This hotel was so wonderful. the staff is warm and generous. The rooms are good with a great fan on the ceiling that keep you cool. bathrooms are adequate as well. the food is delicious, the pool, the nature and the howling monkeys that wake you at 4:45. So worth the long boat ride from Pavona and the need to... More

The eating and bar area are nice. There are hammocks and a nice sitting area on the side of the lodge. Pool area was not very big at all. There is no way to leave the lodge, but by boat and that takes you to the local small town where you will find some souvenir shops, convenience stores and a... More

The ferry service from La Pavona left us at the back side of the resort, which made me ask the driver if he was sure this was La Baula. Looked totally crumpy and abandoned. But forget the first impression. Once you make it to the front, the picture changes. The cabins are rustic, clean and have all you need. Great... More

Relaxing spot. Great staff. Room was ok, there were screens on the windows, no windows, no AC, not a problem for me, but maybe not everyone. The lodge is isolated away from town and requires a boat ride across to get to town. The benefit of this is that it is very relaxing and quiet. I wouldn't spend much time... More

We stayed at the lodge on Feb. 13, 14 and 15, 2014 while visiting Tortuguero. You can access the lodge by a short boat ride from Tortuguero docks. The cost is approximately ($1, 500 Colones per person). The room was clean, spacious and facing the pool with chairs available for lounging on the veranda. The bathroom was large and clean... More

Good service, all the staff were happy to help and make your stay better. We ate at our hotel everyday as it was convenient because the town is a short boat ride across the river and the food is very good! Not to mention there are very few restaurants in the small town. None of which looked very appetizing. The... More

Relaxing, best food and service, peacefull, jungle sounds, no bugs, great pool. If you don't like this place then you shouldn't travel! We've been every where and this is right there in the top of the canopy.

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and it was absolutely perfect! We were looking for somewhere quiet where we could just relax in a beautiful place with no demands or busy activity. Our time at La Baula was just what we needed. The lodge is very charming and kept in great condition. But what made it even... More

I absolutely love this lodge. You're right on the river and pretty much in seclusion which makes it so relaxing. The rooms are average and with ceiling fans but you're in the jungle so it was perfectly fine. I will miss the staff the most ... they boost you with energy and get your day started. They're all English speaking... More
