Had a wonderful two nights at this hotel in November 2009 as part of small group tour with Bales. Couldn't fault this location. Beautiful grounds, helpful and polite staff and good food. The lodges are basic but this added to the character of the hotel and after all, this is the jungle. The weather was perfect and I will never... more

We had a 3 day/ 2 night package for Laguna Lodge in early September. The lodge is in a great spot, right between the beach and canals, but Tortuguero is pretty isolated. If you have back problems I wouldn't recommend going, since it's reached by 1 1/2-2 hours on a rough, unpaved road. The lodge itself is large with lots... more

This hotel is beautiful. The only drawback is the lack of air conditioning, it was hot. We came to Costa Rica to see the sea turtles and on our tour at night we saw three laying eggs! It was something we will not forget. The grounds are amazing, beautiful plants, toucans in the trees, iguanas. The room was very clean... more

Beach on one side of the resort and river on the other. Easy walk to the small village of Tortuguero. No roads or cars anywhere. Only means of transportaiton other than foot is river boats. Guests are from all over the world. This was the highlight of our Costa Rican vacation. We'll be back! PS No phones or TV in... more

This was one of my favorite stops on our Caravan tour. The rustic simplicity was wonderful with the Caribbean ocean on one side and the river on the other. The wildlife and grounds were beautiful. The Staff was so friendly and easy to work with. The boat rides were enjoyable and the food was delicious. The pool was relaxing and... more

I've stayed at Laguna time and time again upon returning to Tortuguero. Tortuguero is one of my favorite places in Costa Rica, and I love the boat tours and wildlife that you can access up there.. the boat tours are included in Laguna's package and I have to tell you it's more than worth it. They offer a more economical... more

This lodge is great! I wouldn't reccommend this to anyone who has a problem with insects or lizards-there are geckos and iguanas and lizards everywhere. The only life in our rooms, however, were some small cochroaches. They are pretty much impossible to keep out of the rooms though. The pool is also amazing! it doesn't get too deep, but a... more

My husband and I stayed there during high season. We had a wonderful experience. The lodge grounds were beautiful, the staff was very friendly, the accomodations were clean. However, if you want a quiet romantic getaway this is not the place. You eat with the group you came up with, family style dining. All the tours are with that group-... more

Laguna Lodge is in a beautiful setting but does not offer good value for money. The lodges are very poorly constructed - you can hear your neighbours quite clearly. Doors and windows do not fit properly so flies/mosquitoes are impossible to keep out. Bathrooms are basic but work - towels are so thin that it is impossible to dry yourselves... more
