Mawamba Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely location. Staff were very helpful."

Tortuga Lodge

8/10 Good

"This was such a lovely stay. The rooms are a really generous size, with amazing views of the river and surrounded by incredible wildlife. You really are in the middle of it. It's also helpful that the airstrip is just on the other side of the river, making it super easy to get there and back (but with so few flights, it's not a disturbance). We had some incredible activities with the reception staff incredibly helpful and the guides super knowledgable and it's clear they love what they do. Manuel in particular was incredible. And even though it rained almost consistently (nothing anyone can do about that), as soon as we came back from activities, the staff were waiting with towels and drinks for us. They also had an abundance of wellies and ponchos, which were super helpful. The only thing that was a little more challenging were the restaurant opening times. As there's literally one restaurant, if you didn't eat before an evening activity or wanted a drink later in the evening (past 8:30pm), you didn't have any options and there was no one to serve you. Minor inconvenience for such a stunning location. And the wi-fi was brilliant, too. And the food was very good."

Ecolirios Boutique Hotel & Villas

10/10 Excellent

"This property is VERY unique!! It is quite an experience, even just to stay a night, but I would recommend at least 2-3 nights minimum to explore the options they have available. I picked this as a sort of halfway point to stay 1 night between SJO & Puerto Viejo, on the Caribbean coast. But it was a phenomenal experience & we wished we had booked at least 1 more night, if not more. The cabins are very secluded, but well maintained. The grounds are extensive and amazing!! The staff are unbelievably helpful & friendly too!! The only downside is that you absolutely need 4x4 to get there. Don’t believe the people that say you don’t need it. You need to drive up & down steep grades that do get rushing water over them, not only to location, but also to your cabin. The only sounds were birds & frogs & water - it was pure nature to be easily enjoyed from the patio of your cabin. Hammock, sitting chairs w/ fire pit, glass encased cabins, open air rain faucet showers, open air dining & reception, immaculate grounds with animals… just amazing! It was a bit too rainy for us to walk down to the natural spring pools, but waterfalls galore! Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Gracias!! Food & drinks were amazing as well! FRESH!!! 4x4 and guts to get you there, but the rest is heaven! So many thanks to our staff!! (Get whatsapp for CR, period btw! You need it.)"

Casa Marbella

10/10 Excellent

"9/10!! Great staff. Good breakfast. Amazing views from the deck. Conveniently located downtown Tortuguero. The tour guide, Luis, we had was great. I highly recommend Casa Marbella, and their tours!"

Valverde Glamping & Ecolodge

"Excelente hotel"

El Lugar Hotel & Nature Reserve Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"The best resort and experience in Costa Rica - everything was perfect from start to finish, the drive up, greeting, staff service, facilities, the room, the restaurant, the horse back riding, the tranquility- this is not an “Add to my list” it is a “Must do Now” type of world class experience! Book now"

Hotel Pura Natura Beachfront Tortuguero

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at this hotel are nothing short of incredible. They go out of their way to make sure their guests are comfortable and taken care of. We did all the tours with their partner Tuanis Tours and found the guides knowledgeable and fun. All the tours went on a little longer because the guides were determined to make sure we saw all animals possible. They even made the tours enjoyable the few times we got caught in the rain. The hotel was also super accommodating and helpful when a storm changed our return travel plans. Also the location is prime, the hangout space by the beach so tranquil. And it’s really great value for the price. Highly recommend booking and using them to organize all your time in Tortuguero"
