Tortuga Lodge ★★★★

"This is one of the loveliest hotels I have ever had the pleasure of staying in. It is quiet and ideal for those who want to be surrounded by peace and wildlife. The food is beautiful and the staff are friendly and make every moment feel special. Everyone was so kind but we would love to mention Luis, Michael, Andy, Gabriela and Martina who were patient and encouraging when we tried out our terrible Spanish on them! For us, the hotel offered the perfect balance of nature related activity and relaxation. We are already planning to return!"

Hotel Serendipity Tortuguero ★★

"Serendipity Hotel, Tortuguero, Costa Rica In May of last year we visited a luxurious inclusive western-style resort within an hour drive from the Liberia airport. It was lovely with plenty of food and drink. However, we were over 3 hours away one way by car from the real beauties of rain forest and it’s abundant exotic inhabitants. It was very exhausting to say the least to spend most of your day on the road instead of enjoying the wonders of Costa Rica. Later that year we found out about Tortuguero, which looked like a true gem of the Rainforest life based on a little research we have done. Without a delay we immediately decided to explore the island. We found it to be be even better than few Google searches have revealed. The Tortuguero island is located a smooth and picturesque 2.5 hour drive from the San Jose airport and then 40 minutes by boat, which seemed more like a Disney jungle cruise. At the dock we were greeted by a friendly Serendipity Hotel representative, who was holding a sign with our names on it. The moment we set our foot on the island the hotel staff made us feel welcomed and at home! The Serendipity hotel itself was only a short 4 minute walk from the dock. And the location could not be more perfect: right in the middle of Tortuguero and only few hundred feet away from the National Rainforest park, ocean beach and a river with a large variety of restaurants. Friendly hotel staff was on site 24/7 always ready to help or provided the needed. For meals we had a choice of tasty traditional Costa Rican menu. And for breakfast we had an option of traditional American. The hotel staff went above and beyond to make vegetarian meals for me that I absolutely loved. The hotel’s clean modern rooms with super quiet AC units in each was a true luxury. What a change compared to a Marriott hotel in San Jose where I could not sleep due to a noisy AC. We were in the middle of the rainforest for 5 days! Canoeing, kayaking, walks in the virgin Rainforest, climbing a dormant volcano, night walks with a guide to explore the island’s nightlife and amazing sunsets…I took so many wonderful photos, that we keep going thru even now, several months after our trip. Having experienced such a paradise, I can say with a definite certainty there are no more all inclusive resorts for me…only Serendipity Hotel on Tortuguero! In conclusion, we will definitely go back to Tortuguero soon, as the place feels like home with amazing ecotourism opportunities and wonderful at home like comfort of the Serendipity hotel. "

Casa Marbella ★★

"Beautiful guesthouse located right on the riverbank so imagine having breakfast in this place 😍. We highly recommend this place: friendly staff, spacious rooms with warm water and airco, tasty breakfast, fridge, microwave,…anything you could ever need on your stay in Tortuguero. And the boat drops you of right at the front door, do I need to say more!"

Aninga Lodge ★★★

"Excellent Stay at Angina Hotel & Spa – Tortuguero We had an excellent stay at Angina Hotel & Spa in Tortuguero and were very happy with our experience. The food was nice and traditional with enough variety and good quality at every meal. Very good fruit at breakfast. I had a wonderful massage. The lady had magical fingers and the hot towels made me feel very relaxed. The boat trips were fantastic and well organised, offering amazing views and wildlife spotting, couldn’t do it without your amazing guides. Each of them are passionate about there wildlife. while the guided walks were very informative and taught us a lot about the area, its nature, and wildlife. One important tip for future guests: be sure to bring warm clothing, as it can get cool, be sure to bring waterproof footwear and a very good raincoat. The weather changes quickly, and being prepared makes the experience much more enjoyable. Overall, this hotel is a great choice in Tortuguero, combining comfort, great food, and excellent activities. We would definitely recommend staying here."
