Excellent stay at Mawamba lodge. Gardens around the ground are great and we saw sloths and Toucans a short walk from our room. Breakfast was great as was the dinner we had at the restaurant. Pool can get quite busy with families and children. Town is only a short walk away or they can provide a river taxi. Also took part in the tours arranged by the hotel which was fantastic with a very knowledgeable tour guide. Would highly recommend it visiting Tortuguero

Beautiful property. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and the available excursions were well organized and fun. I was a little disappointed there wasn’t any hot water but that is not an unusual thing for the area.

Great place in Tortuguero !

Beautiful place in the nature and close to the sea. Hotel is great, very quiet, where you can find easily animals like sloth, bird, reptiles, et . Food can be better. But we enjoyed our stay and the tour early in the morning in the river.

Die Anreise per Boot ist schon ein Erlebnis und die schnelle Fahrt auf dem kurvigen Fluss macht einen Heidenspass. Wenn man das Boot verlässt ist man gleich bezaubert von der wunderschönen und top gepflegten Anlage. Ein kleiner Pool lädt zum Schwimmen ein. Die Zimmer sind klein, aber funktional. Eine Hängematte vor der Tür und die, die in der Anlage verteilt sind, laden zum Träumen ein. Highlight unseres Aufenthaltes war die frühmorgenliche Fahrt durch den Nationalpark mit dem Kanu, da man mit den kleinen Booten noch tiefer in den Dschungel vordringen kann. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker, für die anderen Mahlzeiten sind wir lieber in den Ort gelaufen und abends mit Stirnlampen auf dem unbeleuchteten Weg zurück.

Amazing location, you do have to walk 10-15 minutes into town along a narrow footpath, we were fine but other guests may not want to, especially late at night, the track is dark.

Mawamba Lodge is very lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed the facility, walking along the beach, and strolling through the village of Tortuguero. Mawamba has a recycling station where you can pick up a bucket, walk along the beach and pick up garbage left behind by the tide. We like thinking we may have made a little difference for the turtles.
