This hotel is a hidden gem! Paradise in the middle of nowhere. Definitely one of the best hotel experiences we ever have had. We hope to return one day!

We loved pretty much everything about this place. Our lanai was amazing and such a nice place to hang out in the chairs or on the hammocks. Hammocks elsewhere was appreciated as well. The river views were great and all of the wildlife on the grounds. The restaurant served good food and service was almost always wonderful. The ambience of the restaurant and bar was great as well. Very thoughtful to have spf and bug spray at certain locations for us to use. Loved having coffee and tea available to us all day in the restaurant to serve ourselves. Also loved the daily happy hours in the bar. All of the excursions and the guides, Norton, Willis and Noel were fantastic. Also liked the fresh juices after some of the excursions!

Tortuga Lodge was a bit pricey but well worth it. Restaurant was very good and they keep the property very tidy for being in the jungle. Would stay again for sure. Lots of wildlife on the property.

Excellent hotel, professional staff, very polite, helpful, positive staff, organized till the end!!!!Super rooms, superb hotel!!!!We highly recommend everyone to stay there!!!!

Breakfast was good, staff was very nice and helpful in recommendations and service. The guides were great, Norton was excellent and so knowledgeable on the local animals and plants. We would stay here again.

Jungle is all around you! Loved it! Staff were so kind and helpful Great tours organaized on the spot, but also just wandering in the lodge or in the paths behind it is splendid. Baby loved the lizards on the property

We loved going to sleep to the sounds of the jungle.

The rooms were very clean, the entire staff were very friendly and accommodating, the view was beautiful, the food was great, and the drinks excellent. The grounds and garden were just beautiful and it was very easy to take a hike in the jungle right behind the rooms. The staff provided everything we needed for a pleasant stay, including rain boots for the hike, insect repellent, sunblock, walking sticks and maps. The pool was wonderful with amazing views. We also went on a kayaking tour and our tour guide was able to spot so much wildlife for us. It was quite adventurous! I am definitely coming back!

Property was beautiful and filled with wildlife . We saw toucans, monkeys, a cayman and a wide variety of birds on our first day. Food in the restaurant was excellent and service good. Room was comfortable . The staff was very helpful and friendly.

The property is well placed to experience everything Tourteguro has to offer. There are so many things to see without even leaving the property. The staff was helpful, professional and treated us like family. We experienced nightlife, incredible food, a turtle tour, the best fishing trip ever (thanks Leonard!), and saw countless animals, insects and flowers. We have absolutely no complaints and would give this property at 12 out of 10 if it were possible.
