Beware of the owner when surfing. He puts out a bad vibe in the water. Calls people off of a wave when he hasn't even started paddling for it. Yells at people if he thinks they get too close to him. A total kook. Rooms lack cleanliness, Staff is great. It's best to stay somewhere else like Hotel Bula Bula... more

After staying at this hotel my boyfriend has had his hotel booking privileges revoked! This is a great hotel for guys coming to surf (which is why we ended up here), if I had my way we would've packed up and moved hotels. To the hotels credit they did offer to move our room to an apartment, but it was... more

Yes it was a really nice and special place, great price 40us for one night and great surf just in front. Bring your own board board rentals are about 20us a day. more

We just spent four night in hotel LasTortugas. It's a charming open air hotel. The swiming pool is shaped like a turtle and a nice place to be after a day on the beach. And if you have a sweet tooth try out their amazing apple pie. It's better than any of our grandma's. We can't wait to go back..... more

My husband and I spent 8 days at Las Tortugas the first week in May. We prepaid via Paypal, so check-in was a breeze and were promptly shown to our room upon arrival. We stayed in room 1, a very simple room: King size bed, mini fridge, and bathroom. The room was very clean, and remained so throughout our stay... more

We stayed in the apartments at Las Tortugas and loved it! The room had a large hot water shower, big bed, and A/C. We also had our own enclosed patio with hammocks and tables. It was very clean and comfortable. Our room even had a small library where people had left books for others to read. Didn't see any monkeys... more

I booked the upstairs room (above the kitchen/restaurant) and really enjoyed my stay at Hotel Las Tortugas. The staff was friendly and helpful, the hotel was clean and the restaurant was pretty good, though not great. Overall, the hotel is a great value and is easily the best location in Playa Grande (and in fact the only hotel directly on... more

I have stayed here over 10 times over the last 15 years...and will keep coming back. I have tried other places in Grande, and find this place has the best overall service, atmosphere...and LOCATION. It is literally right in front of the main surf peak at Playa Grande. The food is OK, breakfast is best...but there are some other options... more

Las Tortugas is not a 5 star hotel, so if you go expecting this, you will be disappointed. It is a clean, good value hotel with exceptional staff service and a great location! We stayed in Rancho 7, it was clean, basic and was perfect for our needs - even had racks to store your boards on! The location of... more

We stayed at las tortugas hotel in one of the appartment up the hill (Faro up). The appartment was big with a kitchen (you could make your own breakfast) sofas downstairs and a bedroom upstairs in the observtory. The view was just amazing and the sunset just unforgettable. The appartment is a 5 minutes walk to the beach and main... more
