La Tortuga was the best place we could've stayed at in Playa. We did not want to be confined to a resort, but also wanted a luxurious stay. La Tortuga was perfect! It's a small boutique hotel, with a bungalow feel to the set up. You can choose rooms with a a jacuzzi, swim up, hammocks. I stayed in a... more

This hotel was absolutely wonderful… very romantic and a wonderful escape from the world. If you are looking for a quick get away or you are on your honeymoon this is definitely a very beautiful place to be. The staff is super friendly and the restaurant has some great food. I did not care too much for the shower head... more

We just got back from Playa and after spending a week at La Tortuga, i must admit that i was pampered and serviced like never before. This hotel puts every other one to shame! Excellent service, impeccable personal touch - every member of the Tortuga family makes sure they know your name and your preferences and make sure you get... more

My husband and I stayed here for our 11 day vacation - We needed a place to stay for 2 nights before we could check into our "Big Resort" The Tortuga was better and nicer than the "big resort" (the room was a little smaller but they made up for it in views, ameneties and hospitality) The breakfast at the... more

La Tortuga is absolutely an oasis in Playa. We found that all the fabulous reviews were correct and there was nothing about the hotel to be faulted. more

My fiance and I stayed at La Tortuga last October. This hotel is greatness. The service is top-notch... from the moment you check in and are greeted with a delicous "welcome drink" to the beautiful grounds and delicious (FREE) breakfast. The ONLY 2 things wrong with our stay at the time was the bathroom (no shower pressue and water kind... more

I love La Tortuga! Not sure where to begin. The gardens/pool area is so inviting. I could see coming to this hotel and never wanting to go to the beach in Playa! The gardens are lush and green - surrounding a pool that encompasses many levels and many small swimming areas. The loungers are so comfortable and the service so... more

Just got back July 3rd from a 5 night stay. What a place, what a place! Everything good I read on the web was true - this place is the best! Don't second guess, and wonder "IF"... This is a true hidden gem. Booking a place that you read about can often be a bit un-nerving – especially for my... more

Overall, we liked this hotel a lot and would definitely consider staying there again. I'll give a quick summary, then pros and cons. Summary: A reasonably good value, but you could probably find rooms that are comparable for less. It's beautifully maintained and well located with a friendly, welcoming staff. The courtyard, pool, bar, and restaurant are attractive and comfortable.... more
