Staff are very helpful and there's housekeeping every day. I like the idea of having tea and coffee ready at 5:30 before going to an early tour. The convenience of pick-up and drop off at Casa Marbella dining area/ lounge chair for your boat ride back to La Pavona parking lot is a big plus.

Feel like family at Casa Marbella
We discovered that we LOVE Casa Marbella, one of the highlights of our visit to Costa Rica this time! Family owned and run, one of the oldest hotels in Tortugero, the Casa Marbella staff provides friendly, expert, and excellent customer service (boat taxi pick up at the airport, guided tours by boat and in the preserve, etc.) The hotel is small, right on the river, and quiet. We loved staying here and definitely would go back.

This property is in a great location and offers boat tours in the morning. We liked the hotel except there may have been an issue with the water we didn't ask why it only seemed to offer a cold shower. Not sure if it had to do with the electrical outages they had while we were visiting.

The options of hotels in tortoguero is not much.. there is virtually no Airbnbs .. casa marabella is the perfect place.. very simple ! The location is beyond perfect! And they have free breakfast and coffee which really is a plus ! To get there is a whole different story !! But an awesome adventure.. you have to arrive in la Pavona.. parking people will greet you! They know you’re coming because casa Marabella had talked to them already.. You have to pay for both parking and the boat two separate companies/people.the lady that greeted us there her name was Gina and she was very sweet and helpful! After you pay parking and the boat ride you wait at the restaurant… your boat will arrive then off to the river jungle cruise ! Basically like Disney ride but real ! We spotted a crocodile was laying around and the boat guy slowed down for us to take photos. They will drop you at casa Marabella right on the dock you barely have to walked 7 steps ! Which is another plus !! Make sure you book the boat tour to go see the park! It is a must ! If you don’t why even make it all the way to to tortoguero! I booked it through the hotel and the dude that works at the hotel took us ! It was amazing ! He knew his stuff well! We did the 5:50 AM and it was just phenomenal not crowded and perfect ! After arriving we at the hotel and decided to walk back to turtoguero we rented rain boots from a lady there for 4 dollars ! Trust me you’d need them !

Nice hotel with a great view
Hotel has a fantastic view that you can enjoy throughout the day and where you eat breakfast, which was also very good (it varies every day, e.g., pancakes, scrambled eggs). The room mostly has everything that you need (no safe). Our room specifically was directly next to the Main Street, so it sometimes was noisy but nothing extreme. Would definitely stay here again.

Front dock boat service
To put things in cotext, I live in Denver so am not used to humidity. We were in Tortuguero in August, which is the rainy season so it wa s hot and humid (think mid-80's for both). Casa Marbella is .delightful hotel. They had a staff person greet us at La Pavona, which is the boat station to get to Tortuguero. The boat ride was a blast and took us directly to the hotel. They were there to greet us and check us in. Note that if you book through any other site aside from their own, you will need to pay in cash, so be prepared! Most sites mention that few places in Tortuguero take credit cards...the hotel and the tours we took were cash only but some of the restaurants did take credit cards. Our room was good sized by Costa Rican standards. There is no air conditioning, which seems fairly common. They did supply 2 powerful fans which helped but I was melting. I think our sink leaked a bit because the bathroom floor was always soaking wet, which didn't help the humidity issue. The included breakfast was great and excellent portions. Service was responsive and even provided breakfast a it early on a day we had to leave beforw the usual service time.

Really a nice place to stay. Very close to everything. They have their own deck so you can just relax. Breakfast was served with fresh fruits, bread and eggs. Next day we had pancakes. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

We stayed here as a family with 2 kids for a night in the room overlooking the river and it was just a very pleasant experience. The hotel has its own dock and is very close to the beach and the national park entrance. They also offer guided tours and Victor was very knowledgeable with a super quiet electric motor boat. The breakfast they offered was delicious tropical fruits with pancakes made fresh in the kitchen. The receptionist and staff were very helpful and the place is clean and just perfect for families. We would definitely stay here again if we visited again.

You are in the jungle, all is basic
It is in the village, the hotel is very basic. Breakfast has no options, one day pancake & one day eggs with no vegetables. The maintenance is very good the staff worked all the time to keep the place clean and tide. I don't recomend to take their night tour to see the turtules, the guid had very basic knowledge.

Only stayed for one night. Transport from La Pavona was straight to their jetty (we used one of the many collectivos). Check in/check out easy. One choice breakfast (fruit and pancakes). Helpful manager who made phone cals for us. Used this for canoe tours and visiting the National Park. A no-nonsense, cheap accommodation with all necessities provided (but only just!) Somewhat noisy at night (dog barking, people talking loudly from 3 am).

When we arrived by car, we were on a list and greeted by a Casa Marbella staff member who showed us where to park and which boat to get on. We had a room on the street side, which others said was noisy, but we did not notice it too much. The only downside was that we arranged our tours through the hotel and they steered us to a motorized boat tour even though we had asked to go on a canoe tour. They made it sound like that was what was offered in the national park, but when we got on the tour we saw lots of other canoe tours. Also the guide was not told that we had signed up for the night tour, but he was there and did it anyway and it was good.
