This is a simple village, so it is difficult to compare. This is a simple hotel with modest rooms. We had a bad shower room and uncomfortable bed. Breakfast is excellent. Poor service and not so nice. Not recommended to take the tours offered by the hotel. The guide is not the owner of the hotel, but a local guide... More

We had a most enjoyable 3 night stay at Casa Marbella. Daryl went out of his way to ensure that our visit was memorable. A very tasty breakfast is served on the deck overlooking the river. The morning boat tour is really good fun…..we even saw dolphin!! Did the night turtle tour but had no luck. Don’t miss the walk... More

We absolutely loved our stay here, the room was beautiful and spotless and just what we wanted. We had one of the rooms facing the river. One of our favourite things to do was to just sit on the dock and watch the river, very relaxing and peaceful. It was weird to be so relaxed one minute and then walk... More

We chose Casa Marbella because we didn't want to be part of a package tour. We arrived open minded and were not disaapointed. The accomodation is basic but clean and in a great location with fantastic views and just a boat ride away from the airport. The breakfasts are amazing and great to come back to after an early tour.... More

This was our first stop on our Costa Rican adventure. It set the trip on the right foot. Daryl was super helpful. It was my boyfriends 50th birthday and Daryl was able to find one a home made birthday cake. The customer service from Daryl and his staff is outstanding. We enjoyed the ambience of Casa Marbella. Loved the energy... More

Good location. Pay attention, the area is very hot and humid, and there in no pool. If we knew that we would prefer to pay more and have an hotel with a swiming pool. Dont miss the hiking trail in the reserv, you can take boots from the hotel.

I have stayed at Casa Marbella five times. The location is excellant, the facility very clean and the staff both friendly and knowledgeable. I can't imagine going to Costa Rica without a few days at Casa Marbella . Don't miss the morning boat tour with a guide out on the river. There are many interestin walks and hikes .Nice restaurants,... More

Good quality for such a wild nature place! Room had 3-4 beds (as requested by our group which traveled with kids). Sealing fan and extra portable fan in the room, free breakfast with fresh fruits, pancakes/omlets. Owner Daryl takes care of visitors and very nice. Wild life tours offered in the hotel - they worth it big time! Wifi works... More

Casa Marbella is clean, comfortable and safe...as are many other places. The breakfast is nothing special, but eating on the deck overlooking the river is very nice. The best part was the 6 am cruise through the jungle that began right at the Marbella's dock. For more than three hours, a dozen of us floated almost silently through the park... More

Lovely location right in the heart of Tortuguero. We didn't get to meet Daryl who we were expecting to lead our nature tour. Apparently he doesn't live in Tortuguero any more. Service was prompt, but not particularly welcoming. Fortunately we are capable of sorting ourselves out and it was lovely just wandering around the village. We ate at Wild Ginger... More
