The fully-equipped kitchen is spacious and open and replete with coffee and the cooking basics (spices, cooking oil, etc.). For only $12*, your chef/housekeepers Elisa or Hazell can head to the market and then whip you up breakfast, lunch or dinner. Fancy a smoothie, a plate of rosquillas (a classic local snack), or chilled coconut water from our tree? Elisa and Hazell can make it happen!

The tile floors of Granada are beautiful….but they are HARD! So we installed a soft-floored exercise and play room. Or head over to PURE for to workout or for a Yoga or excercise class. You’ll have access to the gym and receive a 10% discount on all massages and spa services while staying at Casa Tortuga. Check purenica d ot com to read about PURE.

Got kids? We can stack the exercise/play room with toys! We can also provide a crib, a baby-changing station, a baby gate, water wings/floaties, a child’s bike helmet, art supplies, board games, a white noise sound machine, etc. The pool is fenced for safety and includes an open-air shower.

Our bi-lingual co-host, Gretchell, will be on-call to help you with anything you need. A taxi pick-up? A tour? Need something from the pharmacy or convenience store? Anything you need can be delivered for a dollar or two via a moto-delivery service.

The spacious master is on the second floor and boasts a spectacular view of the cathedral. Enjoy the breezes from the lake on the private balcony. Don’t worry, there is A/C for when the breezes don’t suffice!

The bathrooms have thick, soft towels and hot water from a real water heater (no electric shower heads).

A convenient parking option is available 2.5 blocks away for about $2 per night. We can also provide a vehicle (the owner’s Nissan Patrol 4 x 4) and a private driver for a very reasonable price.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to us!
