"Lovely and helpful staff. Great food. By far the most convenient location. Less than a min across the river from the airstrip. I will definitely go back."
"We were in room 29, it was spacious and even with screen windows it wasn’t too noisy from people nearby. The hammock on the porch was nice, and we got to see toucans in the tree by our front door. We also saw a huge iguana on the lawn, and a sweet orange cat.
The bathroom was also large and clean. The shower did not have a handheld but it was a rain shower and had hot water pretty quickly. The strange wooden rack in the bathroom proved very useful to lay out clothes to try and get them to dry. Which is almost impossible!
The tours offered by Mawamba were pretty good, worth their cost - we did the night walk - you go across the river by boat, the canoe tour (great guide named Bryan), and the Jaguar Trail. I’d recommend doing these with guides as you will absolutely miss a lot of animals without them. But also know they can only see so much if the animals aren’t out.
The front desk staff was not warm and welcoming but one of them was nice enough. The other was more interested in her cell phone than being helpful to guests.
The food at the restaurant was fine. The included breakfast had a made-to-order omelette bar.
Bring a poncho for wet adventures!
Overall we felt 2 full days and nights was just right!"
"What an amazing experience! I was skeptical at first with no A/C and minimal amenities, but I have to say I can’t imagine you’d see so many animals at one hotel. Food was good and rooms were clean. Would recommend for a great experience."
"I have never received better customer service than at Miss Junie’s. Nory and her staff are attentive and committed to hospitality. The rooms are very clean. The building and grounds are beautiful and old, worn by time, but with character. The afternoon ocean breeze is cooling and the beach is shaded in the late afternoon. There are old trees on the grounds where iguanas live and macaws visit. The property is also adjacent to the town and the river, and a short walk from the turtle conservatory. Nory and her family are committed to environmental stewardship and the community of Tortuguero."
"Beautiful setting and extremely clean! The Hotel is very helpful over whats app. The buffet is tasty but quite basic. There is no AC in the rooms, just block a ceiling fan that wasnt very powerful- this was ok at night and we slept well but not very comfortable during the day. Overall a nice stay."
"One of our favorite places we stayed in Costa Rica so far! Juanita was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend this place! Saúl was an awesome guide with the hostel as well!"
