    The location of the hotel was amazing, with beautiful views of the river and a great pool area. The staff were excellent and really made us feel welcome. Plus, the food was some of the best we had in Costa Rica.

    The rooms were quite basic and could use some refurbishment.

    The property is located in a beautiful area with stunning views of the river and lush gardens. The rooms are nicely decorated and the pool is a great place to relax. It was a treat to see monkeys, sloths, and various reptiles in the hotel's garden.

    The transportation to and from the village was limited and required an additional fee. The discommunication about the buffet dinner was frustrating and led to us having to go back to the village for a meal.

    Great visit to La Baula! We booked a 2-night package that included breakfast, dinner, and trips. The lodge is beautifully situated on the river, with spacious and clean accommodations. The pool was a hit with our family and the staff was helpful. We enjoyed seeing monkeys, sloths, crocodiles, and amazing birds on the tours. I would definitely recommend this lodge for a great stay.

    I recently stayed at a fantastic lodge in Tortuguero and had a wonderful time. The location was perfect, just a 5-minute boat ride away from downtown. The hotel provided its own boat, making transportation a breeze. The room was comfortable and private, allowing for a peaceful stay. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel welcome throughout my visit. The hotel also had a restaurant and a pool, adding to the overall convenience and enjoyment of my stay. One of the highlights was the turtle tour, which was an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this lodge for its great location, comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and exciting tour options.

    Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    As a family, we loved the simple yet comfortable accommodations and the beautiful scenery surrounding the lodge. the well-maintained gardens and abundance of wildlife, including monkeys, sloths, and toucans, made our stay truly unforgettable. the highlight for us was the pool, which provided endless fun and relaxation. We also enjoyed the unique experience of reaching the lodge by boat and taking boat taxis to explore the nearby village. the staff at the lodge were incredibly helpful, and the meals served were delicious, even if they didn't offer a wide variety of options.

    Nothing was too much trouble for them, which made our experience even more enjoyable.

    We had a fantastic time at La Baula Lodge during our recent stay in Tortuguero. The manager, Andres, went above and beyond to ensure our experience was perfect. The location, nestled in a secluded and peaceful patch of rainforest, was a unique and beautiful setting. We loved waking up to the sound of howler monkeys and observing monkeys right outside our room. The swimming pool area was great for relaxation and the breakfast was hands down the best we had throughout our Costa Rican adventure. The value for money was excellent, the staff were friendly, and the grounds were well-maintained.

    Totally recommend this hotel.

    I had a fantastic stay at a beautiful lodge surrounded by lush rainforest. The setting was truly amazing, with the sounds of howler monkeys and a chorus of birds waking me up every morning. The rooms were clean and basic, with comfortable beds and a great shower. The pool was perfect for cooling off from the heat, and the gardens were well-maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful, going out of their way to assist with any requests. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and satisfying, and the option to have my freshly caught fish cooked for lunch or dinner was a nice touch. The lodge also provided a package that included boat trips and a walking tour, giving me the opportunity to see a variety of wildlife. I had a memorable experience and would definitely recommend this hotel to others. Good value for money.

    The location of the hotel was perfect, right by the water and surrounded by lush tropical gardens. It was a great spot to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any request. Plus, the hotel had a nice pool where you could cool off and enjoy the view.

    That the breakfast buffet was not available for early risers. If you had an early tour booked, there was no opportunity to grab some food before heading out.

    The gardens and swimming pool at La Baula Lodge were absolutely stunning. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a gigantic iguana right next to the river while sipping on my cocktail. The staff, especially Charlie, were incredibly helpful and made my stay even more enjoyable. The breakfast was delicious with fresh fruit, eggs, and coffee. Being able to catch a boat to the center and wake up to the sound of howler monkeys was a unique and unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this hotel for its quirky charm and beautiful surroundings.

    This budget lodge is located in a fantastic rainforest setting, surrounded by lush greenery and exotic wildlife. Guests can wake up to the mesmerizing sounds of howler monkeys and enjoy the beautiful morning bird chorus. the rooms are clean and basic, with overhead fans and great showers. the breakfast buffet is simple but filling, and the staff are pleasant and helpful. the lodge also offers a small, clean pool to cool off from the heat.

    The wifi is limited to the reception area and only allows for downloads, making it impossible to upload anything.
