Hotel Serendipity Tortuguero Adults Only

We just had the most amazing time there! We had full board and took three hotel tours: the morning canal tour, afternoon Tortuguero hill tour, and night tour. All our tours were with Johnny who is extremely knowledgeable and eager to answer all of your questions. He was very enthusiastic about the wildlife and fauna, which he is studying to become a more fully certified conservationist. The food was absolutely delicious, nutritious and prettily presented. Jayleen is such a talented chef. It was so rich and plentiful that we had to skip lunch. You have two choices for each meal and you set your own time. Dinner came with beer and wine. The staff was wonderful, so personable and pleasant (shout-out to Saraj!). The rooms were super clean, water pressure and temperature were great, the AC worked, clean water in the fridge. The hotel itself is in a shantytown neighborhood, but totally safe and eye-opening about life in a small town in CR. We were there in early March, and the weather was pretty good. It rained once at night and a couple of times a bit in the morning. You must do the Jaguar Trail (right by the hotel), but do have someone at the reception help you with your required day passes. The Sea Turtle conservatory is worth visiting. Karol or Cooper at the reception arranged for us to be picked up at the port, which was helpful because at first you will be rather confused by the winding little alleys to the hotel. However, you will find your way real quickly because you just stay on the oaved sidewalks. If we come back, we will definitely stay here again.

This is a lovely hotel, the rooms were spacious and really well maintained, with everything you could need. The location of the hotel is perfect for its proximity to the town itself, and the food (breakfast and lunch) were delicious, especially the breakfasts! But the real star of the show were the staff. They simply couldn’t do enough for us, and even when we were rained in, they were on hand to help us! A real asset to the hotel! Highly recommended when in tortuguero!

This was a great hotel with exceptional staff in a wonderful location close to the town, beach and wildlife trails. The rooms were spotlessly clean and the staff couldn’t do enough for us, even doing our laundry when we came back wet as well as lending wellies for the trails. The food was excellent so would recommend an evening meal with a glass of wine. Breakfast was great. Jonnie, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and we saw lots of wildlife including. A monkey falling out of a tree into the river. The monkey was ok. Would recommend the boat tour, even if it’s raining.
