Top El Cairo Hotel Reviews

Mawamba Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, well laid out property. Tasty and variety at breakfast (didn’t use the restaurant for other meals). No A/C but a huge ceiling fan that kept us cool, lots of ventilation in rooms, huge bathroom. We took advantage of walking into Tortuguero Village for meals and to watch some sports on TV! For Jaguar hike must wear hiking boots or tennis shoes- toe closed hiking sandals aren’t allowed!! Not allowed on the beach after 6 pm."

Hotel Casa Turire

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent colonial-style building with incredible natural surroundings, but the hotel looks neglected. The room was nice and spacious, but the bathroom smelled awful, like a sewer. I had to buy bleach and use it, but it didn't get rid of the smell. There was a leak in the sink and mold between the tiles and under the sink. I had to report it at the front desk, and they only provided one towel under after inspection. Also, the rooms didn't have air conditioning, and with the mosquitos, we couldn't open the windows. Honestly, it's a nice place, but it needs renovations asap. Otherwise, the staff's attention was very good, the restaurant had good service, typical Costa Rican food, the prices were somewhat high compared to the quality and quantity."

Miss Junies Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I have never received better customer service than at Miss Junie’s. Nory and her staff are attentive and committed to hospitality. The rooms are very clean. The building and grounds are beautiful and old, worn by time, but with character. The afternoon ocean breeze is cooling and the beach is shaded in the late afternoon. There are old trees on the grounds where iguanas live and macaws visit. The property is also adjacent to the town and the river, and a short walk from the turtle conservatory. Nory and her family are committed to environmental stewardship and the community of Tortuguero."

Hotel Suerre

10/10 Excellent

"Todo en general es excelente, el personal, instalaciones, aseo, desayuno, estacionamiento, piscina, áreas verdes, es una belleza de hotel, sinceramente por mucho lo mejor de la región."

Ecolirios Boutique Hotel & Villas

10/10 Excellent

"This property is VERY unique!! It is quite an experience, even just to stay a night, but I would recommend at least 2-3 nights minimum to explore the options they have available. I picked this as a sort of halfway point to stay 1 night between SJO & Puerto Viejo, on the Caribbean coast. But it was a phenomenal experience & we wished we had booked at least 1 more night, if not more. The cabins are very secluded, but well maintained. The grounds are extensive and amazing!! The staff are unbelievably helpful & friendly too!! The only downside is that you absolutely need 4x4 to get there. Don’t believe the people that say you don’t need it. You need to drive up & down steep grades that do get rushing water over them, not only to location, but also to your cabin. The only sounds were birds & frogs & water - it was pure nature to be easily enjoyed from the patio of your cabin. Hammock, sitting chairs w/ fire pit, glass encased cabins, open air rain faucet showers, open air dining & reception, immaculate grounds with animals… just amazing! It was a bit too rainy for us to walk down to the natural spring pools, but waterfalls galore! Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Gracias!! Food & drinks were amazing as well! FRESH!!! 4x4 and guts to get you there, but the rest is heaven! So many thanks to our staff!! (Get whatsapp for CR, period btw! You need it.)"

Casa Marbella

10/10 Excellent

"9/10!! Great staff. Good breakfast. Amazing views from the deck. Conveniently located downtown Tortuguero. The tour guide, Luis, we had was great. I highly recommend Casa Marbella, and their tours!"

Hotel El Icaco Tortuguero

10/10 Excellent

"Great."

Valverde Glamping & Ecolodge

10/10 Excellent

"Very special hotel in the middle of the jungle. Clean, beautiful and amazing staff working there. We had the best time ever"

Casa Hacienda La Esperanza

10/10 Excellent

"Super friendly staff, feeling at home immediately."
