Dear mnbHolmfirth, Thank you for sharing your thoughts here in TripAdvisor. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Tortuga Lodge experience and that you liked our tenderloin steak so much that you rated it as the best you had in Costa Rica, we're honored! As mnbHolmfirth mentions, the one thing you can always count on while in the rainforest is Rain, particularly on the North Caribbean coast of Costa Rica where there is no a well-established weather pattern, but if you are looking for sunny days to experience a motorized boat ride across the creeks of Tortuguero national park accompanied by one of our expert naturalist guides that will show you the best places to explore and see the most of the local flora and fauna; then September and October are your best bet, as these are the driest months of the year on this region. Since you enjoyed your stay at Tortuga Lodge so much, we would like to recommend for your next visit to Costa Rica our sister property Monteverde Lodge & Gardens (also featured here on Trip Advisor), a “rustic elegant” experience where you’ll be welcomed with the same level of personalized service and exceptional food that you enjoyed in Tortuguero, but in the Cloud Forest this time. Whether in the rainforest or the cloud forest, our staff will make their best effort to provide you with the attention you deserve during your vacation time. Vacation Time is Precious!
