"We stayed 2 nights, one before an early morning departure to Turtuguero and then a few days later before an early morning departure to the airport. The hotel booked the Tortuguero trip for us, as well as took us to the airport when we left."

Costa Rica is great year-round! Dry season (December-April) has less rain but more crowds. Green season (May-November) offers lush landscapes, fewer tourists, and better prices.
