This was a fun visit. I loved feeling like I was on an island. There weren't any cars. It was easy to walk to the park and plenty of restaurants to choose from. We ate at the Patio too. The food was amazing. We had a great stay. We did take a canoe tour through the National Forest area and saw lots of animals, birds, etc. The turtle sanctuary was interesting. I would love to see the turtle run--usually in June. I liked where the Patio is located right on the dock where we were taken and picked up by water taxi.

Nestled at the end of the town San Francisco, Chinitas lodge is a fantastic place to stay if you like local, quiet environment with animals at your doorstep. We were able to see over 5 Toucans just by walking through the local town, and plenty of other birds, frogs and mammals. It is a taxi boat to tortuguero itself (10 minutes) but the local feel and lovely hostsin Chinitas lodge made it worth the stay. You can also book all tours from the reception of the lodge, as they have a great link with the main tour guides in tortuguero.

All hostels in Tortuguero

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location on the side of the football pitch, 2 minutes from the beach and 2 minutes from the dock. Welcoming and friendly, kids loved relaxing in the hammock and the hostel run canoe trip

    This is a hostel and we had private room with ensuite. It's basic, as expected. You can use a well equipped kitchen, great if you are on a budget. It's right in Tortuguero close to many restaurants and mini market. There's a garden to relax in and a veranda with hammock. Very quiet at night. You can book tours which were great, we did canals in canoe, day walk and night walk (highlight). You can do self guided walk too either in the park or just along a path from the village to the airstrip.

    If you want to feel at home in a beautiful place like Tortuguero, then Doña Marina will make sure you do. I stayed for 7 nights and I could've stayed for more. Doña Marina will help you with any of your questions and will book any tour for quickly and safely. She's an overall great person. The place itself is a great hostel to stay in and relax after a day of exploring the amazing place Tortuguero is.

    Staff were really helpful, helped us navigate the local boats and even let us borrow boots. The setting is lovely with a very relaxed feel with great views from the platform. Great location just away from the main village and felt very safe.
