My wife and I spent our 39th wedding anniversary at La Baula Lodge, plus two more nights. All three nights and days were thoroughly enjoyable! Two of the three nights we were the only guests there, but you'd never know by the service and attention we received. Our room was so comfortable and clean. The maid made a cute towel... More

La Baula Lodge is a nice place to stay within the Tortuguero National Park. We stayed in room 4, the room was simple but (importantly) clean. No A/C, fan only - I usually find that quite difficult but the temperature wasn't too high in the evenings and there was always a cool breeze. The howler monkeys *will* wake you up... More

This hotel was so wonderful. the staff is warm and generous. The rooms are good with a great fan on the ceiling that keep you cool. bathrooms are adequate as well. the food is delicious, the pool, the nature and the howling monkeys that wake you at 4:45. So worth the long boat ride from Pavona and the need to... More

The eating and bar area are nice. There are hammocks and a nice sitting area on the side of the lodge. Pool area was not very big at all. There is no way to leave the lodge, but by boat and that takes you to the local small town where you will find some souvenir shops, convenience stores and a... More

The ferry service from La Pavona left us at the back side of the resort, which made me ask the driver if he was sure this was La Baula. Looked totally crumpy and abandoned. But forget the first impression. Once you make it to the front, the picture changes. The cabins are rustic, clean and have all you need. Great... More

Relaxing spot. Great staff. Room was ok, there were screens on the windows, no windows, no AC, not a problem for me, but maybe not everyone. The lodge is isolated away from town and requires a boat ride across to get to town. The benefit of this is that it is very relaxing and quiet. I wouldn't spend much time... More

We stayed at the lodge on Feb. 13, 14 and 15, 2014 while visiting Tortuguero. You can access the lodge by a short boat ride from Tortuguero docks. The cost is approximately ($1, 500 Colones per person). The room was clean, spacious and facing the pool with chairs available for lounging on the veranda. The bathroom was large and clean... More

Good service, all the staff were happy to help and make your stay better. We ate at our hotel everyday as it was convenient because the town is a short boat ride across the river and the food is very good! Not to mention there are very few restaurants in the small town. None of which looked very appetizing. The... More

Relaxing, best food and service, peacefull, jungle sounds, no bugs, great pool. If you don't like this place then you shouldn't travel! We've been every where and this is right there in the top of the canopy.
