We just spent four night in hotel LasTortugas. It's a charming open air hotel. The swiming pool is shaped like a turtle and a nice place to be after a day on the beach. And if you have a sweet tooth try out their amazing apple pie. It's better than any of our grandma's. We can't wait to go back..... more

My husband and I spent 8 days at Las Tortugas the first week in May. We prepaid via Paypal, so check-in was a breeze and were promptly shown to our room upon arrival. We stayed in room 1, a very simple room: King size bed, mini fridge, and bathroom. The room was very clean, and remained so throughout our stay... more

We stayed in the apartments at Las Tortugas and loved it! The room had a large hot water shower, big bed, and A/C. We also had our own enclosed patio with hammocks and tables. It was very clean and comfortable. Our room even had a small library where people had left books for others to read. Didn't see any monkeys... more

We stayed in Rancho 7, it was clean, basic and was perfect for our needs - even had racks to store your boards on! The location of... more

We stayed at las tortugas hotel in one of the appartment up the hill (Faro up). The appartment was big with a kitchen (you could make your own breakfast) sofas downstairs and a bedroom upstairs in the observtory. The view was just amazing and the sunset just unforgettable. The appartment is a 5 minutes walk to the beach and main... more

Delightfully pristine, low-key, and beautiful. The staff was friendly, food was great (especially breakfast). Near enough to Tamarindo if you just have to do something touristy. more

My friends and I were looking for a great eco-destination within Costa Rica, and initially were impressed with Hotel Las Tortugas, having read about the supposed work the owner has done to protect the turtles. After a few days there, we wondered why the vibe was so different from other places we've stayed at in the country (really off in... more
