    What a gem.

    What a gem. We had three nights here but in hindsight could have done two (a lot of people just do one). Two nights gives you a chance to soak up the atmosphere and explore the village from end to end. It was an experience getting there - a 1hr boat trip (which can be longer depending on the water levels). On arrival we were surprised at the number of bars and restaurants - a huge variety. Many on the waterfront and how wonderful to have no cars. Our hotel met us at the wharf and transferred our luggage. The hotels are right amongst the locals houses - so you really get to know the village and can hear all the 'goings on'. Just walking around you see the houses, some of the challenges living there, the flora and fauna. We did a motor boat tour at 9am - would recommend doing this at 6am as the forest wakes up. Its amazing on the water - seeking the birds close up, camen, monkeys and iguanas. You will see more animals on a tour of the forest but its still worth the experience. The motor boat tour includes national park entry - but I would recommend using a guide in the park as despite what you think its really hard to spot animals without the 'experienced eye'; and of course its their livelihood. I also did a night tour - there were a lot of other night tours - we walked along the route to the airport so it didn't feel super secluded - but we did see an armadillo, spiders, a snake, sloth and an iguana. Just goes to show nature is all around us - but again I would never have seen it without the experienced guide. Overall its quite an experience and would suggest Tortuguera is a 'must have' on a Costa Rica itinerary.

    Loved the fact that the boat dropped us off at the hotel's dock and picked us up here as well. Checkin was a breeze but make sure you have the cash to pay for the room and any tours. Canoe/boat tours, day hikes, night walks were arranged by the hotel in advance for very nominal rates. The tours start right at the hotel and hence very convenient. The hotel sits on the banks of the river and the views are lovely especially during dusk and dawn. We experienced torrential rain one afternoon and during the night. The rain in the afternoon did not last long. The canals are accessible by boat, canoe and kayaks. Tortuguero is laid back and a nice place to wind down and experience time float by. Great place to see Great Green Macaws fly by during dawn and dusk. We also saw the last of the turtle hatchings make their way to the sea. Wonderful sight to experience. The town and beach are easily accessible. The canals are teeming in wildlife. We saw green basilisks, iguanas, jacanas, toucans, caimans, herons and monkeys (howler, spider and capuchin). On the night walk we saw frogs (Savage's bullfrog, red-eyed tree frog, some snakes, and a sloth at close range. The hotel staff were nice. The free breakfast was an added bonus. Laundry service was available for a fee. The town was easily accessible by foot. Local food at the sodas was fulfilling. Overall a wonderful experience!

    It was like going to the Amazon River and experiencing wildlife and diversity. It was a multi cultural place with a taste of how locals villagers live , ocean access, river access and the best part is watching conservation of turtles. Turtle night tour is a must do!!?

    Town was better than pictured.

    Town was better than pictured. Walking to everything is easy. Favorite restaurants were Miss Miriams next to the football field and Budda Cafe overlooking the river. Went on three turtle tours and the canoe tour. All great. Used Tuanis Tours for 2 turtle and canoe and Leonardo for private turtle tour. Grocery store carries beer and liquor at reasonable prices.

    The Tortuguero area is considerably different from the rest...

    The Tortuguero area is considerably different from the rest of Costa Rica. Isolated from land transport, all access is done either by boat or plane. Opt for the boat if you can. It's cheap (around 8000 colones round trip from La Pavona), and despite being on a public transport you'll have a tour experience. The trip can take up to 1,5 hours, with safety conditions guarateed (life vests) and you'll be winding through the florest canals until you reach the Tortuguero sandbar. much like running down the Amazonas, The village is very small but with a great ambient of friendly people (general fact in all CR) with plenty of options for food/drinks, accomodations. Tortuguero life runs around sightseeing (National Park, turtle tours, and cannoeing in the canals). At night you'll have plenty of options for sunset and dinning. You're in a protected area for marine turtles and the mindset is all around that. Forget about bathing in the river or the beach, as one it's inhabited by crocodiles and the other with bull sharks,

    Enjoyed the boat ride into Tortuguero from the docks at La Pavlona. Boat driver stopped to show us a crocodile in the water. The town of Tortuguero is interesting and its people welcoming. It is basically a main walkway just inset but along the water backed by a small community with a subdued caribbean vibe. We were very comfortable there. We wanted to go on a canoe tour and a guided tour of the rainforest but hadn't booked anything. There is a tour desk at the dock we were let off on but didn't give us specific info on tours. we reached out to Tuanis Tours and Jewwy our guide came right to us at our hotel and arranged both tours for us. He was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed our canoe trip immensely. Saw alligators, herons, snakebirds, monkeys, bats, iguana. The same afternoon, another Tuanis guide took us through the rainforest and spotted poisonous dart frog, a sloth, several types of Jesus Christ lizards, gorgeous plants and flowers. He was amazing. The restaurants we ate at were all good food and value. We ate at El Patio twice. Standout was Taylor's Place. While more expensive than the others, this restaurant is truly different. the evening was absolutely enchanting, food and wine better than some 5 star restaurants in N. America. I really wanted to go but when i called for reservation they said their machines were down and could only accept cash. We had forgotton there is no working ATM in Tortuguero. Fortunately, there is a place where you can get some cash (for a fee) in a shop across from Grocery store. I was a happy girl. You don't need much while you are here. I was pretty embarrased to take heavy luggage with me on the boat to Tortuguero.

    What a Traditional, beautiful Costa Rican stay. we really enjoyed the whole experience of staying at Tortuguero Lodge from the Hotels boat transfer in, to the delicious food which was literally waiting for us on arrival. The hotel arranged two trips for us, the twilight walk through their own trail which was stunning and we saw snakes, frogs and spiders. Then also a morning boat tour around the national park where we saw sloths, monkeys and caiman. The hotel itself is beautiful and kept ver clean all in all I would highly recommend!

    The Fersa boat has info about you upon your arrival to La Pavona and it takes you basically right to the hotel. The place is right in the center of Tortuguero town and few steps from the beach. We were lucky to have the whole house to ourselves. Great communication, Carmen was very helpful and even let us check in sooner. They offer a great variety of tours. We really enjoyed those! Very tasty (but a little small) breakfast. Kitchen with (almost) all you could need and with drinkable water. Wouldn't mind some spatula or ladle.

    What a beautiful place! We absolutely loved our stay at Mawamba Lodge! The property is beautiful and right on the beach where we were able to see the baby turtles hatching! The facilities were wonderful and all the staff members were very helpful. A short boat ride away from the town but I preferred this as we only really needed to see the town for a few short hours and then we preferred to stay on the property and enjoy the beach. We also did a night hike through the hotel that was amazing and one of the highlights of our trip!

    The area is really nice. Tortuguero is a beautiful very small town. Maybe don’t stay longer then 3 days. The Hostel has a nice garden area and the cutest kitten on earth. The kitchen is not in good shape. I don’t get all the really bad frying pans all over Costa Rica. I saw in the supermarket their only cost around 20$… anyways, it was possible to cook. We did the Canoe tour with Israel and he is a super guide. we saw lots of animals and he explained a lot. Best tour i did. so far in CR.

    The location could not be better! This hotel has its own boat ramp so when we arrived and departed we could do it right from the hotel. It is also right in town, so it was easy and fun to walk to restaurants. The staff members were friendly and helpful (and patient with our limited Spanish). We had a problem with our shower and they worked quickly to find a solution. They were exceedingly helpful with arranging and advising us about activities and transportation.

    Best hostel to stay in Tortuguero! I will definitely stay at the same place if I go back to Tortuguero. Mariana took really good care of us, she cooked us a beautiful, delicious breakfast every morning. The rooms have lockers, the beds are clean and comfortable. The kitchen is quite good too. We felt safe there, the location is great, 30 seconds walk from a grocery store. There are two nice areas outside to chill in the shade.

    The guesthouse is located at the gate of Tortuguero National park with its own private dock. We arrived by collectivo ferry boat and was dropped of at the private guest house dock. We rented kayak directly from the guest house. We simply walked down stairs and kayak were ready on the private dock for us. The guest house rooms are on the 2nd floor with a patio overlooking the canal. Its a great place to stay!

    Amazing place, 3 min from the center of the village, right on the Tortuguero beach, the hostel consists of a collection of rooms around a common garden with common facilities (social area, common kitchen, play zone) in a tropical rainforest style. Absolutely perfect to experience the rainforest atmosphere and visit Tortuguero.

    The location of the hotel is the best of all we have seen at Tortuguero, directly at the beach and quiet (the other ones are in town so it can be noisy)! Breakfast was good compared to other. Freshly made eggs and pancakes as well as fresh fruits, bread with jam and gallo pinto.

    I loved this location in San Francisco, which is a small town away from the bustle of Tortuguero. It also has some very nice walking paths in the national park as well as a nice walk in rural areas of the beach. The town is tiny and you see the same faces all the time.
