Chalet di Tortuguero

Andrea Jerman

Loved it! I found everything perfect! The hotel is really comfortable, our room was pretty big and all of the staff simply lovely (especially Sulay really helped us with everything)

Casa Marbella was clean and comfortable, and the location is ideal! The front of Casa Marbella is on the main pedestrian street (no cars) a 10-minute walk from the National Park entrance. The back of the hotel is directly on the water with a very large, covered porch where guests eat breakfast in the morning and watch birds and river boat traffic all hours. Water taxis can pick up and drop you off directly at the hotel's dock, so there is no need to carry luggage from the public dock 2 blocks away. Best of all, Casa Marbella has its own wildlife guide, Luis, whose family has lived on Tortuguero for several generations. Luis is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about nature and speaks English. Luis starts his guided 6pm night animal walks and 5:30am morning canal boat tours of the National Park at the hotel porch/dock. This eliminates stress. You can register for Luis's guided activities at the hotel reception desk, then sit in porch chairs looking at the water while waiting for the tour to begin. I took my family (including 87-year old Mom) on 2 night walks and 2 canal explorations with Luis while staying at Casa Marbella in early February, 2024. The group sizes were pleasantly small, with 3-6 participants in the night walks and a maximum of 10 people on his canal boat. I recommend Casa Marbella very highly!

20/10, amazing place, amazing cuisine, for those who want to live a truly natural experience, surrounded by the Caribbean jungle and be attended by the best staff in the area.

I ❤️ Mr. Willis Rankin the 1st. He is so funny, nice and knows so much about Tortuguero. The bed was so comfortable and it was even a bit chilly at night with the fan on.

The staff are very friendly and helpful! The room was clean and the beds were very comfortable, with the ceiling fan we were able to sleep in the evenings when the temperatures were rising. The pool area is also in a clean condition and can be used to relax. We were able to spot birds, a small snake and 3 iguanas right on the property's premises! Overall, highly recommended.

- the location of the bungalow in the jungle; - the interior of the bungalow; - the reception staff which was so nice and so supportive. We are a French couple traveling by ourselves. We had only booked the room, with no service. The reception staff has organised everything for us, and very sympatically. - the guide, Fernando, of our boat tour, very interesting and very supportive - the lunches and diners, which are simple, but very good and very healthy.

We enjoyed the nature tours with Marvin very much. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The canal tours is what I will remember the most. The room was simple and clean.
