“An unforgettable place to stay.”
This was the most amazing experience. Staying in the rainforest was just what we hoped. The guides wete excellent, especially Carlos whose knowledge of wildlife and the area was amazing. We loved exploring the area by boat and kayak and visiting a local farm. We saw so many birds and animals with the help of the guides and managed to get some great photos. The staff were super helpful and made our stay really special. The room was spacious and comfortable with everything we needed. The food was excellent and we particularly enjoyed the breakfasts.

“Disappointing”
Good location but it had been raining heavily so some of the jungle trails were closed and other activities were not available

“Best place to stay at Tortuego NP.”
It is a perfect resort, which has fulfilled our expectations. A lovely place - not on the main road, as you need to plan with a 1-1,5h boat trip (eg from Pavona with Pavona Jungle Expeditions - a fast & good service), but once you are there, you are in the middle of Tortuguero National Park. We enjoyed a morning guided boat trip to discover the park and attended a „turtle nesting“ evening offer (a very unique experience, which comes with a price of about 90 USD p.p. - well, there are not many places in the world, who offer such wildlife wonders). By our own - with a free boat transfer from hotel to Atlantic beach - we were lucky see a few young turtle hatching. Food and service was good - as in all Böëna resorts - also, thanks to the excellent roam service! On top, we liked an initiative of the hotel, who offered trash bags: we only walked 10 min at the beach und the big 100l bag was filled with plastic waste…

“Incredible experience with amazing customer service and beautiful rooms”
The property was really modern and the service was incredible! The staff couldn’t do more for you and they went above and beyond. The tours they offered were incredible also! We went on our honeymoon and it was an amazing experience - we couldn’t recommend more!
