Liked: Very helpful staff with great recommendations for tours.

Disliked: Breakfast seemed a little pricey for what we got, but food in Tortuguero is generally a bit expensive, so it wasn't really more than we would have paid elsewhere.

Liked: Callixto and Maybel were the best hosts and nicest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. They went far above and beyond our expectations and helped us immensely with anything we needed. The rooms were clean, comfortable and had ensuites. Great breakfast too! The hostel was also right on the beach, in the lovely Tortuguero. I would definitely recommend the Canal tours - and Turtle tours when in high season. All in all a great getaway, thanks to the hosts Maybel and Callixto!

Liked: Well, it is more like a hotel than a hostel. However, the staff is really nice and helpful and it is located right at the beach. Oh and by the way, there is no bank in Tortuguero so stock up on cash before you arrive.

Disliked: Lisa left no negative feedback.
