Manatus

Summary:

This new, exclusive hotel is located along the main water channel in the Tortuguero National Park, on the North Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. The comfortable, extraordinarily tranquil atmosphere of the Boutique Hotel Manatus will put you entirely at ease the moment you walk in, while its inspiring design will put you in touch with the surrounding wildlife. Traveling to Tortuguero is like being on a non-stop jungle safari cruise. To get there, you must travel over an hour by boat to the hotel dock. You will be greeted with fresh fruit cocktails, at which point you might realize that despite the wilderness all around you, this isn’t exactly roughing it. Each of the rooms includes luxurious finishings, cable TV, a private terrace, two King size beds, and private outdoor/indoor bathroom. The boutique resort also boasts the only “A la Carte” restaurant, which serves meals three times a day as part of your all-inclusive stay. The hotel’s specialist nature guides will show you the small colorful town of Tortuguero, turtle nesting grounds, the interwoven canals of the region as well as the dry portion of the National Park, where you will see vipers, monkeys and more! This is a nature lover’s dream that should not be missed.
