Pachira Lodge was a great place to stay to explore the Tortuguero area. The lodges were surrounded by the forest with plenty of animal spotting. The buffet style restaurant let the property down with food on repeat at lunch and dinner and for the 3 nights of our stay.

Wilderness atmosphere, recommend this to everyone

The Hotel was like a cabin lodge experience. It was immersed into the nature, the pool was great, staff was so friendly. The nature awakening tour was great as well. The village is a quick 5 min boat ride.

The property is nice and lots of trees and birds chirping in the morning. There is no AC, only fans so a bit uncomfortable. Atmosphere was serene. Had to access the main town only by boat.

We were upgraded to a bungalow which looked great and was extremely spacious. We felt like we were staying in the middle of the jungle. Pool area was lovely with loads of wildlife. Only downside was that the shower lacked any power.

Very nice place, located in a piece of Heaven. Keep in mind that it is not connected by land to the town so, you are forced to pay for boat rides. It is a lovely place. (Too expensive for the service they provide, I think)

Such a beautiful place in the middle of nature. I loved their pool and food was amazing (we got the “full board” option for all of our meals paid for and it was definitely worth it, buffet style, delicious). Staff were incredible, kind and always helpful! Clean rooms - with all you need. Since you are in the middle of the forest, you get awaken by howler monkeys and birds, which I loved - being right inside the forest. Fan helped keep it nice and fresh at night, exactly what we needed! Perfecto location for us … in front of the town, 5 min by boat! Very private, and yet close to town! I would definitely stay here again!! Thank you!

Although its located in a jungle, these are cabins. Windows does not have doors just a mesh, so if you are a light sleeper it gets really noisy. Receptionists not friendly

Jungle lodge, basic but nice pool

We stayed here for three nights. Enjoyed ourselves. Standout points: - great pool from which we spotted toucans, spider monkeys, and a variety of other wildlife - paper thin walls in the rooms (could hear our neighbours speaking at a normal volume) - bat and a cockroach both found their way into our room, but we’re in the jungle so… to be expected? - front desk was - sometimes - staffed - and sometimes not - not much to do around the property (and by that, I mean nothing, except for the pool and a small walking trail). Once you’re here, you’re stuck unless you’re taking a water taxi off the property ($5 per person each way into town) - amazing wildlife everywhere. Crabs burrowing in holes, iguanas and green basilisks, the jungle soundtrack is truly outstanding - eco friendly - no A/C, TVs or fridges in the rooms- basic, but you’re in the jungle. Enjoy the jungle! - meal times felt like summer camp (food was basic); wish they had coffee in the room or coffee provided throughout the day in a localized spot Overall we enjoyed our stay.

We were not provided with information about arrival arrangements or tours even though I had emailed the property about the latter. We were told that the last boat to the property was at 4 or 4.30pm. In fact this was for the public taxi boat and we weren't informed that we could take a private boat if we arrived late. It was all very confusing and stressful. The property itself is beautiful with lots of animals to watch but the food is not good and we were placed at poorly placed tables and were told where to sit with little option to change places. The rooms are close together so we can hear other guests in their rooms and using the facilities. I had to ask the staff twice to change my sheets and pillows as the former was not clean and the latter smelled bad. They did eventually change them. Also the pool towel was stained do I had to ask to change that also. The reception staff were generally nice but didn't have a lot of information which we needed. We had good guides for the excursions organised by Pachira Lodge.

Pachira Lodge is remarkable. The 1 hr boat ride into Tortugero alone was amazing. The property is located in front of the main lagoon, about 5 minutes by boat from the National Tortuguero Park and 3 minutes from the quaint little Village of Tortuguero. The bungalow rooms are perfectly nestled in the middle of the jungle on raised platforms connected by raised walkways. We loved that our room didn’t have a TV. We loved our windows only had screens so we could hear the rain at night, and the monkeys and birds in the morning. Howler monkeys walked across our roof, and often played overhead. Our room had two full-sized beds and the room was modern, sleek and very clean. The bathroom was lovely. The room set up and property itself exceeded our expectations. Everything on the property is extremely well-maintained and you can see the effort put into the daily management of the lodge. We were welcomed by remarkable staff who explained everything about the property, food and amenities, and were just so accommodating and friendly. WiFi coverage was very good, which we didn't expect. The property has a seperate 1km jungle path which was absolutely beautiful and packed with wildlife. We spent one summer-like afternoon at the turtle shaped pool. We were in Arenal Hot Springs right before so thought the only thing missing at the pool area was a warm-water jacuzzi. The pool bar has awesome drinks and it feels magical to be there. We will definitely be returning to Pachira!

Le Pachira Lodge offre une vraie immersion en forêt tropicale. Les chambres n'ont pas de fenêtres, seulement des moustiquaires : on entend les sons de la nature la nuit, ce qui peut surprendre, mais crée une ambiance unique. Pas de climatisation, mais les ventilateurs sont efficaces. Pas de wifi dans les chambres — il faut accepter de décrocher. Le personnel est très sympathique. L’accès se fait en bateau, ce qui rend le séjour spécial, mais représente un coût à prévoir. Même si les restos sont au village, j’ai préféré rester au lodge : c’est plus calme et bien plus immersif. La nourriture en buffet est bonne, mais peu variée. Malgré tout, un excellent endroit pour qui cherche la tranquillité en pleine nature.

Lindo lugar, seguro, muy buena atención, en el tema de las habitaciones juntas podrían filtrar un poco más el ruido ya que en el cielo raso no está del todo sellado, en el tema de la alimentación podrían tener opciones a la carta ya que no siempre es del agrado lo que se ofrece, solo hay 1 o 2 opciones de proteína a escoger

Se rendre à l’hotel est une expérience très agréable en soit, on y va par bateau via la rivière qui elle rejoint la lagune. Toutefois, le village de Tortuguero est sur la rive opposée à l’hotel, aucune possibilité d’aller à la mer ou de visiter le village sans devoir prendre un bateau taxi. De plus, cela oblige à manger sur place (type buffet) car aucun restaurant ce ce côté non plus.

Midt i naturen og det findes ikke bedre

Et virkeligt dejligt sted. Midt i naturen og med dyr og regnskov og alt hvad det tilbyder. Vi havde store forventninger og de blev alle overgået. Det regner meget, dyrerne larmer om natten , maden er på det jævne, man går i seng og står op med dyrerne. Summen er blot fantastisk. Jeg vil virkelig anbefale dette sted.

Genial!

Genial, el recepcionista (Bismark) nos ayudo en todo, un lujo disponer de alguien que te ayude con los traslados a Pueblo Tortuguero y la Pavona. Desde la piscina vimos 2 perezosos, una familia de monos, tucanes,... Y hay un paseo en la zona de los alrededores donde se pueden ver cngrejos azules, kiwis, monos... Tanto a mi fmilia como a mi nos encantó. Si tuvieramos que repetir visitar Tortuguero, seguro lo haríamos en Pachira Lodge. El hecho no esté en la zona del pieblo, no es un impedimento sino al reves, menos gente y por tanto ms naturaleza. Un acierto!
