Cottages in Tortuguero

I'm so glad having booked Casa Chilamate 2.0 for 3N which - together with the tours by Arturo from TripsNativos - was THE very highlight of two weeks travelling across CR. Casa 2.0 means there was a new bungalow in a well maintaned garden, equipped with everything one would need including kitchen facilities, good A/C and ventilator. I loved that the property is on the edge of the village, and next to the Nationsl Park. Means living among locals, without the tourists noises from the walking street, but with a group of monkeys as neighbors living in the tree 2 meters next to the bungalow, roaming on the patio roof, sound of birds, and the last morning even the paw prints of a Jaguar at the tiles infront of the door from a nightly visit! I was also welcomed by a fruit bowl of oranges and bananas which I much appreciated. The location is also a perfect start for tours and excursions in the beautiful nature surrounding Tortuguero. I can highly recommend to rent a guide from TripsNativos (run by Casa Chilamates), try to get Arturo as a guide. He was an absolutely fab, intelligent, enthusiastic but humble guy. By booking a tour with TripsNativos you also support the local music school for kids, where parts of the tour earnings are donated to. Last but not least: While I didn't met the owners of Casa Chilamates in person during my stay, the messaging via booking.com was perfect, and their friends/caretakers of the house were so lovely people, worth an extra visit just to meet them again. Would I return, and recommend to friends? Absolutely, 100%.

Location, animals wondering through the lot. Gorgeous, lush and green of nature. Awesome and friendly staff.

We chose Casa del Delfines for its great location and the fabulous view of the water. It's amazing that you are right on the main street yet you close the gate to the street and the busyness of Tortuguero is forgotten. We enjoyed preparing our own food in the well equipped and open air kitchen and enjoyed dining or relaxing while overlooking the water. We loved watching the boats and the birds on the river. The bedrooms are air conditioned and comfortable. The host, Rodrigo, was wonderful in always making sure we had everything we needed for a great time in Tortuguero. He arranged guided trips and his guides are very welled informed and native to the community. Let Rodrigo arrange your tours as he will make everything catered to your interests. Restaurants and cafes are plentiful and the grocery store is right across the street if you choose to cook your own meals. A wonderful place for an extended stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our ten days at Casa los Delfines. We didn't want to leave, and we look forward to returning again.

On the border of the Wildlife Refuge, full facilities, great owner/operator. Location relevant to shops, food and guides excellent.

quiet right on the futball green and beach completely clean nice little casa super comfy beds would be perfect for 2 couples / although one room has so many beds you can barely move great for a huge local family with kids too complete kitchen with fridge

Fantastic location, great lodging. A true pleasant surprise
