Apartamentos Caimán Tortuguero

My wife and I visited Tortuguero for 3 nights and we stayed at Apartmentos Caiman. Carlos was a fantastic host who went above and beyond. He offered us transport from San Jose and his son Steven greeted us at Tortuguero. The apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable. It has a great location as it's so close to the jungle, beach and town. It is a great viewpoint for wildlife with toucans in the trees in the morning and monkeys in the evening. It was a great escape from the heat because it has wifi and air conditioning. Carlos and Steven made us both feel like family. They arranged tours for us and transport to our next location. I will be recommending Apartmentos Caiman to my friends and family.

Nothing. Nada. It was one of our favorite places we visited.

Carlos is a great host! Really friendly, welcomed us like family and was responsive to any and all of our needs immediately and tried to help us with a lot of information when we asked for it. Really nice stay and we recommend him! When we asked him about how to arrive to the town, he said he could take us (from La Fortuna) so we booked him and has a nice ride all the way to the boat dock (we paid of course). The kitchen was nice and had most of what we needed for a 3 night stay.

All good

It was so nice to live in a small neighborhood instead of a tourist resort! Carlos, the host, was a wonderful help with any arrangements we needed. The apartment was spotless. We are going back to stay there again!

For the experience we were looking for, this was perfect. We stayed about 4 weeks and were able to experience nature and life in this community at a lovely relaxed pace.

Great place to stay in Tortuguero. Carlos is a very nice and helpful person, caring about his clients. The apartment is very clean and has all you need - comfy beds, air conditioning, kitchen and utilities. Within a minute walk to the town’s main street.

All was great for our stay!

Nice place near the starting point of various trips.

The apartment was tidy and very clean. Well functioning wifi and AC. The owner is really nice and helpful!! Would recommend!

We stayed in the apartment with the bedroom upstairs.  It was clean and tidy, heated shower and good AC in the bedroom.  the kitchen had a fridge, fryer, kettle and simple rice cooker which gave us everything we needed to cook evening meals.  Carlos and his son made us very welcome and helped with tours, public boat transport, etc.  We had a great time here and would highly recommend it.

The air conditioning was a plus

There is a house adjacent to the apartment that disposes grey water on the outdoors, this water has a sewage smell and pollutes the environment. It is disgusting to see it every time you leave the apartment.

Thanks goodness we had an air conditioner! We couldn’t sleep without it.

The host has been very welcoming and helpful to make the most of our stay (arranging tour trips, showing us animals around the property etc. despite of us not speaking any Spanish :-) The flat was very clean and had all the amenities (kitchen, possibility to wash clothes, ...). The aircon has been highly appreciated (for us Tortuguero has been the place in Costa Rica where it was most needed).
