"We loved Anselmo and Ricardo and Mario! They were really great. I was a little dissapointed that we were not able to swim in the ocean. It's such a beautiful place and we were told that there were sharks in the water and terrible sand fleas...which there were. We hung out at the pool and enjoyed the beauty of it all. My husband was very sick and Anselmo really helped me take care of him. Four days would have normally been a little too long...but since my husband was so sick....it worked out in our favor. "

The area of Tortuguero is rightfully called "The Amazon of Costa Rica' because access is only by boat on Jungle Rivers. Turtle Beach Lodge, 5 miles north of the town of Tortuguero, is a secluded resort spanning 175 acres with miles of jungle trails, a meandering private canal, and a half mile of beach adjoining still more isolated beaches. In this jungle paradise you can delight in the turtle-shaped pool and shaded hammock hut just soaking in the beauty that abounds. Enjoy exotic drinks and dining at our restaurant that combines local cuisine with fresh fruits and vegetables.

Tortuguero is one of the most important turtle nesting sites on the western half of the Caribbean for the Green Sea Turtle. There is an active community here as well to help save the endangered species of turtles, where you can take tours and see the turtles nesting in the wild. It's quite an impressive sight. Though the turtles are the main attraction there are also other tours and activities available like hiking, jungle tours, garden tours, and canal tours.

Turtle Beach Lodge&s rooms feature comfortable beds, fans, cool tiled floors, warm showers, and many windows that let in gentle breezes and melodic sounds from the jungle. Rooms are available in different layouts to accommodate single, double and triple occupancy. We also have lovely rooms to accommodate an entire family. Some of our rooms face the gardens while some are in the jungle, 50 meters from the beach.
