The property is amazing and very well looked after.

Location, very relaxing. Guides were excellent, so knowledgeable.

off the beaten track (1.6km from town) but a great hotel, nice facilities and the garden tour was incredible. the rooms are nice and spacious and the hammock is really comfortable. breakfast was great (they even made us package to take away) and dinner was good too. overall a great experience!

It's a 45-minute boat ride to the lodge. The rooms are very basic, but the property makes up for them. The pool is nice. The food was yummy. We took the sunrise kayaking tour and saw monkeys and other wildlife.

The breakfast that was included was excellent. Service at the bar during the day and evening was also great. The public restrooms by the pool were kept very clean.

it’s a stunning property! Our suite was absolutely amazing, washroom was very spacious with a space to dry our clothes, birds were singing right outside our windows, we could hear the sea from our place and see the river, walking distance to Tortuguero was a big plus. Katonga floating restaurant is a must! Unique experience and great food. Great communications, all the questions were answered immediately. Thank you.

i love the integration with nature and being between the beach and canal the king suite was very comfortable with a huge bathroom!

Quite rustic but clean. Great service, convenient to airport, good food and a nice pool area.

The property is absolutely beautiful and the pool area and bar super fun! The floating restaurant Katonga was a highlight of our stay. The rooms were simple, but very clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. The owner was an absolute gem and we can’t wait to return!

Amazing location between the river and beach, lots of animals to spot in and around lodge, great pool area, tasty food in the restaurant with decent prices, great terrace facing the river for sunset views
