This was the last thing I expected when I was told I was going to an eco-lodge! First of all, this place is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. We had to take a boat for about 1.5 hours to get there from the point where our bus dropped us off, and there was only the small Tortuguero Village... More

I traveled here alone as an extension to a business trip. This whole area is so wonderful and unique! You have the Tortuguero river and canals on one side of the hotel and the Caribbean Ocean on the other. This whole ecosystem is a rarity in the world, so get over here! The beaches are protected nesting grounds for green... More

We booked an all-inclusive tour of Tortuguero through Hotel Aranjuez in San Jose, and we thought it was excellent in all respects. We didn't have any of the problems that other Trip Advisor reviewers had cited. We did have a great time and enjoyed everything! More

It was a nice hotel. It was exactly like the rest of Tortuguero. It was simple and no major luxuries. On an island that doesn't have any cars, it was exactly what you would expect. It was convenient. The guides were great. However, if you don't like eating with other couples or spending the days with the same people this... More

You shouldn't expect the Ritz or the Waldorf when you're in the jungle. What we expected was a clean place in an exotic and breathtaking setting, and that is what we got. Lovely pools, decent restaurant, rooms OK (wasn't that hot as we went in early April,but I can imagine it would be stifling in July!) Surrounded by nature--animals (an... More

The Laguna Lodge caters to organized groups, to the extent that the tables in the dining room are divided by groups, thought the pretty standard but perfectly reasonable food is the same. Service is efficient and courteous. The rooms are clean, good shower and the ceiling fans do their job in the very hot and humid climate. The grounds offer... More

It is a 90 minute boat ride to get to Tortuguero, but the Laguna Lodge is surprisingly well kept for being so far from civilization. They have two nice swimming pools and are only a couple hundred feet from the Atlantic Ocean. The ocean was quite rough, but the pools were great. No A/C or cute little soap and shampoo... More

Stayed here 2 nights on a tour. I walked around the grounds during the day and was able to view, crocodiles, toucans, iguanas and many other birds. At night was able to see some awsome frogs. The rooms are very rustic but the fan was enough to keep me cool. More

Absolutely loved the lodging and setting in the jungles on the east coast of Costa Rica. We were well taken care of in all aspects. The only wish I have was to have stayed longer! Amazing scenery and wildlife! Definitely a place to go and relax. More
