This really is an experience. A real jungle adventure, but seriously, whatever your expectation, lower and then embrace it! Forget air con, tv's, hair dryers, this basic at it's most basic, although there is a good pool and a free wi-fi zone. The food was good, service was ok, the bar was pretty well stocked, the made some great cocktails!... More

A wonderful first experience of costa rica. Set right in the jungle and only accessible via a two hour boat ride. The lodge was ideal with all you needed to get an authentic jungle experience with no tv or a/c but ceiling fan and mosquito netting so you wake up with the wildlife. Loads of different animals and birds to... More

This was the second stop on an 11 day journey for our group from ABC tours. I am going to say that this Lodge was a wonderful, rustic, exotic hotel and my husband and I just loved it. No tv, no telephone and air conditioner in room (ceiling fans), no hairdryer but the most beautiful grounds and we even did... More

We enjoyed our stay at the Evergreen lodge. The package was a great overall value which included three tours, transportation to/from Tortuguero (not easy to acquire), six meals and a very comfortable lodge stay with pool and free kayaks. The guides were very good. The lodge was comfortable and had everything we needed. The meals could have offered a bit... More

This was our first stop on a 10 day visit to Costa Rica. The cabanas are rustic, but pleasant. They are connected by raised walkways, necessary due to the frequent heavy rain showers. The bathroom was very small. The dining hall reminded me of summer camp. Get a table on the veranda if you can, it's nicer. The food was... More

This was our first hotel in our 12 day world of nature tour with Collette tours. I can tell you the place is magical in that it is in a rainforest and it takes an hour and a half by boat to get there. On the way in the boat had to stop and help another boat that was stuck.... More

What a location ! Takes you 2 hours by boat to get there. Once arrived you discover a beautiful lodge, surrounded by tropical garden. Terrace with rocking chairs. It is not necessary, though strongly recommended, to leave the cottage to discover nature : you are in the middle of it! Very friendly staff, nice breakfast buffet and dinner. Real jungle... More

We booked our trip through Gecko Tours. Our guide, Manfred was fantastic. His knowledgeable about the critters and the plant life was excellent. He was also very funny, which also helps. We stayed at the Evergreen Lodge and the accommodation was very well appointed. If you have time it is very well worth the trip. Birders just get out of... More

Don't stay at Evergreen if you're looking for plush 4 star accommodation - the experience you get staying here is unique but it's not the Ritz! What you do get the opportunity to sleep in a room on stilts with no glass in the windows (only mosquito netting) with Anteaters, frogs, vultures and various monkeys. Being woken at 5:25am by... More
