Tortuga Lodge

The area of Tortuguero is rightfully called “The Amazon of Costa Rica” because access is only by boat on Jungle Rivers. Tortuga Lodge is situated on 50 acres of private land on Costa Rica’s northeast Caribbean coast. All rooms at Tortuga Lodge have almost as much window area as walls and the restaurant starts at the river dock and reluctantly moves inland. Delectable meals are created by their chef, Valentino, who specializes in local and international dishes. Designed to blend into the river environment, the pool features an environmentally-friendly purification system that uses an undetectable amount of salt instead of commercial chlorine. The water does not irritate the eyes.
