Tortuguero Hotels

Insights from kimkim local specialists for our hand-selected hotels in Tortuguero, Costa Rica
At Tortuguero, often called Costa Rica's Amazon, you can immerse yourself in its rich biodiversity and canal-laced rainforests while its lodges offer comfortable options surrounded by nature. Stay somewhere unique, such as the kimkim-recommended Mawamba Lodge, which offers a secluded escape where you can unwind in hammocks and savor Creole flavors at a floating restaurant on a small plot of land between a lagoon and the sea. If you're looking for something smaller, try a property like Manatus Hotel, an intimate option where you can relish gourmet a la carte meals overlooking the lagoon and take a dip in the outdoor pool surrounded by lush gardens. As a gateway to a private 70-acre nature reserve, Tortuga Lodge & Gardens is another recommended choice, with its river-facing rooms and an open-air restaurant with a distinguished wine selection.
