Hotel Tortuga Village

We took out a day pass because of lack of time to stay. Property was beautiful, proximity to beach also was nice. Staff were pleasant and accommodating. Only complaint was you weren't allowed drinks at the pool. Which was unusual, since we have been to many places that allow it. Extremely, peaceful and relaxing. Definitely recommend.

You pay for what you get. This place was private, beautiful, and had a special chef that will cook great food for you and come to your table to sit down and talk about the food. This was a wonderful experience. The property is amazing and staff were extraordinary.

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.

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 .
