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.

Excellent location. I could see the ocean, the pool, and the canals from my room. Good restaurant. The included breakfast was especially good. Amenities were good. They let me borrow a canoe for free.

The perfect spot to stay in Tortuguero (we think). 2 minute walk into the centre of town, beach view!, and personalized access to tours and natural history info. A memorable Christmas

This is a place with a long history in the region. What it lacks in some amenities it makes up for in charm, friendly staff and beautiful setting. It is located between the river and the ocean. It has a pool that is clean and well maintained. The only drawback is that it was sometimes hard to find staff when I had a question.

The Best
Our stay at Miss Julie's was a little hot but honestly other than that, it was fantastic!! Everyone at Miss Julie's, including Miss Julie herself, were outstanding. They took such great care of us and helped us with all the changes in our schedule and pick up and everything. The tours they offered were top notch. We headed out on a kayak tour with Monkey Miguel and went to places you couldn't go on a larger, louder boat. We walked through town to the park and saw all 3 species of monkeys on the Caribbean Coast. And everyone on this little spit of land were wonderfully delightful. Highly recommended!!

Good location at one end of Tortuguero village, rooms are in cool style. Swimming pool in garden. Friendly staff (gardener chopped us up fresh coconut) - Cloyd is an excelled and enthusiastic guide for turtle nesting tours and for canoe tours of the waterways Some points to improve: - almost none of the electrics (lights etc.) were working in first room we were checked into - staff moved us very quickly but even then we only had access to one working plug socket in second room - swimming pool wasn’t ready on check-in, disappointing given how hot /humid it is. Also there is no shade / parasols around the pool, this would improve the facilities here. - considering that the hotel is in the jungle, I was surprised that rooms did not have mosquito nets or coils
