The hotel is very nice. We stayed in a standard Bungalow. The room is on the smaller side. The beds are comfortable. The air conditioning required frequent adjusting but kept the room cold once we finally figured out the right setting. We enjoyed the hot springs and large buffet breakfast every morning. All of our tour companies picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel . We had a really good stay and enjoyed all the adventure tours we had booked.

Tortuge Lodge is in a great location, it is directly across the river from the airport. Our Miss Evelyn Balcony Suite was spacious. Because our room was the last building of rooms we frequently had monkeys right outside of our room. The monkeys never came close and left anything we left on the balcony to dry alone. The hotel had one restaurant. It served all 3 meals. The food was good. We did wish that they rotated options on the menu by the end of our stay. The tours they offer and their excellent guides really make this place amazing. Tortuguero is amazing for wildlife! On the dusk hike at the hotel we say so many turtles, spider and bats. The laguna 4 tour was full of animals too. With Johnny we saw red macaws, clothes, crocodile, cayman, otter, butterflied, birds and lizards. All the guides were fantastic but Johnny was our favorite. He believed one or both of us were lucky because every tour we did was packed with animal sightings. Our main reason for traveling here was to see the sea turtles nesting. The standard nesting is great for actually seeing them lays eggs because the guide will make the chamber larger for better viewing. On our private playa 3 tour, we saw 6 turtles in 2 hours. We were able to help our guide study and tag 2 turtles that were nesting. We are very happy that we did both tours as they are very different experiences. We are looking forward to returning here with our kids in a couple of years

You are taken to the beach and sat under a pavilion until your guide is notified of a turtle you are assigned to on the beach. once you get assigned a turtle, the guide goes back and forth until the turtle is actively laying eggs. Once they are actively laying you are moved to the turtle and groups of 10 rotate through. we had 4 total groups we shared a turtle with . the guide makes the laying chamber larger so that the laying is visible to the entire group once behind the turtle. Very cool to see and the reason we came to tortuguero

ZIp lining above the rainforest canopy was incredible! absolutely breathtaking! On the sky walk we got to see Howler moneys and an eyelash pit viper. The food at the restaurant was very good. Highly recommend this well oiled adventure.

I absolutely cannot recommend this enough!!! In the 2 hours on the beach we found 6 turtles. 2 were nesting and we were able to help study and tag them. We learned so much from our guide. On the hike out to the beach you can use a flash light to get to the beach. Once on the beach no light is used. the guides are amazing at locating the turtles in the dark. They taught us so much.

Very informative and fun! it poured rain for most of our tour. They provided umbrellas which kept everything but our shoes dry. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. We had a great tour

We had a great day but you don't need a guide for this if you have a car. The hike was pretty but the waterfall is a must see if in La Fortuna. The water was too strong to allow swimming in the pool around the waterfall but people were swimming down stream from it were the current was less intense.

Hotel was in a very walkable area. Very clean room. Great views and breakfast was GREAT!

This hotel was wonderful. Incredible views and loved the private hot tub. Breakfast was delivered to the patio each morning and was always delicious.

AMAZING place. This hotel was the best. When we arrived the staff was so helpful, showed us around and gave us info on the area. We had a decent sized kitchen with everything you would need. The bathroom had anything you could have possibly needed as well as a washing machine. The bedroom had more than enough space and the deck attached was looking right over the water. Breakfast served every morning was also so so good! The best part of the hotel is the staff. They went above and beyond with everything.

The staff and food were both incredible!!

Our guide was super friendly, knowledgeable and fun. We had a blast and learned a lot!
