My boyfriend and I stayed at Tortuga del Mar as a part of a surf camp we booked through Rica Surf. The hotel is great! It is right on the beach in Hermosa and is within walking distance to everything in Hermosa and a short taxi ride from Jaco. The rooms were clean, quiet, and cool. The hotel itself is... More

Til and Lil are scrupulous about the upkeep of the rooms and the grounds. The place was immaculate and very attractive, clean, very comfortable. Great rooms and location. We watched the sunset and watched the surfers, and they even arranged for us to have massages on the beach under their palm trees. So glad that we weren't staying in Jaco... More

Tortuga Del Mar is hands down my favorite place to stay in Costa Rica. In fact, I don't even bother searching other places anymore because it has become a home away from home for me. I've sent friends and family to Tortuga Del Mar and all of them come back to the U.S. not only with a ton of awesome... More

We selected this place on TA reviews and it lives up to every last good word. We extended our stay an extra day and we were sad to go. Located in a quiet area of Hermosa (away from highway) and yet close to everything else in town. About a $7 cab ride to downtown Jaco. Room is exactly as advertised,... More

Second time to stay and was just as delighted as the first. You can NOT find this "Costa Rica" in the high rise hotels. This place is what Costa Rica is all about. Great rooms and very QUIET. (You have to be careful not to get a place close to a loud bar in some areas). Jungle Cafe on the... More

This is a nice quite new and very well designed small hotel directly on the beach. Kept well and very friendly. Very nice kept grounds, too. Nice small pool as well. And yes, lots of surfers. It was a good place for us to start our first two weeks ever in Costa Rica. Obviously one of the best beaches in... More

My wife and I spent three nights at The Tortuga Del Mar and couldn't be happier with our choice. All the positive reviews about the hotel are spot on. We originally booked for 2 nights but decided to stay another and felt lucky that they did have an available room for us for one more night. Very friendly owners and... More

This small, 10 room hotel is right on the beach at Hermosa. Amazing surf break right out front! Run by a very friendly German couple with great rates. I've been to Costa Rica 6 times and this is hands down the best place. Clean, modern rooms with fridge and sink and a great pool. Can't wait to come back! More

Great location right on the beach in front of the main surf breaks. Rooms are large, immaculate and very comfortable. Service is terrific. Price is very reasonable. The best spot to stay from Jaco to Pavones for sure! More
