Tortuga Lodge

Amazing!

Very nice, quiet and remote hotel with different trails to discover the local animals( we saw iguanas, monkeys, birds) , a warm pool with salt treatment and not chlorine. They have a restaurant which is a little pricey but the service is great .

The property is very remote but you can get to the small quaint town by boat. The monkeys are amazing and the strawberry poison dart frogs on the walking trail are breathtaking and so vibrant in color. There is no a/c or tv but good Wi-Fi. However the breeze off the water and fans in the room are good enough to stay comfortable in night and day. Plus the kayak tour with Norton is a lot of fun and interesting in spotting wildlife.

The staff was exceptionally kind and helpful. The room was very clean and inviting. The overall facility afforded great relaxation and ample opportunities to appreciate and learn about the natural surroundings of the rain forest.

You are so close to the National Park, The property walks by themselves are terrific.

It's not possible to score 6* but the staff and overall experience at this hotel was amazing. .. customer service,, food, location and overall ambiance were fantastic. We worried that it's isolation would be an issue but this was actually a bonus, the jungle was right outside your door. None of my family wanted to leave! Thank you so much for a great start to our holiday.

A beautiful riverside lodge with excellent rooms and public spaces. Located just a 5 minute boat ride from Tortuguero village. Very friendly helpful staff. Highly recommended!

Great location, very friendly and helpful staff, at least breakfast should be included in the room price. I read a lot about overpriced food. Yes, the restaurant is somehow pricey but you always have to remember where you are ... in the middle of nowhere. And the food they serve is pretty good

We loved this lodge. Can’t say enough positive things about it. Staff were amazing. Food was excellent and the room was charming. It gets 5 stars from us. Highly recommend this lodge.

We parked our rental car and took the boat ride from La Pavona directly to the hotel. This was a good choice, as the boat had a naturalist and we stopped several times to look at wildlife. Once arriving at Tortuga Lodge, we were greeted by friendly faces and given an introduction to the hotel, the gardens, and activities. Our room overlooked the water, which was beautiful and there were large iguanas and other creatures roaming the grounds. The restaurant was excellent, as was the pool area. The staff was simply amazing. We had a couple of issues. 1) Our safe door had trouble and after trying to fix it, they replaced the door, which solved the problem; 2) Our smoke detector started that beeping sound when the battery is running out right before we were going to call it a night. They security folks had to round up a tall ladder, but found it and got the thing to stop beeping. Everyone there was extremely friendly and helpful. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer than 2 nights. I think 3 nights would be a good minimum here. Can't wait to return someday.
