We have just returned from celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary at La Tortuga and agree with all the reviews on this wonderful hotel. The included breakfast is very good and drinks at the bar are delicious, my husband loved the margaritas and the mojitos were by far the best I have ever tasted! Although I didn't find our room to... more

My new fiancee and I spent our Xmas at La Tortuga where I proposed to her. We booked the Junior Suite with rooftop jacuzzi. For the booking the only odd thing I encountered was having to wire over the full amount 1 month in advance. This is a policy the hotel has in place for any stays that include the... more

What can I say beyond what most others have raved and ranted about? Not much, except to emphatically agree...that La Tortuga is in a great location, has delicious food, comfortable rooms, and the MOST amazing staff I've encountered. EVERYone. Lisa at the front desk is amazing, and Bernardo, as is Anna, who helped us so much prior to arriving. All... more

This was our second stay at La Tortuga, and can't wait until our next! The place is beautiful and exceptionally well maintained. What makes it truly special however, is the hotel staff. Our first morning there, Santiago (breakfast waiter) greeted me by name. (It's been a year since our last visit). Daniel the bartender, always called us by name and... more

If you are like me researching were to stay in Playa Del Carmen... let me say that you need not to search anymore. This little gem of a hotel has everything you need and a whole lot more. Forget the big all inclusive resorts... where you are just a number attached to a credit card. Wouldn't it be nicer to... more

We were recently lucky to have spent three nights at La Tortuga. It was, of course, way too short. We had arranged for the hotel to provide our transportation from the airport and were very pleased. The driver was waiting for us and off we went. Having landed at 10:30, we were in our room before noon. Check in was... more

We had a wonderful stay at the Hotel Tortuga in Playa Carmen. The hotel is small and once inside offers a degree of tranquility. (With an exception noted below). Located one block away from the main shopping street (5th Avenue), it is easy walking distance to beaches and all the activity. Unlike most of the large all inclusive resorts sprouting... more

Would definitely recommend Hotel La Tortuga - the staff were extremely friendly & obliging. Very good food, reasonably priced. The only point I would make is that the tours are quite expensive if booked at the hotel reception - we found the same tour to Chichen Itza at half price with a tour operator on the 5th avenue. more

We hosted our wedding at La Tortuga on November 16th and stayed there from November 13-24th. We had about 60 guests for two days of celebration on the terrace and at their restaurant El Bistro. Many of our guests stayed for up to one week at the hotel. The location and size of the hotel is perfect to host a... more
