We appreciate your review Mathieu! We're glad you enjoyed your time in Esterillos with your family. Come back anytime, we would be happy to host you again
Our family of 7 loved staying at Casa Tortuga! It was probably our favorite place we stayed in Costa Rica - right across the street from a beautiful beach, very comfortable, kitchen has everything you need for cooking, beach towels provided, in short: highly recommended!

Hello Gwyneth! Thank you very much for sharing your experience in Casa Tortuga. It was a pleasure to host you and you're welcome back anytime
Casa Tortuga is a wonderful spot right on the beach. It's a typical Costa Rica vacation home upgraded with A.C. and full kitchen. They did a great job keeping the Tico vibe, but making it welcoming for those expecting hot water, etc. Esterillos has, so far, managed to escape the big developers that have taken over most of Guanacaste. It is a spot where you can still get fresh caught fish right from the boat.Our contact, Keylor, was very communicative and ready to help in any way he could.If you want to party go to Tamarindo, but if you want to relax on a quiet beach and grill fresh fish this is the place.

Hello Eric! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay in Casa Tortuga and your time in our little beach town Esterillos. You're right it is the perfect place to relax and experience the Costa Rican culture in a unique way! It was a pleasure hosting you and come back anytime. Best regards
Marla the host was great. House was nice and had most everyone we needed. However, the water from the tap was 1) Un-drinkable, 2) turned off between noon and 6pm daily, and 3) when it was available there was little to no pressure. Finally the living room didn’t have AC so it was super hot which cause everyone to hang out in their room to stay cool rather that hanging out as a family.
+1 star if Owner is looking to add a water storage tank to fix the above issues which would raise my rating to to a 4
+1 star if they added AC in the living room

You can literally walk for miles in either direction along the beach and enjoy breathtaking sunrises and sunsets.
