Even though Hotel Las Tortugas was more expensive than our other lodgings in Costa Rica, I made reservations here because it seemed to be the 'go to' hotel for the turtle nesting tours. The room wasn't dated. It was just plain shabby. The mattress was lumpy and it felt like it was full of sand. The bathroom was so out... More

I spend three to six months in Costa Rica each year and am always searching for places that make me feel "right at home". There are several nice hotels in Playa Grande, but there is only one that offers the "total package"......nice rooms and apartments, an awesome staff, a full service restaurant with an excellent menu and reasonable prices, all...

This was my first time at Hotel Las Tortugas! I work in a high pressure job where it is hard to mentally detach! I have been on many vacations -- including many luxury resorts with my company, and I have to say that this was the FIRST time that I was on vacation physically and mentally immediately! I was greeted... More

We only stayed here one night to do the turtle tour at the national park, but wished we were staying longer. The property is more like the beach house that belongs to your friends' hippie parents. Our room was on the small side and sparsely furnished with an aging bathroom but was clean and had a beautiful spacious balcony that... More

I did not stay at Hotel las Tortugas...seemed nice enough...gorgeous beachfront location... the food however was not great. Although the service was great, it was very slow and the food was lackluster and too expensive. More

This hotel is the best place for those wanting the real Costa Rica beach experience. Play in the waves in the morning and then retreat to the poolside hammocks in the afternoon. Follow that with dinner on the deck and a late night tour to see the leather back turtles and you've done it all! Staff are excellent help and... More

We have been staying at Las Tortugas for many years and cannot recommend it highly enough! The accommodation is simple but clean and charming with fabulous touches like private courtyards with hammocks and lounges off many rooms. The pool area is the perfect place to relax with loungechairs for sun worshippers or a covered tiki area with hammocks hanging from... More

I spent two nights at this hotel. I went there specifically to see the leatherback seaturtle nesting. When planning my trip, I decided to spend just the minimum amount of time there, as there were many other things I wanted to visit of the country. When I had to leave, I didn't want to. My room in the hotel (one... More
