Valverde Tortuguero

The rooms were clean, the food was very good, the staff was amazing! Our guide on the excursions was an official guide set up by the hotel. His name is Jairo and he was amazing. We csnnot say enough about how good he was. Fluent english and Spanish and his knowledge and expertise was astounding!

We had the most amazing lodging at Valverde, Room 1, with the private pool right on the water. The room was comfortable and clean. The staff, especially Rocio, were so attentive and friendly. The grounds were well kept. The availability of the shuttle to and from Tortuguero town worked perfectly for us. We booked a 6am canoe trip on our second day and we saw lots of birds and a cayman. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The meals were mostly good with only one exception, the beef fajitas. The meat was so tough and very difficult to chew. Every other meal, including breakfast, was great. And the location was perfect for us -- not in the heart of the town but very close to be quiet and peaceful.

Attentive staff. Clean property. Great local guides for adventures booked thru the hotel.

Nice small hotel, clean, quiet. Staff is good and they try to go the extra mile for you.

Loved it!! We stayed in a "Deluxe Tent" which far exceeded our expectations. The room was freshly renovated, with a wrap around porch, and rocking chairs, along with a jacuzzi and outdoor shower. Monkeys played in the trees overhead. The food at the resort was better than anywhere in town (the cooks in the kitchen were amazing!). The tours were good and the host at the front desk was there all day from the time we came to breakfast to our last night tour to see the turtles. We felt well cared for and very welcomed by the staff. Highly recommend!!
