Transportation by boat is very difficult after hours. While the staff was able to connect us with a private transfer, it took alot of communication. ##### Jason Christian Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Dec 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Incredible stay.

Zulay at reception was fantastic! She always had a smile on her face and was so incredibly helpful while solving some problems for us. Enrique and all of the wait/bar/restaurant staff were thoughtful enough to remember our names.Amazing service and amazing resort. We highly recommend the night tour on the property if you like creepy crawly critters. Just an amazing experience for our family. ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Man Wah Oct 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful grounds with private trail. Room has good amenities and food choices/service was excellent. It’s 10min boat ride to town so it’s a bit inconvenient (trade off is super quiet hotel) and gets costly for taxi boat ($8pp one way). There was construction above our room (#15) so we couldn’t take a nap or sleep in! Otherwise it’s a superb hotel and we would absolutely come back! ##### Man Wah Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Adam Feb 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good and could be great with more inclusive rate Great service and good food. All the extras cost a bomb though so the final bill is huge. For example - a 5 minute shuttle on a boat was charged at over 30 dollars. That is a lot. Great place to stay for 2 days but not plenty to do beyond that. Good but felt a bit too much like a machine. ##### Adam Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Serena Sep 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fabulous! This lodge is hands down one of the best places I’ve ever stayed in all my years of travel. From the moment I arrived, the staff was friendly and incredibly helpful. The pickup from the small airport was seamless and really eased the anxiety of arriving in a new, unfamiliar place. The pool was a highlight, with a perfect temperature and a unique design that overlooks the water—truly stunning. My room had tasteful, colorful decor and featured some fun outdoor furniture, giving it a lively, tropical vibe. It was also impeccably clean, which can be challenging in a tropical environment, but the staff does an excellent job maintaining it. Another thoughtful touch was the umbrellas provided in each room, a lifesaver in a place where it rains so often. Fun benefit - the sound of howler monkeys in the mornings made the experience quite special. The room was also incredibly quiet, ensuring I had great sleep each night. Getting into town was super easy with the water taxi service. All in all, I had an amazing stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone! ##### Serena Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jane Aug 18, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fabulous stay at Tortuga Lodge We loved everything about our stay at Tortuga Lodge. If you're looking for a place that provides both luxury and adventure, this is it. I never imagined I would enjoy a 6:00 am boat ride in the pouring rain on Rio Tortuguero, but since I was comfortably ensconced in my hotel provided poncho, I could fully appreciate the bounties of nature in all of its glory. The abundance of wildlife, skillfully pointed out by our wonderful hawk-eyes guide, Luis, truly made this a unique and special adventure. The highlight of our visit was the 10:00 pm trip to the Caribbean side to see greenback turtles nesting. No photos allowed or necessary. This incredible experience seeing turtles emerge from the water and watching them dig a hole with their flippers and lay their eggs is seared in my memory. While I know our guide Luis had experienced this thousands of times before, his enthusiasm for each new wonder of nature for us made each sighting all the more special. The hotel staff was amazingly friendly and helpful. Kudos to the chef for our wonderful meals. All in all, we had a fabulous three days at Tortuga Lodge and hope to return again soon! ##### Jane Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen Jan 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel location is beautiful, although we didn't realise it couldn't be accessed by road, so please note that if you have a car you have to drive to one of the areas where you can get the boat taxis and leave your car behind. This, however, was a great way to get to the hotel. We had a room with a large balcony and lovely view, and our private tour the next day of the national park, with Elvis, was outstanding and definitely worth the money (although not cheap!). We saw so much from the water and would recommend it to anyone. There isn't anything to do at night, and dinner is from 6 - 8.30pm, but as most tours start from 6am this wasn't a problem as going to bed early is recommended. Beautiful, quiet location, with a free transfer to the local town, although only an hour is needed there as it is just a street with restaurants and shops. The beach isn't anything to write home about, as it is black sandy strewn with wood, so not somewhere nice to sit, but it is worth catching the free boat across the river to have a look at it, and this is also where the air strip is for the plane if you are arriving from San Jose this way. The staff were lovely, the pool is a lovely added bonus and we enjoyed a couple of hours by it and swam in it too. I would highly recommend this hotel if staying in Tortoguero National Park, which is a must if visiting Costa Rica. ##### Helen Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Aug 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The place offers really unique and relaxing experience. The grounds are beautiful, the staff is extremely helpful and accommodating. We loved the rooms though hard surfaces could use better cleaning and BR could use an upgrade. The ac was dripping pretty badly on the first day of our arrival but it was quickly fixed. The food, staff and their services were impeccable. My biggest disappointment had to do with the steep fee charged for tours. We knew that direct booking through any hotel would be a bit more expensive but 3 times more felt simply exploitative. All the tours offer the same experience but you would pay a third or less booking with external providers. Additionally, there is no access to places outside the hotel except their services which were both quite expensive and limited in times. Also we were not aware that the last boat to get to the lodge leaves at 3:00pm. We had to change our flights to arrive a day early so we could make it on time from SJ. I wish someone would have informed us of this at the time of booking or on their site. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Stephan Jul 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hotel was nice and beautiful, the staff was lovely and always wanting to help. However I cannot give the maximum rates for the following reasons : when spending this amount for an hotel room I expect all details to be looked after, for a perfect and personnalized experience. This was not the case: the lights were not functionning properly when we got the room and we had to ask for the maintenance to fix them. They only fixed half of it and we decided not to complain for the second problem (the lights in the bathroom were not correctly functionning) : in a 5 star hotel you should not need to ask for theses details to be taken care of. We also had to call for the mosquito shades that would not close properly when entering the room. Boats belonging to the hotel were moored right under our windows : they would make noise everytime waves were created by passing boats = 50 times per day/night. They could also improve the hospitality with simple services such as : Tortuger is among the places in the world with the most rain falls. Once wet your cloth won't dry anymore. There is nothing to help you hang your clothes in the room or in the hotel. The only alternative is the paying laundry service. Finally when checking out no one came to carry our luggages from the room to the dock. We still had a great time but I would not spend such an amount for this quality in the future. ##### Stephan Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexandra Apr 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 10/10 Punkten würde ich geben - falls ich könnte.

Only downside was the transportation option offered by the lodge itself was very limited - they should offer more boat transfers from the mainland. And install blackout curtains in the rooms - made it impossible to nap in the afternoons! ##### Maneera Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cabin Rentals Northwestern Ontario](https://www.expedia.ca/Northwestern-Ontario-Cabins.d6210077-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Beach Hotel in Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Beach-Hotel.0-0-d178280-tBeachHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Kelowna](https://www.expedia.ca/Kelowna-Hotels.d3997.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel Emion Tokyo Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Tokyo-Hotels-Hotel-Emion-Tokyo-Bay.h7983024.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Banana Azul - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Viejo-De-Talamanca-Hotels-Hotel-Banana-Azul-Adults-Only.h10404415.Hotel-Information) > > [Royalton Hideaway Blue Waters - Montego Bay, An Autograph Collection® All-Inclusive Resort - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Royalton-White-Sands-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h6317585.Hotel-Information) > > [Aloft New Delhi Aerocity](https://www.expedia.ca/Delhi-Hotels-Aloft-New-Delhi-Aerocity.h24408483.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels.d178314.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Revelstoke](https://www.expedia.ca/Revelstoke-Hotels.d10607.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels.d1312.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cabin Rentals Agassiz](https://www.expedia.ca/Agassiz-Cabins.d6131558-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Churchill (YYQ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yyq/toronto-to-churchill) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Tampa (TPA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/tpa/montreal-to-tampa) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Kingston (KIN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/kin/toronto-to-kingston) > > [Flights from Great Falls (GTF) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/gtf/las/great-falls-to-las-vegas) > > [Flights from Rome (FCO) to Amsterdam (AMS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/fco/ams/rome-to-amsterdam) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to West Palm Beach (PBI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/pbi/montreal-to-west-palm-beach) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Ho Chi Minh City (SGN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/sgn/edmonton-to-ho-chi-minh-city) > > [Flights from Cassidy (YCD) to Alberta (YQL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ycd/yql/nanaimo-to-lethbridge) ### Cars > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Fort St John](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Fort-St-John.d57378-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Car rentals in Moreton-in-Marsh](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Moreton-In-Marsh.d4400.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Flamenco Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Flamenco-Beach-Culebra.d6081849.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Douglas Memorial Hospital](https://www.expedia.ca/Douglas-Memorial-Hospital-Fort-Erie.d6228596.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Iceland Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Iceland.d79.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Detroit Opera House](https://www.expedia.ca/Detroit-Opera-House-Downtown-Detroit.d6074428.Vacation-Attraction) ### Vacation Rentals > [Victoria Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Vacation-Rentals.d4138.Travel-Guide-VacationRentals) > > [Istanbul Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Vacation-Rentals.d178267.Travel-Guide-VacationRentals)
