Surfing Turtle Lodge

Great food, chill spot with beautiful surrounding, and wonderful experience with the boat, and horse ride into the hostal, and releasing the turtles into the ocean.

Nice and remove beach where you can lie even naked. Cozy 6 beds dormitory. Good food. Funny evening programe. Fireplace on the beach. Turtles' realeses were so amazing!

Uncozy big dormitory (second floor of restaurant)

Staff very friendly, good restaurant, exceptional location in front of the sea

The all lodge need a lot of maintenance to be restored. We stay one night in the beachfront bungalow, the location is really amazing, but everything is old and need to be replaced/fixed/cleaned. The second night we were in the double at the first floor, sea view; the view really amazing, but the room a disaster. Dirty and old, window impossible to close and no mosquitos net, curtains dirty, mat very very old, unconfortable and dirty impossible to sleep. Share bathroom with the dorm on the side, that was full; the toilets were very dirty already in the evening.....I let you imagine the morning after. And finally the animals: lot of dogs around living in the lodge and looking for food, very very slim. Thay were very friendly, but you can realize that nobody take care of them. They just try to catch what is falling down from your table when you eat. And I did not have a better impression about pigs and chickens. Is a shame because the place could be a piece of paradise

Perfect place for relaxing, there was a number of things to do in the hostel (surf, yoga, horseback riding, slackline, long walk on an empty beach, turtle releases). The food in the restaurant was good.

It is a very remote location (need to take a boat across the river & horse ride/walk). This is very nice if you are looking for peacefull place but if you would like to visit las penitas etc, it is a long walk. Cleanliness could have been better, especially in the showers & toilets. There was also a lot of bats. The restaurant was a little bit slow, and you don’t have other options as it is the only restaurant close by.

Simply paradise! It’s away from the villages, it’s dark so you can see the stars, you have the whole beach to yourself, and so many hammocks to relax in. And they pick you up with a horse and carriage, that is an experience in itself!!! Wonderful!! Ps, bring snacks of you need snacks. And donate to the homeless dogs.

I don’t like the people who have left bad reviews, this place doesn’t deserve it. Know what you are booking and you will love it!

Not equipped for emergency situations. No lighting leading to rooms at night. Price for boat ride different than advertised.

Everything! Saw turtles hatching

The isolated location almost like a private beach. The activity equipment for use was good and the lounging areas, especially the thatched shade with sun beds. The food was excellent.

After my roomates left, their beds were not stripped for over 24 hrs and the off/ on smell from the septic/ drains was bad.
