The Tortuga Lodge, situated on 50 acres of private land on Costa Ricas northeast Caribbean coast, was the first hotel, now the newest hotel. The essence of Tortuguero is slow-moving tropical rivers. Everything about Tortuguero is defined by the rivers.
They are Tortugueros roads and Tortugueros soul. If a visitor wants to bring home the essence of Tortuguero, he/she must get in tune with the rivers. The first 10 rooms built at Tortuga Lodge were dark and enclosed. Now whatever was useful from those rooms has been recycled into the community, and all the rooms at Tortuga Lodge have almost as much window area as the walls.
All the 24 rooms have a nice view of the Tortuguero River, as they sit close to this beautiful water runway.
