Really authentic place. Beautiful grounds, we saw lots of birds here, and big iguanas. The swimming pool is beautiful and relaxing. Comfy rooms. Make sure to book your tours from here. We booked our turtle tour and canoe tour from here. Our turtle guide is miss Nori from the hotel. She is beyond amazing! She is local, so knowledgeable and does patrols along the beach to protect the turtles. Really admirable!

Totally Wonderful

It is a wonderful spot. The photos don't do it justice, nestled between the river and the sea, the public boat dropped us off at the property. Staff were excellent, teens loved the pool and how easy it was to wonder into town.

Highly Recommend

We had a wonderful stay at Miss Junies. It was well located near to town but had the secluded nature at the end of the village. The sea on one side and the river on the other. The character of the building was amazing with beautiful gardens all around, we saw many different birds and animals. They also had a great pool to swim in.The food we had for breakfast and dinner was delicious. We really enjoyed the two tours we did there the turtle nesting and canoe trip of the canals. They were very informative and genuinely seemed interested and concerned with nature and conservation.

Miss Junies was excellent, and has such an interesting history as an integral part of Tortuguero. The staff were amazing, Noly took us on a night time turtle tour where we got to see two turtles at the same time! Her nephew was a great river guide by both motorboat and kayak, and the chef made us incredible food every day. Thank you so much Miss Junies!

Avoid at all costs

Rubbish stay here, staff tried telling us we have one room booked instead of too. The staff tried telling me coffee and juice in breakfast was an extra charge after we had it. A joke of a service. You can’t pay in card, they only accept cash even though there is a card payment sticker in the reception. Don’t stay here unless you want a stressful and awful experience

Dogs everywhere and their mess which was a shame as the location is great. The host isn’t very personable but others are. Facilities in the room are very poor and there is no way this is a 3 star establishment. When it came time to pay the figure was higher than on hotels.com and she would only take cash as the card machine was broken and the bank won’t fix it. So tried to over charge me and made up a story about the card machine. Cannot recommend at all.

The woman who checked us in was abrasive and rude. She made us wait for half an hour even though there was no one else there. I explained that we had booked online and paid in advance, and showed her the confirmation, but she seemed distrustful. I had to explain and show her several times. She became annoyed and argumentative because we booked a turtle tour with another company, not through the hotel. When we checked out on day 3, she did not remember our conversation about having prepaid online, and stalled, asking me about payment again. I finally had to just walk away so we wouldn’t miss the ferry. This was the only unpleasant staff experience of our entire vacation in Costa Rica.

We had a wonderful time at Miss Junie’s. The staff are so unbelievably kind, friendly and helpful. The hotel and tours are run by a local family and they are lovely people who really care about their guests. The room and the view from our room was lovely. Breakfast was good and we had dinner in the restaurant one night also and that too was excellent. We did 3 tours with Cloied at the hotel and he was so passionate and knowledgeable about the area. The hotel is at the end of town, so quiet, and surrounded by beautiful gardens, the lagoon and the beach. We were so lucky to have found Miss Junie’s and blesses to have the opportunity to meet the family. We would not hesitate to recommend a stay here.

This was an amazing experience. Directly on the gorgeous turtle nesting beach right in the national park this beautiful lodge is owned by a storied local family, one of the first to settle the area. Their dad was a jaguar hunter but when they learned how important the area was environmentally their mom (Miss Junie) started her lodge and they all became instrumental in the creation of the national park. Noly, who as a young lady organized locals to patrol the beach, protecting nesting turtles from poachers, took me on the turtle tour, which was absolutely life changing. Her brother gives canal tours through the rainforest and we saw sloths, a whole group of monkeys (both carrying babies!) lizards and tons of beautiful birds. The lodge is made of beautiful mahogany, has lovely tile pool and air conditioning in some of the rooms. It is situated right next to the little town and has an amazing Costa Rican/Caribbean restaurant (and free breakfast.) Miss Junies seafood special was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. This lodge is peaceful, incredibly beautiful close to everything and allows you to get to know a local family as well as the history and wildlife in the region. I’m not sure why one would stay anywhere else.
