Tortuga Lodge

This one of the oldest lodges in Tortuguero, and still one of the best. My favorite feature here is the long multilevel deck off the main dining room, where you can sit and dine, sip a cool tropical drink, or just take in the view as the water laps against the docks at your feet. There's also a lovely little pool built by the water's edge that's designed to look like it blends into Tortuguero's main canal. All the rooms feature contemporary furniture, Caribbean-influenced decor, and loads of freshly varnished hardwood. If possible, I'd opt for the second-floor rooms, which feature varnished wood walls and floors and come with a small, covered veranda. There's also a new two-bedroom, two-bathroom second-floor penthouse suite for families or those wanting more space. There are several acres of forest behind the lodge, and a few kilometers of trails wind their way through the trees. This is a great place to look for howler monkeys and colorful poison-arrow frogs.
