The Manatus Hotel comprises 12 bungalows with air conditioning and a private patio with outdoor shower.
The tropical garden is pleasant for a stroll after your excursions, with a small pool. The distinctive feature of the Manatus Hotel is its small-capacity boats (8 people max.), favouring small groups on excursions (4 to 6 people max.).
The restaurant serves flavourful traditional cuisine, with à la carte dinners.
All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, television, free Wi-Fi, minibar, queen-size beds, and a private terrace with outdoor shower.
Days are devoted to activities organised by the hotel: a visit to the Sea Turtle Conservancy museum, a boat excursion along the Tortuguero canals, a forest walk in Tortuguero National Park, a visit to Tortuguero village, and more. This group program, led by a naturalist guide speaking English and Spanish, includes transfer from San Jose by bus and motorboat (maximum 18 passengers), 2 nights' accommodation at Manatus Lodge, full board (with tea and coffee) from breakfast on day 1 to lunch on day 3, and small-group activities (6 to 12 participants).
The hotel also lends kayaks and pedal boats so you can explore the canals independently.
