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.

Basic yet good
Reviewed By Kim CPachira Lodge is a nice lodge with 88 rooms and most of them are together in separate houses of four rooms together. This is really nice as it provides a more unique experience in the middle of the forest. The tours could have been a little more adventurous but I did like the guides knowledge and high level of service. The rooms are simple, yet functionable. The heat is a little unbearable when there's only a fan and not ventilation or aircondition. It takes a bit to get used to as a Nordic person. I was missing a few things in the room, e.g. a place to hang wet towels. And some sort of table to sit at during the evening when there is nothing else to do in the public areas. There is not much life around the hotel after dinner. It would have been nice with a minibar, a vending machine or a kiosk to buy snacks to enjoy in the room. It is a little annoying to have to go to the bar every single time I needed anyting. Food is....well, let's just say food is being served as an inclusion at the hotel. But I really miss a little more spice and creativity. Three nights at the hotel with the exact same tastes every night. It gets kind of boring pretty quickly. And the staff could be a little more engaged in their job.
3. 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.

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.

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!

Family of 8
Reviewed By 6coondawgsWe stayed two nights and really enjoyed this place. The location is perfect, right on the beach and just a couple minutes walk to town. We had a room with 5 beds (two sets of bunk beds and a full size bed) plus another room with a queen size bed. WiFi was pretty good. They have a table with a checked board made into and a couple hammocks. We would stay here again for sure. Very quiet, chill place with decent rooms and great outdoor space to hang out.

Excellent budget place to stay with pool
Reviewed By martynbrightonClean rooms - pool - free coffee. Kids loved it. Really good value - and the owners recommended Bonnie as a guide and the canoe tour we did with him was highlight of our trip. We stayed 3 nights but 2 is enough I reckon to do the tours- as you pay per day for national park ticket. Turtle tour also amazing.

Primera línea de playa
Reviewed By Aitziber-VitoriaEstuve alojada dos noches, el hotel mandó a alguien a buscarnos al muelle de la pavona, y cuando llegamos a Tortuguero, nos esperaba un guía, que nos llevó hasta el hotel y nos explicó todo. El hotel está a escasos metros de la playa, tiene 6 habitaciones, muy sencillas, pero limpias. No tiene aire pero si ventilador de pie. Por las noches, para no deslumbrar y proteger a las tortugas, apaga las luces y dejan luces rojas. Vimos tortugas a 50 metros sobre las 17.30 aprox. Hay que tener en cuenta que a las 18 horas, la playa se cierra y está prohibido pisar la arena( hasta 1000 doláres de multa). El recepcionista Josue un verdadero encanto, si necesitas cualquier cosa, siempre está dispuesto a ayudarte.la entrada al Parque Nacional no está lejos, y por la playa son 300 metros. Ojo con pasar al parque sin entrada, si te pilla algún guarda, 500 doláres de multa.

Great Adventure
Reviewed By arlenec2017Lovely setting right on river. Takes a half hour by boat to get there. Set in jungle. All inclusive. Food is buffet style and good and plentiful. From July through November you can see the Green Turtles nesting and hatching. Plenty of sloths, monkeys and birds to be seen.
