    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 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.

    The staff at this hotel were all very friendly and attentive. The rooms and premises were constantly being cleaned and maintained. Breakfast and evening meals were all freshly cooked. The hotel is located in Tortuguero village which allowed us to explore the area independently and easy access to tours. A 15% discount is offered on drinks served at the sister hotel which is right by the beach. It serves a great variety of drinks and offers a wide variety of seating options all benefitting from a welcome sea breeze.

    La Baula Lodge is a wonderful place to stay. The accommodations are simple but nice. The setting is gorgeous. Beautiful scenery, well-maintained gardens, and lots of wildlife (monkeys, sloths, toucans, iguanas, etc.). The pool was a big hit with our family. We loved reaching the place by boat, and taking a boat taxi to the nearby small village. The staff was very helpful. The meals at the hotel were fine - not a huge amount a variety, but what was served was good.

    This is the most amazing property. Beautifully designed and remarkably situated. The grounds themselves are a wildlife paradise and the various jungle exploration activities simply.unbelievable (the morning boat ride safari was the highlight - be sure to get your national park ticket code at hotel reception the day before). As an added bonus, the food is excellent, and the serving staff very professional. We particularly enjoyed the floating dinner.

    The host was very friendly and helpful, showing us where the local shop and drinking water supply was. Anything extra we needed for the kitchen he provided. Cleaned the apartment and bedding during our stay. He offered many other things and was very helpful all round. The property is in the heart of the local community and very close to the national park entrance, as well as an easy stroll into town or to the beach.

    Sergio and Gloria were amazing hosts! Sergio took us on amazing boat tours around Tortuguero and even helped us know where to go to get the best hiking and food experiences. Gloria was lovely and made delicious breakfasts and kept the facility and rooms clean. We also got a special night tour with Sergio’s neighbor and best friend Norton! We saw many animals and fantastic nature with our tour guides.

    I cannot recommend this place highly enough. My room was big, quiet and spotlessly clean. There's a separate building for some of the rooms and it has a kitchen and lounge area and a lovely grassy outdoor area which was great for relaxing in. The staff are absolutely lovely - friendly, welcoming and helpful. This was my favourite place to stay in Costa Rica

    I was very unsure about the location initially as it is a river bus or taxi ride out of Tortuguero town (as at January 2023, river bus ‘periferica’ $2 pp, taxi-boat $15), but in the end I was happy with my choice. It was wonderfully quiet with beautiful gardens and a great place to relax between canal trips and walking in the national park.

    From the beginning to the end, Gerson, the main person that I was in contact with, was super helpful and friendly. I loved that there was a fully equipped kitchen and the location was the best, across the beautiful beach; and access to the river from the other side; also close to town and restaurants, Tortuguero Park, and more.

    Stayed for a few days. Enjoyed that the room was nicer and more modern than other places in Tortuguero. The staff, Carmen, was very friendly and helpful. Wifi was great and really enjoyed the breakfast. The location is on the main road, next to the grocery store and across a bakery. Therefore, it felt very convenient.

    Very well located: next to the beach, close to the 'village' and national park. Ideally to start discovering Tortugero national park. I would say that the hotel, compared to other buildings in Tortugero, is relatively well maintained. It's probably one of the better options in Tortugero. The pool was nice to refresh!

    We arrived on a boat a little later than expected, as the bus connections from San Jose to Tortuguero were subpar. Someone from the hotel staff was waiting for us at the dock and led us to our room, which was situated beautifully by the Caribbean beach side. Everything was clean, modern, and perfect for a couple.
