Since Tortuga Lodge does not have its own website, its easy to get overlooked but its really an amazing lodge. You'll have to book through a tour company like Costa Rica Expeditions and they will ensure that your time in Tortuguero is memorable. The lodge has recently been renovated and its beautiful with comfortable large rooms to lovely garden areas.... more

We stayed three nights at Tortuga Lodge as part of a trip we booked through Costa Rica Expeditions. It is a wonderful place for enjoying nature, good food and good wine. Make sure you ask for the Tico breakfast of rice and beans w/ tortillas. It is not on their daily menu, but they will make it for you if... more

Tortuguero is an area that you must visit when you come to Costa Rica. There are more animals, birds, reptiles and monkeys than you can shake your camera at, but basically that is all there is to do. You spend at least three hours a day (and maybe twice a day) on a small boat, meandering with a guide through... more

We stayed here Feb 22 and 23 and it was wonderful. The airstrip was repaired so we flew in there and took the boat to Limon and then a van to our next location. The service was over the top - the entire staff could not have been more welcoming and accomodating. Julian and Harry in particular were just wonderful.... more

The Tortuga Lodge is a great place when it is not raining (like a monsoon). To get there, we used Costa Rica Expeditions, they picked us up on time, took us to the boat pickup. Unfortunately, the weather is not controlable, it was raining so hard there was a mudslide, and then had to don rain ponchos and sit on... more

This was the first stop on our honeymoon and we had an absolutely wonderful time. As a note, the Tortuguero airport is currently closed for repair and you have to get there via Barra del Colorado if you decide to fly there. It was about an half hour boat road which was actually enjoyable. Anyway, once we got there in... more

We visited the Tortugero Lodge on the tail end of our Costa Rica trip. Costa Rica Expeditions runs the lodge and from what I gather, does several well organized trips / tours involving their hotel / lodges. Costa Rica Expeditions picked us up at our hotel on time in a clean, newish van. Getting to the lodge involved driving for... more

We loved this hotel and the area of Tortuguero with its caribbean feel. The landscapes of Tortuguero are really different to the rest of Costa Rica with the "manglares". The rides with the boats are great! People say this is a very turistic area and avoid it, but we would really recommend it. In the hotel there was a very... more

I'd wanted to visit Tortuguero in Costa Rica for a while now during the Sea Turtle nesting season and I finally got to do it during the Labor Day holiday. Costa Rica Expeditions, the company that also owns the Lodge, provided an excellent service and arranged all the details of transportation and stay. The guides, drivers, pilots were all great,... more
