We were staying at the Adventure Inn (great hotel) in San Jose, and were doing day trips from there to Irazu, Poas, etc. One offering they had was for an overnight to Tortuguero with several lodges offered with different prices. I asked them to inquire about the prices for the different lodges, as they all offered the same package which... more

I simply cannot understand the previous review - were they expecting a Holiday Inn in the middle of the jungle ? What's wrong with spending the evening with like minded travellers enjoying a bottle of wine ? Met with a welcome fruit punch in the waterside bar after an unforgettable boat ride up the canal viewing wildlife on the way... more

Evergreen Lodge is part of a group of hotels that operates on the tortuguero area. We were expecting to go to the "Pachira Lodge" hotel, but instead we were taken to this one. The trip to the hotel in a boat through the canals is impressive and very beautiful, but the moment we set foot at the hotel the party... more

Okay, I can understand why there is such a diversity of opinions about this place. Again, this was a hotel that was pre-arranged for me through a tour package. I was a solo traveler and didn't really know what to expect. The drive from San Jose was on the tour bus with the tour operator offering plenty of information about... more

Location was great as you are relatively remote and in the jungle. Lots of bird watching and howler monkeys. Bungalows were spartan but that was fine. I was a little thrown off by the sign that tells you to throw all toilet paper in the trash can and not the toilet but you get used to that. I'm sure all... more

Greeted by friendly staff and a delicious fruit cocktail after the 90 minute boat ride, we found our rooms to be spacious and comfortable, nestling in the rain-forest. Birds abound - toucans, parrots; amazing butterflies feed on the many flowering shrubs and Blue-jean frogs were to be found under the walkways. The food was buffet style, lots of choice and... more

Having spent quite a few hours on a coach then another hour or so on a boat when we finally arrived at the Evergreen Lodge it was a pleasure to be handed a nice fruit punch (personally it would have been even better with a nice drop of "Ron" in it!). The lodge we had was completely detached and had... more

One of the better lodges in Tortuguero for wildlife watching. This is a popular National Park so all lodges get quite full but at the Evergreen each room is a separate cabin with its own board walk in the trees giving a sense of space even when quite busy. Accommodation comfortable but simple and in keeping with the surroundings. Good... more

Ce "lodge" est horriblement cher pour la qualité (485 $ pour une nuit), vous vous retrouvez dans des bungalows style... more
