We had great 2 nights staying at the Chinita Eco Lodge. The owners are really nice. She only speeks spanish, but he also speeks good english so we always could communicate well although our spanish is very bad. They also organized a kanou tour for us including an english speaking guide, which was very great. The family room we had was very spacious and clean. The breakfast, which was included, was various and included also as much coffee as you want. You can also refill your water bottles for free, which is great. The dinner including a juice as well as a small dessert, can be booked for a fair price and was also very delicious. This lodge is located directly next to the water on San Francisco. If you want to relax, this lodge is ideal, because san francisco is not that touristic. The lodge also offers a relaxing area with nice hammits. If you want to visit tortuguero you will need to take the public boat, which costs only 1000 collones one way.

SuzannaUnited Kingdom - From UAH 1,612.96 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 1,069 reviewsThis 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.
