Manatus Hotel

Fantastic two night stay at the Manatus. Everything was perfect, they picked us up from our hotel in San Jose and the guide on the journey to the hotel was brilliant. After the bus ride a boat trip to the hotel which took around an hour and a half. Rooms spotlessly cleaned and the bathrooms superb - looked like they had been refurbished recently to a very high standard. Lovely pool area and great seating areas over looking the water. Staff were great, particularly the younger waiter...

We loved our stay here as part of our honeymoon. The transfers were seamless and the staff were so knowledgeable. Ricardo and Luis were brilliant guides and the waiting staff were very friendly. Our room was comfortable and really enjoyed the air con! Good location in terms of Tortuguero town and the national park. We enjoyed the night tour on the hotel grounds too.

My wife and I had a lovely 3 night stay here. The hotel is very comfortable, with accommodation in air conditioned and very clean bungalows. All three meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) are a-la-carte, and very good. The menu doesn’t change, so would get a bit boring after several days. But it is perfect for a stay of a few days, with a good choice. The restaurant staff were very friendly, even preparing some simpler food for my wife who had an upset stomach on one day...

We had such a great stay at Manatus. The staff were all so friendly especially Dino, Luis, John and Harold. They all made us feel really welcomed and took us on some amazing tours where we even saw a nest of sea turtles going into the sea which was magical. Our one recommendation is that Tico food such as Casado is added to the lunch and dinner menu as we loved the Tico breakfast and the Casado when we asked for it for lunch. But overall, a fantastic stay.
