Surround yourself in nature when you stay at Mawamba Lodge Tortuguero. Located inside the Tortuguero Canals and National Park on the northern Caribbean coast, this lodge allows guests to immerse themselves in the splendor of Costa Rica with comfortable rooms, delicious cuisine, and enriching activities.
Overview
Tortuguero Canals in front of Mawamba Lodge
Tortuguero, on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, is known as a nesting ground for at least seven species of sea turtles. The turtles know paradise when they see it, and so do guests at the ecofriendly Mawamba Lodge Tortuguero. This secluded beachfront hotel, located on a narrow strip of land between the Caribbean Sea and the Tortuguero Canals, is so off the beaten path that you can only reach it by boat or plane, but it is well worth the effort to get there.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be enchanted by magic of the tropical rainforest as you put the stress of your routine behind you. Your non-smoking room is homey and comfortable, inviting you to relax on your private porch or balcony and enjoy the view. The hotel staff is available to help you with anything you need during your stay, and you can connect to friends and family at home with the complimentary Wi-Fi in the lobby. If you’ve forgotten any essentials or need a souvenir to take home, you can stop by the gift shop.
No need for you to worry about where to eat while at the Mawamba Lodge. The main restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffet style and offers both local and international cuisine. For a more unique dining experience, you can have lunch or dinner on the lodge’s floating restaurant, Katonga. There is also a coffee room in the main building when you want a snack or a delicious cup of Costa Rican coffee. If you are in the mood for a tropical cocktail, beer, or wine, you can quench your thirst at the bar and lounge.
The beach at the lodge is perfect for strolling or lazing in a hammock, but when you want to swim, you can take advantage of the outdoor pool. The property also has a volleyball court for a quick game and plenty of hiking trails to explore. When you want to see more of the area, you can arrange a tour or excursion to the local village or one of the national parks to experience more of the natural beauty of the area. And of course, depending on the time of year, you can learn more about the sea turtles during nesting and hatching season. No matter how you spend your time, you are sure to have a memorable vacation at Mawamba Lodge.

"Tortuguero was definitely the highlight of our trip! We were there this past August, saw the turtles and enjoyed the abundance of wildlife. We selected Tortuguero because of the turtle experience but then realized there was so much to do in the area, that we would go back in a heartbeat! The staff at the Lodge was friendly, the food great and the rooms, rustic, but comfortable. Although we were instructed not to swim in the ocean in front of the lodge, because of the tides, we took some nice walks along the seashore."
