Tortuga Lodge

A pleasant riverside hotel one mile north of the Tortuguero Town, this jungle lodge is typically Costa Rican in its flamboyant style and offers a perfect location right on the river’s edge of the watery wilderness.

There are 27 simple and comfortable jungle lodge-style rooms. The lack of televisions in the rooms allow guests to fully appreciate the sounds of the tropical rainforest. In fact, the atmosphere in the lodge as a whole is laid back, and tranquil.

The hotel’s restaurant dishes up creative contemporary takes on traditional Costa Rican meals. The chef’s team weaves the tastes, textures and aromas of tropical ingredients into every meal. Dine at a table suspended over the river and its banks. Bring the day to a close with Caribbean-themed cocktails at the bar.

Unwind at the pool and enjoy the river views, or while away the hours in the hammocks down on the southern point. Be sure to make time to explore the well-kept tropical gardens. You can either take a tour with Tortuguero’s naturalist guide, or stroll through the plantation-style property yourself.  As you wander between the buildings and gardens, keep and eye open for iguanas and toucans.
