We loved everything about our stay at Manatus. The staff was fantastic, always willing to please. Considering the limited number of options and amenities that are available in the Tortuguero area, we were very pleased to stay at a hotel that included delicious meals, multiple canal tours, and daily visits from howler monkeys right outside our door. There are only 12 bungalows which was a perfect fit for us, not crowded and plenty of personal attention from the staff. The rooms themselves are very comfortable. The beds are firm and comfy and the A/C blows cold - a luxury we were very glad to have in July. There was a TV but we did not use it - the sound of the howlers was entertainment enough! Depending on what time of year you visit, consider splurging for the late-night turtle nesting tour led by Manatus staff. We were there as the season (July-October) was just starting, but were lucky enough to see a large turtle crawl across the beach and enter the water after laying her eggs, and then just when we thought we were done we were alerted to another one that had just gotten started. With the guide using a red light for minimal distraction, we were able to watch from just a step away as she laid her eggs in the nest she'd dug. Then she spent a long time attempting to cover it all up, no easy task for a large and likely exhausted turtle. Quite an amazing scene, and we were there to see it!

What a beautifully kept small hotel with amazing service . The experience starts with a 1 1/2 hour boat ride thought the rain forest canals and rivers to get to the hotel . There are only 12 rooms on the site all very clean . Being so small the staff are very attentive. The tours of the rain forest on their boats are incredible, very small groups of people and the ranger with you is very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend this boutique hotel
