1. Mawamba Lodge
Overall Ratings
4 based on 1603 reviews
Nestled in the heartland of the lush rainforest of Tortuguero Canals, Costa Rica, Mawamba Lodge and Tortuguero National Park are worth visiting year round. What makes us different? *Unbeatable location on a strip of land between the Tortuguero Canals and the Caribbean Ocean, providing direct access to both * The closest Lodge to Tortuguero town within walking distance (no need to take boats to town) * Free WI FI in selected areas of the hotel * Exciting ours including night walks in the forest, kayaking, fishing, canoes, and Katonga floating restaurant for sunset tours or dinners / lunches on board. *Medium-sized, private and quiet
Excellent location, a lot of room for improvement regarding services
Reviewed By lindaatschIdeally I’d like to give Mawamba Lodge a 3.5 rating, but as this is not possible I’ve gone for a rather generous 4. Positives: the location is really fabulous with the beach on one side and the river on the other side. Also possible to walk directly into town, which we enjoyed doing. Grounds and common areas are spacious, well looked after and very inviting. Breakfast was fresh and fine. Less positive: The rooms are very rustic. It felt rather like glamping. I didn’t mind the basicness at all, they are however rather tired and only surface clean. Walls are paper thin between rooms. When it is hot outside they are stiffling and damp. When it is cooler outside they get a bit chilly at night. Our room didn’t have a working light on the last leg of the path leading up to it and I didn’t feel at all comfortable walking to it at night in the pitch dark, especially on my own (far away from reception area). I did mention the broken path lighting at the reception but nothing was done about it. The reception staff weren’t very welcoming upon arrival and the lack of information e.g. about facilities and activities/tours etc was extremely lacking. It was also very hard work trying to find out information from them. Some customer service training very much needed! We didn’t find out until we’d been there nearly a whole day that the tap water isn’t drinkable and we only found this out quite by chance ourselves. Getting there, the surroundings, the rugged beach, the wildlife on your doorstep, the commutes by water taxi are all part of the adventure of Tortuguero. A shame that attention to detail isn’t given to the rooms and customer service/experience as well as the lovely surroundings.
2. Aninga Lodge
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 356 reviews
Surrounded by a network of the scenic canals, this Lodge is located in one of the most exotic regions of the world, characterized by its rich flora and fauna. This lovely lodge has 32 comfortable spacious bungalows with comfortable beds, private bathrooms, hot water and ceiling fans, also there is a beautiful swimming pool. Aninga Lodge has an excellent restaurant and bar service and we also offer bilingual guided tours throughout the Tortuguero area. While designing the place, our priority was to respect the environment, that's why 80% of the hotel is constructed 1.5 m (5 feet) above the ground. Restaurant, bungalows and walking trails are built on stilts, it allows not only to protect the natural habitat of animals but also lets you enjoy the panoramic view of the tropical rainforest. Moreover our determination to preserve the environment inspired us to create a Water Treatment Plant that prevents contamination of the waters in the area.
Beautiful Setting with Lots of Walking Trails - No Boots Needed!
Reviewed By Brenda TAninga Lodge, Pachira Lodge and Evergreen Lodge have the same owners. Pachira has no individual cottages, as is common at the other two. The difference that we learned is that at Aninga, the food was bland. We referred to it as "sustenance" as it was healthy but tasteless and disappointing. We met other guests from Evergreen who raved about the food and the choices, so next time we will definitely stay at Evergreen. The staff was great at Aninga and our cottage was beautiful.

A true eco experience
Reviewed By sueW2838ZUOne of our favourite places on our first trip to Costa Rica . Arrival was an adventure in itself being picked up by a 4x4 and heading off down an “ unmade road “ for 35 minutes crossing the river en route . If the river is swollen then zip lining across is an additional adventure. Accommodation is in spacious comfortable wooden cabins well spaced so feel private. Big comfy beds complete with mosquito nets with solar power providing lighting and hot water . Large decks with hammocks and seating come with a view and are ideal to relax and enjoy the sounds of the forest . Meals are on a communal basis at set times which gave us an excellent opportunity to discuss the days adventures with other guests . No meal choices but food fresh , well cooked and plentiful and for a vegetarian extremely well served . Guides were professional, friendly, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable and brought the forest to lif on the good selection of tours available ( including those on horseback or a gyrocopter).Jurgen and his team should be proud of their achievement an amazing experience and memories- highly recommended.
4. Tree House Lodge

The only tree house right on the beach of the southern Caribbean of Costa Rica. This is your best nature hotel and romantic hideaway.
Overpriced hostel: dirty, not comfortable nor functional
Reviewed By LindaMendezA way over-priced hostel without the strange people. It's definitely not a hotel let alone a lodge. Below I go in depth on our main issues. In sum for $1200/3 nights at Casa Crystal we expected a clean, comfortable, and functional house. Instead we got a dirty, not functional house, especially kitchen (you won't be able to cook!), with low pressure showers, and an OK beach. Dirty: The houses prioritize the art, not their functionality or comfort. While beds are comfortable, nothing really works. Examples: all appliances are super old, so old that despite that I imagine they do clean them, they don't look clean and you feel gross putting your bread in the toaster, making coffee, or even looking at the mirror in the bathroom. Yes, two mirrors in bathroom and you can't even see your reflection. Kitchen: Everything in kitchen is old, cheap, second-hand or it doesn't work. First and foremost, we couldn't even use the stove. Every time we wanted to use it we had to call the poor maintenance guy to come help us. Cooking took hours. Entire house had literally ONE cooking knife. First afternoon, we wanted to make guacamole (easy stuff) and we couldn't even cut the tomatoes; again had to ask them to sharpen the only knife we had. To makes things worse, kitchen is understocked. We literally had four glasses, a couple plates, there no bowls so even a fruit salad or one morning we tried to make pancakes and had to use a pot as there are no mixing bowls. Also there was one pot and two pans for a house is supposed to host up to 7 people. None of us are the chef's type, but if you want to do simple stuff like a guacamole, pancakes, or even do a salad, you will have a hard time. Showers. Both showers, first floor and second floor had low pressure water; especially upstairs this was a problem. Warm water works. Location: While you can walk to the beach, the area in front of the property has a very narrow beach space and there are lots of rocks there. If you want to go to a nice beach you have to walk like 15 mins to Playa Chiquita and that's very nice. So it's not like you can wake up and just get a dip in the water. Customer Service. The help people are really nice. This is the one saving grace. Whenever we needed to use the stove, the service guy came promptly and helped us. However, manager was resolute in not addressing our overall issues with the stay. So beware.
5. Bungalows Ache

4.5 based on 111 reviews
Cahuita and its National Park are an irresistible attraction to nature lovers. Cahuita maintains its Afro-Caribbean style; its characteristic houses, reggae music and calypso in the air. We are situated on the edge of the Cahuita National Park. It is an ideal place for those who wish to relax and appreciate the local flora and fauna, listen to birdsong and watch the monkeys high in the huge trees.
A corner of paradise in Cahuita
Reviewed By lady_ferengiWe stayed in the smallest bungalow for four nights. The garden is a corner of paradise in the middle of the forest, where you can listen to the waves of the sea and to the parrots and howler monkeys, all at the same time! The family who runs the hotel was kind and accomodating, they promptly attended to our requests and helped with small needs. The bungalows and the kitchen were always tidy and very clean, very safe also during the current pandemic. An enchanted place to stay for a few days in Cahuita.

Great place to stay in Tortuguero - 100% recommendation!
Reviewed By NatalieMaHaeWe spent 3 nights at All Rankins Eco Lodge and were very satisfied. The bungalow is simple but absolutely sufficiently equipped. The rooms were cleaned every day and we even got new bed linen after 2 nights. The breakfast and dinner was brilliant, very fresh and deliciously cooked. The whole Rankins family is very friendly and helpful. We booked our tours directly with Willis, on one tour his son was our guide. The whole lodge complex is very nicely maintained and you feel at home here. We spent 3 wonderful days in Tortuguero and would come back anytime!

My Home Away from Home
Reviewed By Andrea PIn 2019 I had a four day stay at this lovely spot in the middle of the Rainforest surrounded by colorful butterflies, orchids and even a Tapir! One my first stay I felt so at home that I felt it was hard to leave, a teary farewell and”I’ll be back soon” turned into a two year wait to be able to return. After such a long wait I decided that on my Birthday Celebration return I’d stay nine days, honestly I could have stayed longer and been happy! The staff remembered me and there were excited exchanges of welcome back, so great to see you , finally I was home again in Costa Rica.I had made it back. The idea of returning is what kept me going for two years. The food was always delicious, the breakfast a real treat with the stunning all around vista of the Rainforest and a Sloth as my breakfast companion watching down from its favorite tree. I binged on fresh fruit shakes every day; Papaya, Mango and Pineapple to name a few! For dinner I tried all of the chicken dishes and they were delicious - fortunately I missed the incredible homemade desserts by the chef as they were in the cafe ( My waist thanks me) best tres leches cake I’ve ever had! You might be wondering how did I stay busy - let’s just say I returned exhausted! I signed up for birding tours during the day with the amazing Marvin and we had a great time! My nights I booked with Costa Rican top expert on frogs, Stanley, a resident guide you can book through the park. I worked on my Macro photography until late at night! I learned so much from Stanley Salazar - don’t miss the opportunity to be guided by this knowledgeable young man and enter the world of the most gorgeous frogs I’ve ever seen!! My goal is to spend another birthday there next year! The property is huge, all pristine Rainforest, many options of things to do - maybe I’ll try some trekking next year! Oh - best of all the Tapir had a baby and I was able to see them both! Nothing short of a magical stay…

Beautiful cabin in the woods
Reviewed By travelswithhappyBeautiful, rustic cabin in the woods. The family that run it provided such warm, personable service, it was even better than expected. We had originally planned a stay in a more expensive hotel, but am so glad we didn’t - this place provided a very viable alternative and you got to have more agency around your activities.

Wonderful 3 week stay!
Reviewed By Vicki LThis was our first trip to Cahuita, and we were so fortunate to have landed in this idyllic little hotel. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and each has a beautiful little patio looking out to the ocean, which is only a few steps away. A lush garden area spans the area between the hotel and the ocean, and our very first day we spotted a sloth in the trees. Over the next three weeks we were treated to howler monkeys (wow, are they loud at 5:30 am!), poison dart frogs, more sloths, beautiful butterflies (including the blue morpho), huge moths (including a hand sized cecropia moth), and just a lovely laid back vibe. Guiseppe and Elisa, the wonderful Italian owners, are on the property every day ensuring that everyone is well taken care of. The staff are all wonderful...Phillipe, Juana, Andrea, Evalina, Edama, Daniel, the cook whose name I didn't get, and probably others, & I'm sorry if I missed someone. Every person contributed to a wonderful and relaxing stay here. We definitely plan to be back.
