Tortuga Lodge & Gardens: A Jungle Getaway

A friendly, rainforest stay

Welcome to Tortuga Lodge & Gardens!

Located on the northern Caribbean coast of Costa Rica and accessible only by boat or air, Tortuguero is one of Costa Rica's way-off-the-beaten-path treasures. The national park here is comprised of remote rainforests, rivers, and beaches, and is one of Costa Rica's best destinations for nature lovers and ecotourists.

In the heart of this remote area is Tortuga Lodge & Gardens, one of Costa Rica's friendliest hotels and a perfect destination for exploring nature.

An Upscale Ecolodge

An Upscale Ecolodge

Despite the remoteness of Tortuguero, you'll find yourself in an upscale, comfortable ecolodge with 29-rooms. Each room at Tortuga Lodge comes equipped with A/C (two rooms have ceiling fans), hairdryers, wifi, safes, and terraces to sit outside on and enjoy the sounds of the rainforest. The property’s onsite amenities include a fabulous spa (You can also request in-room spa services), a refreshing pool and jacuzzi, and kayaks for you to take out onto the river and explore.

A Meal-Inclusive Stay

A Meal-Inclusive Stay

Tortuga Lodge is close enough to the village of Tortuguero for guests to check out and enjoy the unique culture of this part of Costa Rica, but you need a boat to get there. To that end, because of the remoteness and difficulty of getting to and from the lodge, daily a la carte meals are included in your stay - breakfast, lunch, and dinner plus afternoon coffee with a delicious homemade pastry. 

You'll find your three lovingly prepared meals at the on-site restaurant, the Green Turtle. The plant-based menu at the Green Turtle, will take your culinary experience to a whole new level. Non-vegetarians need not fear - meat is also on the menu at this riverside restaurant with sweeping rainforest views.
