Where to Stay
Hotels in Tortuguero Village
Tortuguero has no roads — you arrive by boat and stay in a car-free jungle village on the edge of Tortuguero National Park. These are our recommended partner hotels, both steps from the canals, beach, and tour docks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to book the hotel before transport?
We recommend booking transport first (La Pavona boat or private transfer), then your hotel. We can help coordinate both in one WhatsApp message.
How many nights should I stay?
Two nights (2N/3D) is the minimum for turtle season or the combo tour. Three nights gives you time for canoe, canal, and a free morning in the village.
Are meals included?
Hotel Serendipity packages often include breakfast and dinner. El Deseo offers premium dining options. Ask when booking your package.
Can you pick me up at my hotel for tours?
Yes — all our tours depart from the village; your guide meets you at your hotel or the main dock.
Room reservations are handled on each hotel's website. Book tours and transport here on Tortuguero.net.
