What a special place! The physical space is beautiful. The wildlife on the property and the gardens and general space were exceptional. Loved seeing toucans and monkeys right by our room. Loved walking to the ocean and river and town so easily. Wonderful boat tours of the national park with Steven. He blew us away with his knowledge of the flora and fauna of the area. Great responsiveness to emails and any questions or concerns. Also wonderful night tour with Humberto! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fce59ec1-09eb-40e3-88de-aaac82be27e8-1762478094300.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bab6d40c-01f5-4aa0-85dc-7bb48b4c5eb7-1762478088583.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e2c80d35-fc9f-4e1e-b43b-3904377dcd69-1762478104898.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Amy Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Dec 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is my second time in Tortuguero but my first at Mawamba. I’d seen the beautiful grounds before and wanted to experience it in person, This is a nature lovers paradise! The grounds are beautifully maintained with native plants, lots of walking trails which are inviting to so much wildlife including toucans, orenpendula, parrots, macaws, red eyed tree frogs and so much more. Tortuguero National Park is a short walk away and I went there often. But I love the tours that Mawamba offers, kayak tours, birding tours, canal tours and an enjoyable floating restaurant. Rather than hop around all over Costa Rica, I spent nearly a week, and I’m glad I did. The staff is very accommodating, the food is good and the guides area amazingly skilled in the history of the area, the natural heritage and spotting wildlife. I’m very impressed and I will definitely return. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4ade18ca-f6e8-4703-81d3-1b84978ff5e5-1766508118963.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f7c89b1e-91d4-4d3b-bc41-dfd601a76769-1766508119538.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/42e1fd18-7bbe-47de-a27e-61ca0a1d228d-1766508118880.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6b5f4c99-b0b8-4dbb-bb3b-d2fb6bfd90a3-1766508118217.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### David Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kayleigh Jun 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property with basic but comfortable & clean accommodation.

Would stay again!!! ##### Jared Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ada Nov 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing wildlife around the hotel. Could hear the ocean at night. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The tours were fantastic. Will be back! ##### Ada Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Tim Dec 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Fantastic nature & wildlife. Ask for a boat tour with Miguel. Long Caribbean beach nearby. Our dimly lit Bungalow a bit rustic, no aircon/fridge/kettle. Pool area, bar and restaurant good. ##### Tim Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shannon Jan 28, 2025 Mawamba Lodge is very lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed the facility, walking along the beach, and strolling through the village of Tortuguero. Mawamba has a recycling station where you can pick up a bucket, walk along the beach and pick up garbage left behind by the tide. We like thinking we may have made a little difference for the turtles. ##### Shannon Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kariel Jul 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My husband and I loved our time here. From the bus pick up in San Jose, the boat ride to the lodge and everything the lodge has to offer, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The lodge has so many activities to offer, we always had something to do. The food and drinks were delicious! The rooms were clean, however, the walls are very thin, so bring earplugs incase you have noisy neighbors. ##### Kariel Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jessica Apr 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Beautiful beautiful location and lodge! Just very hot in the room during the day with ceiling fan not doing much… made the cold shower more welcome (no hot water). ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3251AFEEF90D70A5B8F6A0B34F3DA91EDC8619231714219995679.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B79D5DA350073E9CAC271B93EEA5C08CBBB76B5B1714219995348.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jessica Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bruce Feb 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff, setting, and food were all awesome. It was a peaceful, natural hotel. Prepare for rain. It’s a part of the experience, and there were lots of breaks in the rain, even some sun around the pool in the afternoon. The night walk was unforgettable, the little town of Tortuguero so interesting, and the water transport to and from Pavona docks was so mesmerizing and unique. I loved the staff who work at Mawamba! Big shout out to the restaurant staff, chefs, and bar staff. ##### Bruce Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emma Sep 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a little gem of a place. The rooms are basic but comfortable, the foods limited but for where you are, this is not surprising. The wildlife & staff really made it. The staff where really accommodating. 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 #### David Feb 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Mawamba Adventure Our stay was enjoyable. We loved the grounds, landscape, flowers, carvings, shrubbery and trees. The cabins would have been improved by having at least 2 chairs - inside and on the porch. We would have liked to have a posted schedule of tours, activities and times/info about these events. ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle Sep 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Mawamba lodge was a beautiful property! It looks prettier in person - photos don’t do it justice! The pool was great and much needed to just cool down a little bit! The staff was very attentive and the food was honestly pretty great. The only thing is, the weather is VERY humid and there is no air conditioning anywhere so be prepared. The bugs are pretty bad, bug spray is much needed! Regardless, this was a great place to visit and I have nothing bad to say about the property! ##### Michelle Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Elizabeth Jul 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Needing Improvement: -No hooks of any kind to hang bath towels, pool towels, wet swimsuits, etc. -Safe was unusable with broken lock and unbolted -Reception desk staff and restaurant staff unfriendly; more Pura Vida -no AC -broken lamp but fixed after two days -not the best food; first day vegan options were limited (soup only) but later improved What we liked: -Beautiful large grounds next to the beach and walking distance along the beach to town -room looking at the river -Swimming pool -great shower -refillable water - nice kayaking tour with guide ##### Elizabeth Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [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 Mississauga (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 Mississauga (YYZ) to Minneapolis (MSP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/msp/toronto-to-minneapolis) > > [Flights from Hounslow (LHR) to Richmond (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lhr/yvr/london-to-vancouver) > > [Air Canada Mississauga (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 Richmond (YVR) to Mumbai (BOM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/bom/vancouver-to-mumbai) ### Cars ### Cruise ### Packages > [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
