Hotel Tortuga Village

A hidden Gem, absolutely wonderful... relaxing, quiet...and super ,super friendly staff. Didn't want to leave. Pictures don't do it justice. Only negative thing is not warm water in the shower... small price to pay for peace and quiet. Food is great.... not a huge breakfast selection, but they do the best they can and it's all delicious. The Mgr is wonderful she checks in on you, the staff at the beach wonderful, Think his name was Lucio, anything you needed, they did their best to help. We did the Tour with Rutas Aquatics Molina, (excellent) Got the massage by Claudia, it was awesome... Can't wait to go back! Hope they never change. Oh and warning, there are a lot of strays that come out of nowhere, when food is around,.we personally didn't mind feeding them,... so if your not into animals...don't go... but the strays don't bother you...they just hang around... see pics.

We stayed here in July with the my immediate family and some extended members. My wife’s family is from Central America originally so I have traveled through El Salvador and Guatemala and have been to some of the best restaurants and venues these countries have to offer. At close to $300 a night the expectations were high. My thought process was if you are going to charge American prices then I expect that level of service and caliber of resort offerings. These expectations were not met and the Tortuga falls short. Let’s start with the overview of what this place is…. It is a small ***** of land with a beautiful beach on the Pacific Ocean with 8 elevated thatched roof bungalows that room various size parties. The rooms are pretty unique in the sense they are elevated on poles with an open air sitting area and hammock under them and over looking the pools. No major complaints on the rooms except the AC was not up to the job of keeping the rooms cool during the daily heat which I might add was oppressive with little escape offered in the rooms .. The manager did attempt to alleviate this by bringing us a pedestal fan which at least for one or two people was a slight reprieve .The explanation that was given was the Bungalow was in the sun and got hot during the day. ( so get a additional AC with some of the money you charged us). Otherwise no complaints on the rooms and room service. The resort has two connected pools with one around 3 ft deep and the other one around two feet. Cute but nothing that any beach hotel in most places wouldn’t have. The Beach however was the crown jewel with dark sand stretching a beautiful distance in both directions met by the impressive waves of the Pacific. . Very clean and very private with no hint of trash or rocks. No complaints here. The beach, bungalows and pools abutted each other so proximity was also real nice. Watch out for undertow as the waves and sea was strong. The Bar and restaurant ( one and the same) was nothing more than a typical tiki bar with wood crates and plastic chairs abutting bar tables on the beach. No interior or modern dining. Bar and restaurant are not under the same owners so we had to pay our bar and restaurant bill each night. ( bar/ restaurant doesn’t take American Express like resort so that was a big pain in the a** as Amex is our go to card. Food was excellent and bar/ waiter service was also fantastic but again pricing was much higher than the venue should have offered . Put it this way we stayed two nights and paid around $600 for the room total ( not worth it but I could swallow that). The bill for two lunches and 1 dinner for 4 people ( limited breakfast included in the stay was over $600 !) To be transparent this also included drinks during the day but we are not crazy drinkers and also my family was four people total. The long and short was small nice location on the Pacific with little offer besides the beautiful Pacific and some privacy( probably becau

I brought a group from the US to stay at this beautiful intimate hotel. The staff is attentive and ready to accommodate any needs their guests have. Doña Lilian is a wonderful host and manager ready to make possible the stay here is memorable. It is my second year bringing a group of 10 people to stay here, and will come back over and over again.

We had a lovely stay. Absolutely loved the grounds which are well kept. There's only 8 bungalows in the property so the resort is not crowded. Staff are very nice and helpful, food is delicious, bungalows clean and inviting. The beach is lovely too. If you're looking to party at night, this place is not for you as it tends to have a more chilled atmosphere. Again, highly recommended for those who are looking to get away from the noisy city. It is a bit pricey but, worth every penny 👍

Location and Bungalow idea is very nice . Very over priced for no amenities; no restaurant and poorly kept beach area. Rooms do not have Kleenex or blow dryer and there are no pool towels pool side or at beach. Beach chairs uncomfortable and poorly maintained. Staff is friendly but that’s not enough .

I love the concept of the bongalows. Small area which is great since not many people. The staff is super friendly, drinks were great. The food was delicious alittle pricey though. The only negative thing about this place is the beds, pillows and sheets need to be more comfortable. The pool definitely needs to be renovated.

Worst hotel experience starting since the minute you go in the property, the service it’s horrible, food is serve cold, it’s takes forever to be serve, the host are rude I have never stay in a place with such a low service to the clients, do yourself a favor don’t waste your money in this property there are a lot of nice places for cheap.
