We knew we wanted to go to Tortuguero but had a hard time finding information about places there and I feel so lucky to have found La Casona. Sara and her family were so hospitable. We booked a package with her that included all of our meals, a canoe tour, a night walk and a forest hike. It was the... More

We had a lovely stay at La Casona and stayed longer than expected. Sara, her mother and the staff are sooo friendly and helpful! The room was good, and it came with a hot shower! The location is perfect: close to the center and the boats and a short walk from the ocean! Only down thing is the wifi not... More

The hostel was included in our tour to Tortuguero. We liked the place as it is located very central, close to the beach and the city. The rooms were basic but nice with hammocks in front of the rooms. The service depended very much on the persons in charge. The first day it was excellent, we were well informed about... More

The room we had was very basic, but large, with a bathroom and hot shower... as if you really need it it Tortuguero! They cleaned the room daily, even if with a little encouragement. And there is a communal space that people can use when the restaurant is closed (herratic hours!). The best thing about this place is the turtle... More

The hotel is very central and the rooms are basic and quiet. There were nice hammocks outside. However, there wasn't air conditioning which didn't help with mosquitoes. At the same time, the room was not spot cleanned. Regarding the service, we felt it would depend on the person at the front desk. There was a nice blond lady who would... More

Great locations, the staff very nice, the rooms are also quite rustic but they are very decent for such a small island, the food was good and fast. We shared a triple so it was very comfortable to stay in separate beds with the idea of being at the Caribbean.

Cabinas La Casona is an excellent place to stay in the village of Tortuguero. Rooms are basic but very clean, the showers provide nice hot water (not always possible in parts of Costa Rica) and the beds are comfortable. The location is great: it actually sits on the soccer field sideline!! and it's just a few yards from the beach... More

Good location (1 minute from the main dock, 3 minutes from the Park entrance, 30 seconds from the beach). Rooms are clean, quiet, nice and charming. Food tasty and plenty.

This hotel is the best place to stay in Tortuguguero. The price is good and the service is great! Highly recommended. Just off the beach, hammocks and plenty of tours to chose from.
