy the jungle around you. Breakfast was served everyday in the main restaurant. It was good and there was plenty to choose from, with cold and hot options. We had dinner in the restaurant as well. It was buffet style with a limited number of options to choose from, but enough for the two nights we spent there. Nevertheless, I think it is one of the best options to stay near Tortuguero and enjoy all the nature around you."
