We had not known what to expect from the lodge but from the moment we arrived we seemed to step into a peaceful and refined world. We arrived by boat with about half a dozen others and were all personally welcomed by the mananger Julian who explained the lodge and its activites to each of us before sitting us down... more

We came to Costa Rica for the first time and loved every bit of it but the Tortuga Lodge was so special for us. We flew in which was amazing and then to be met by Julian with a boat to the Lodge was like we were in a scene from a James Bond Movie!. Oscar and Wilbur our waiters... more

Loved it !

Lovely site, on the river. Rooms downstairs are bigger and cooler, those upstairs are better for watching birds and have good balconies and hammocks. Staff hugely welcoming and helpful. Wildlife great - monkeys iguanas and a sloth and lots of birds just in the garden. Mosquitoes not too bad, except on the trails behind the lodge. Seeing the turtles nesting... more

We just returned from the wonderful adventure of visiting Tortuguero and staying at the Tortuga Lodge. The grounds were immaculate and the staff was incredible. We felt extremely pampered in this remote, exotic location. Our primary purpose was to see wildlife and we were not disappointed! We had a fabulous guide named Norton for our boat rides and tour of... more

We absolutely adored our stay at Tortuga Lodge. What they manage to accomplish in the middle of the jungle is absolutely amazing. Our trip began with a prompt pickup by our driver, and then a transfer to a boat for the last portion of our journey. I asked the driver if we would be able to eat lunch, and he... more

We genuinely enjoyed Tortuga Lodge. The grounds are beautiful, the room was clean and comfortable, the fresh water pool was pure and refreshing, and the food was exceptional. On our 11-day trip in Costa Rica we also stayed at Grano de Oro, Monteverde Lodge and at La Paloma Lodge and Tortuga Lodge definitely had the best food. We could view... more

Since Tortuga Lodge does not have its own website, its easy to get overlooked but its really an amazing lodge. You'll have to book through a tour company like Costa Rica Expeditions and they will ensure that your time in Tortuguero is memorable. The lodge has recently been renovated and its beautiful with comfortable large rooms to lovely garden areas.... more

We stayed three nights at Tortuga Lodge as part of a trip we booked through Costa Rica Expeditions. It is a wonderful place for enjoying nature, good food and good wine. Make sure you ask for the Tico breakfast of rice and beans w/ tortillas. It is not on their daily menu, but they will make it for you if... more

Tortuguero is an area that you must visit when you come to Costa Rica. There are more animals, birds, reptiles and monkeys than you can shake your camera at, but basically that is all there is to do. You spend at least three hours a day (and maybe twice a day) on a small boat, meandering with a guide through... more
