The lodge is located between the river and the ocean, so you get the best of both worlds. The hosts were so accommodating and made all of the reservations for our tours as well as picking us up in La Pavona and shuttling us in the boat back and forth to town. The morning canoe tour with Manuel was our favorite tour so far.

Tortuguero is as out-of-the-way as it comes. That said, the hour-long trip by boat through the tropical rain forest is a total treat. The boatman even stopped for photos of the crocodiles. It's a cute little town, the people are welcoming and gracious, and it is a place where you can't help relaxing.
The area is just beautiful. The nature is unique. Some take aways: 1 ) use private tours to see turtles, 2) take the “periferica local transportation to commute from tortuguero town to San Francisco ($3), 3) eat at El Patio downtown, 4) take tour to the canals 5) bring good mosquito repellent, 5) bring light rain ciat and rubber boats, 6) bring dark clothing to see the turtles ( non black or dark colirs are allowed)
I really liked the town, which was tiny. We did eat there a couple of times and both times the food was great. I could happily have spent more time exploring the nature, and just chilling at our hotel.
We were not originally going to stop in Tortuguero during our short stay in CR, but are so glad we did! It's not easy to get there, but the journey was most definitely part of the fun! We took a private boat from La Pavona (which cost the same as the public boat but offered to take us all the way to our hotel instead of the main Tortuguero dock). On our first night, we booked a turtle nesting tour from 8-10 pm and watched a momma turtle lay her eggs on the beach. It was incredible. We chose to eat at our hotel across the water instead of in town. It was easier that way. Besides the turtle nesting tour, we also took a hike in the national park with our children. There are other tours we could have taken, but we were satisfied with just watching the wildlife (monkeys) play at our hotel pool. On our boat trip back to La Pavona was memorable -- in that we saw many crocodiles along the river.
We arrived by accident on the day of TortuFest, when there was a carnival in the streets, lots of performers and lots of fun: 1.11., highly recommended. It's good to take a morning canoe tour — even if it's raining the whole time you get to see a lot and it's a nice experience — walk through the jaguar trail, and we've seen a bunch of animals on the night walk as well (including a pooping sloth). El Patio is a great restaurant for carribean food, but the little soda right at the docks was also quite nice.
I absolutely loved Tortuguero and wish my spanish was better, however, it was easy to do everything with English--I was amazed at how well everyone spoke it! My favorite tour was the early morning canoe tour I booked with Green Tours. It was so peaceful and my guide, Brandon, was excellent! There are some really good restaurants/bars that are reasonably priced. Overall, it was a good time and I'm really happy with how everything turned out. I recommend booking a place to stay ahead of time, as well as the boat ride and return. Book tours once you get to the village. All the local companies are about the same price and a great value! I would 100% love to come back with friends or a partner someday. PURA VIDA!
