This was a fabulous place to visit. Great food, great staff. Gorgeous location. Guides were friendly and knowledgable and great with our kids. We took a tour in the canals and saw crocodiles, caimans, and so many different species of birds I couldn't count them all!

First things first - you should stay in tortuga lodge. It's a 10 minute boat ride from the village (taxi is about 10-12 $), and its really great. Beautiful rooms, great pool and great staff.

I love the fact that this is only boat-accessible. Very comfortable and staff is friendly and goes the extra mile to ensure you are comfortable and have what you need.

Our main reason for visiting Coast Rica was to enjoy it's amazing wildlife and (if it doesn't sound too pompous) to acknowledge and support the great work done in Coast Rica to develop their economy in a way that doesn't wreck their environment and therefore the options for future generations. We chose Tortuga Lodge for the contribution it makes towards... More
