In a two night stay in the property's gardens we saw, lots of iguana's, tocan's, green macaw's & a howler monkey. On the beach, we saw baby leatherback turtles & on a paid trek, green turtles nesting. ##### Emma Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Christophe Dec 23, 2022 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Room comfort #### Excellent food and location, less so for comfort The actual lodges are just ok.

We were sad to leave. ##### Susan ### 6/10 Okay #### Arpitha Jul 1, 2023 Liked: Staff & service For the area it is in, the property is decent. There is no service beyond getting you checked in. The focus in this area is to get you to buy more add on services so everything is available at a charge.The people at the reception, restaurant and boat were friendly. ##### Arpitha Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Thomas Feb 25, 2025 #### Inflexible, even for Central America. We had to change our reservations a few day before we arrived but couldn’t because of the hotels no change policy. We called but no answers. We messaged and they finally answered two days later. We asked for an exception. They said we had to do it through hotels.com. Hotels said we would have to ask the hotel but they couldn’t get a hold of them. Each said we had to contact the other until we missed our check in. All we wanted to do was get in later. In any event, make sure you don’t have to change your plans at all. ##### Thomas Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### khue Sep 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Overall we enjoyed our stay here. Pros: the room was very clean, the amenities (especially the pool) are really great, the staff are helpful, and the landscaping is beautiful. Cons: the rooms don't have AC so it gets very hot during the day. the walls are very thin so you can hear your neighbors if they are packing loudly. The hotel is accessible by quick water taxi from tortuguero or by a 1.5 km walk on a dirt road. From la pavona, take a water taxi to tortuguero. Don't take the hotel's private transport service from la pavona which costs $30 per person. I feel like the water taxi service from tortuguero to the hotel should be provided by the hotel for free--they have the resources to do it, but they don't because they would rather nickel and dime you for everything. ##### khue Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### cecilia Sep 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities El hotel es precioso, las habitaciones (la estándar en nuestro caso) sencillas y algo pequeñas para una familia de 4 miembros pero muy bonitas. El entorno y las zonas comunes muy bonitas. La piscina una maravilla y resulta muy cómodo para visitar el pueblo de Tortuguero a pie sin necesidad de contratar un desplazamiento. Además puedes ver muchos animales sin salir del hotel. El único aspecto a mejorar es el tema de la comida. Solo probamos el almuerzo informal en el bar de la piscina y nos quitó las ganas de probar más. Pedimos unos perritos por 9$ cada uno y era minúsculo, media palma de la mano acompañado de 4 patatas tipo chips de bolsa. Hay mejores alternativas para comer en el pueblo caminando por la playa a 10 minutos. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/30fb1dde-d0ba-4ee7-a77f-ec278902ab88-1757246419121.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9e93f6da-cb76-49b9-830e-33a47201cb57-1757246418783.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4759d754-b76d-461a-9169-b2a7e90c4f67-1757246418899.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/32082a19-6714-4f49-aba5-35ee0457c9f3-1757246615653.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### cecilia Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Guillermo Sep 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Es un sitio espectacular. El único inconveniente fue que el último día no había agua caliente. ##### Guillermo Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne-Marie Aug 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent stay at Mawamba lodge. Gardens around the ground are great and we saw sloths and Toucans a short walk from our room. Breakfast was great as was the dinner we had at the restaurant. Pool can get quite busy with families and children. Town is only a short walk away or they can provide a river taxi. Also took part in the tours arranged by the hotel which was fantastic with a very knowledgeable tour guide. Would highly recommend it visiting Tortuguero ##### Anne-Marie Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Emilie Jul 23, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Confort pas à la hauteur de nos attentes Bon emplacement à 15 min à pied du village et du parc Confort moyen: pas d’eau chaude, pas de wifi dans les chambres et aucune insonorisation ( pas de fenêtre, juste des moustiquaires) Personnel pas des plus agréables Petit déjeuner moyen ##### Emilie Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### alexandra Jul 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Dépaysement total dans ce beau lodge..jardin magnifique..petit dejeuner correct et le dîner se passe un peu dans la pénombre ce qui donne une certaine atmosphère..piscine un peu fraîche mais vu la chaleur c'est agréable..personnel à l'écoute très sympathique ainsi que le manager !je recommande vivement ##### alexandra Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pascal Jul 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Het Hotel ligt tussen Caribische zee en het kanaal midden in de natuur een prachtige accomodatie die zich engageert voor natuur behoud ..vriendelijk personeel en locale bevolking een aanrader ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5835293b-7b14-459a-ac13-7edef04c6baf-1751328085773.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0e0b4ebb-097d-46df-bba4-a702d5dea0b7-1751328091424.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Pascal Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah Jun 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property.

Wenn man das Boot verlässt ist man gleich bezaubert von der wunderschönen und top gepflegten Anlage. Ein kleiner Pool lädt zum Schwimmen ein. Die Zimmer sind klein, aber funktional. Eine Hängematte vor der Tür und die, die in der Anlage verteilt sind, laden zum Träumen ein. Highlight unseres Aufenthaltes war die frühmorgenliche Fahrt durch den Nationalpark mit dem Kanu, da man mit den kleinen Booten noch tiefer in den Dschungel vordringen kann. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker, für die anderen Mahlzeiten sind wir lieber in den Ort gelaufen und abends mit Stirnlampen auf dem unbeleuchteten Weg zurück. ##### Erik-Frank Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### james May 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Disappointed First, we had stayed at this hotel in, I believe, 2021and had a very good experience. We booked this visit based on that experience. Your site sent us information stating that basically there was an active COVID infestation and strict sanitary precautions were to be observed, which included intermittent temperature checks. This appeared to come from the hotel but as I found out came from Hotels .com. It took me two days to contact someone from the hotel because no one answered phonecalls or text messages. Finally I was able to contact the hotel via email after speaking with someone on your site. Turns out the information ##### james Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Courtyard by Marriott King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kailua-Kona-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-King-Kamehamehas-Kona-Beach-Hotel.h21741.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Haciendas All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-The-Royal-Haciendas-All-Inclusive.h3205175.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Banff National Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-National-Park-Hotels.0-l602291-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Bellagio](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Bellagio.h140596.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosen Centre Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Rosen-Centre-Hotel.h11432.Hotel-Information) > > [Motel6 Hotels in Southern Ontario](https://www.expedia.ca/Southern-Ontario-Hotels-Motel-6.0-0-d6210011--bMotel6.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in New York](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels.d178293.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Calgary S-Macleod Trail S by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Calgary-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Calgary-S-Macleod-Trail-S.h519787.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Acropolis](https://www.expedia.ca/Acropolis-Hotels.0-l6051641-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Rivage Sorrento](https://www.expedia.ca/Sorrento-Hotels-Hotel-Rivage-Sorrento.h1766371.Hotel-Information) > > [Breathless Punta Cana Resort & Spa - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Breathless-Punta-Cana-Resort-Spa-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h6411385.Hotel-Information) > > [Venetian Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Naxos-Hotels-Venetian-Suites.h42715750.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Banana Azul - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Viejo-De-Talamanca-Hotels-Hotel-Banana-Azul-Adults-Only.h10404415.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels.d178280.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Le Blanc Spa Resort Cancun - Adults Only - All-Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Le-Blanc-Spa-Resort-Cancun-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h27301.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Saskatoon (YXE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/yxe/ottawa-to-saskatoon) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/las/toronto-to-las-vegas) > > [Flights from Kalispell (FCA) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/fca/lax/kalispell-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Minneapolis - St. Paul (MSP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/msp/toronto-to-minneapolis) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lhr/yvr/london-to-vancouver) > > [Air Canada Toronto (YYZ) to Cancun (CUN) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/air-canada-from-pearson-intl-to-cancun-intl/ac/yyz/cun) > > [Flights from Buffalo (BUF) to Ottawa (YOW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/buf/yow/buffalo-to-ottawa) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Mumbai (BOM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/bom/vancouver-to-mumbai) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Whitehorse](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Whitehorse-Intl.d6033862.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Cruise > [Norwegian Norwegian Escape Cruises](https://www.expedia.ca/Norwegian-Cruise-Line-Norwegian-Escape.cNC-s30.Cruise-Ship-Info) ### Packages > [Costa Rica Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Costa-Rica.d42.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations) > > [Capri Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Capri.d9469.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Busan](https://www.expedia.ca/Busan.dx602043)
