Book 3 Star Hotels in Tortuga Island

"Beautiful room with nice view. Nice wildlife and fauna to check out by the beach and on the golf course. Very attentive and pleasant staff. From arrival to departure, everyone was kind and not overbearing. Food was very good and not as overpriced as elsewhere. Pool was clean and easy to find chairs and towels. Beach was pretty, but not too nice otherwise. The sand is rocky and could use some upkeep on the paths to the beach. No shade on the beach. No hassles on the beach and there is a public beachfront area within walking distance with cheaper drink and food options as well as a small liquor store/grocery a few blocks in. Marina within walking distance also has some nice options. Definitely check out the nature tours- a highlight. Nearby town Jaco (15 min by Uber) has a couple of decent food options, but is a bit wild and seedy at night."

"If you are visiting for your first time to Costa Rica this is not the place. When we checked in at midnight we walked to our room, that was farthest from front desk, and the keys did not work. Had to walk back to get keys that worked then the door latch on the inside caught so we had to Jimmy it open. The rooms were not well maintained and the doors did not seal so bugs would crawl in the room and we would have to kill at least 5 bugs a day. The shower only had hot water so could not adjust the water temperature. The staff was not helpful at all and no one seemed to really know what was going on. No instructions were given to us that we had to make a reservation to use the restaurants for dinner. We went to have dinner the first night and only 1/3 of the tables were full. They would not seat us simply bc we did not have a reservation. There were only 2 of us. We paid for the premium to be able to eat at the restaurants. We tried to make reservations the next day and got declined on the app. Went to the front desk and had to wait then found out to make reservations we had to talk to someone else the front desk could not help. They had plenty of open times so there was no reason for it to have been denied when we tried on the app we were told to use. It seems more like a local vacation spot not for visitors from other countries. You get what you pay for here. Worth spending the extra money for a better experience. The views were great."

"The included breakfast was delicious except for: 1. The orange juice that had an artificial flavour 2. The "natural" beverages from the machine that were sugary"
