I loved this hotel! Location is excellent, one of the best in Tortuguero owing to it's proximity to the beach. It's a short walk to the national park and the shops but far enough away to not feel on top of the more touristy part of town and very quiet at night, truly relaxing. The hotel it's self is clearly... More

I will start with the obvious. El Icaco is a great value for the money. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. Water was not available at all times of the day but this is because of a shortage on the island. As we were there a new water pump/well was being installed for use only by this property. The... More

We really enjoyed our stay at the B&B El Icaco. The rooms were very clean and the employees nice and helpful. The hiking tour they offered was more a promenade than a hiking tour, but we saw some animals (snakes, spiders, monkeys..). Only the fact that the water was not running during the day was a little bit unpleasant (as... More

Very nice accomodations right near the beach. Rooms are simple and minimal, but clean and perfectly adequate. No air conditioning but the fans were plenty to keep cool at night. A short walk to the town center. They serve a free breakfast each morning and it was delicious!! Much better than a typical continental breakfast. Service was fantastic. Victor took... More

We didn't stay here but they were very friendly and understanding that we had to cancel and didn't make a problem of it. Next time when we are in Costa Rica we will definitely stay here! Looks like a very nice place

Very nice hotel right by the beach, and only a few minutes walk to the village centre. Simple but big rooms. Good breakfast. There is a small communal kitchen, but very few pots. The staff are very helpful and helped us book our onward travels. The hammocks are under a roof (good for rainy days) with a lovely sea view.... More

The price was right. $35/night with breakfast. But breakfast is from 7-9 and the tours start at 6am and go tell 9am. And the boat leaving back to La Pavona leaves at 5:30am. So we did not get to eat the free breakfast either morning. The room was minimal, but clean and the shower worked great. Wifi did not work... More

After we got a new room (first one was really dirty) we had a great stay. The staff are really friendly an helpfull. Fresh fruits and toast/pancake + eggs for breakfast, plus juice an good coffee. The rooms could use some new paint. Electric shower (got zapped 1 day). The towels and sheets had some stains, even when they changed.... More

I decided to stay at this hotel based on other's people review. Unfortunately, we left a day before of schedule becasue we did not feel that confortable. It's a very rustic hotel, no A/C and no room TV as they claimed they have. The real plus side is that people are very very friendly and you feel safe.
