Pachira Lodge, hotel in Tortuguero

The pretty Pachira Lodge is located 5 minutes’ boat trip from the entrance to the lush Tortuguero National Park.

Set in the rainforest of Tortuguero it is in a beautiful and secluded location accessible by ferry boat from the mainland. We got the public ferry from La Pavona and left our car there. The pool area is lovely and there is a short trail where several guided tours visit to walk round each day. The rooms are nice, clean and bug free. Basic provisions, no coffee/tea facilities or fridge which we found useful in other places as we travelled. Reception were really friendly and helpful. Surrounded by animals, Spider monkeys were jumping on our roof, there are lots of birds, iguanas, armadillos and more all in the grounds. Tortuguero isn’t known for its places to eat out and we found eating at the hotel very reasonably priced and convenient.

    The town is ok - plenty of eateries. The accommodation at Cabinas Sports Fishing was wonderful! The early morning boat trip was very enjoyable, as was the Jaguar trail in the National Park. The Budda Cafe has a nice vibe and good food. We were there in April so missed the turtle nesting season but still very much worth a visit!

    What a gem.

    What a gem. We had three nights here but in hindsight could have done two (a lot of people just do one). Two nights gives you a chance to soak up the atmosphere and explore the village from end to end. It was an experience getting there - a 1hr boat trip (which can be longer depending on the water levels). On arrival we were surprised at the number of bars and restaurants - a huge variety. Many on the waterfront and how wonderful to have no cars. Our hotel met us at the wharf and transferred our luggage. The hotels are right amongst the locals houses - so you really get to know the village and can hear all the 'goings on'. Just walking around you see the houses, some of the challenges living there, the flora and fauna. We did a motor boat tour at 9am - would recommend doing this at 6am as the forest wakes up. Its amazing on the water - seeking the birds close up, camen, monkeys and iguanas. You will see more animals on a tour of the forest but its still worth the experience. The motor boat tour includes national park entry - but I would recommend using a guide in the park as despite what you think its really hard to spot animals without the 'experienced eye'; and of course its their livelihood. I also did a night tour - there were a lot of other night tours - we walked along the route to the airport so it didn't feel super secluded - but we did see an armadillo, spiders, a snake, sloth and an iguana. Just goes to show nature is all around us - but again I would never have seen it without the experienced guide. Overall its quite an experience and would suggest Tortuguera is a 'must have' on a Costa Rica itinerary.

    Loved the fact that the boat dropped us off at the hotel's dock and picked us up here as well. Checkin was a breeze but make sure you have the cash to pay for the room and any tours. Canoe/boat tours, day hikes, night walks were arranged by the hotel in advance for very nominal rates. The tours start right at the hotel and hence very convenient. The hotel sits on the banks of the river and the views are lovely especially during dusk and dawn. We experienced torrential rain one afternoon and during the night. The rain in the afternoon did not last long. The canals are accessible by boat, canoe and kayaks. Tortuguero is laid back and a nice place to wind down and experience time float by. Great place to see Great Green Macaws fly by during dawn and dusk. We also saw the last of the turtle hatchings make their way to the sea. Wonderful sight to experience. The town and beach are easily accessible. The canals are teeming in wildlife. We saw green basilisks, iguanas, jacanas, toucans, caimans, herons and monkeys (howler, spider and capuchin). On the night walk we saw frogs (Savage's bullfrog, red-eyed tree frog, some snakes, and a sloth at close range. The hotel staff were nice. The free breakfast was an added bonus. Laundry service was available for a fee. The town was easily accessible by foot. Local food at the sodas was fulfilling. Overall a wonderful experience!

    It was like going to the Amazon River and experiencing wildlife and diversity. It was a multi cultural place with a taste of how locals villagers live , ocean access, river access and the best part is watching conservation of turtles. Turtle night tour is a must do!!?

    Town was better than pictured.

    Town was better than pictured. Walking to everything is easy. Favorite restaurants were Miss Miriams next to the football field and Budda Cafe overlooking the river. Went on three turtle tours and the canoe tour. All great. Used Tuanis Tours for 2 turtle and canoe and Leonardo for private turtle tour. Grocery store carries beer and liquor at reasonable prices.

    The Tortuguero area is considerably different from the rest...

    The Tortuguero area is considerably different from the rest of Costa Rica. Isolated from land transport, all access is done either by boat or plane. Opt for the boat if you can. It's cheap (around 8000 colones round trip from La Pavona), and despite being on a public transport you'll have a tour experience. The trip can take up to 1,5 hours, with safety conditions guarateed (life vests) and you'll be winding through the florest canals until you reach the Tortuguero sandbar. much like running down the Amazonas, The village is very small but with a great ambient of friendly people (general fact in all CR) with plenty of options for food/drinks, accomodations. Tortuguero life runs around sightseeing (National Park, turtle tours, and cannoeing in the canals). At night you'll have plenty of options for sunset and dinning. You're in a protected area for marine turtles and the mindset is all around that. Forget about bathing in the river or the beach, as one it's inhabited by crocodiles and the other with bull sharks,

    The place is a little off of the city center, so it's quiet and chill. Anyways, there's a supermarket just around the corner and everything in Tortuguero is walkable in 10 minutes anyways. The national park entrance is just around the corner as well. The owners, Oscar and Karin are so welcoming. They even prepared a coconut for me to drink at my arrival. The room was very clean and spacious, with a good working brand new aircon and a lot of space to put your clothes. The common arena in the backyard is very cozy.

    The location could not be better! This hotel has its own boat ramp so when we arrived and departed we could do it right from the hotel. It is also right in town, so it was easy and fun to walk to restaurants. The staff members were friendly and helpful (and patient with our limited Spanish). We had a problem with our shower and they worked quickly to find a solution. They were exceedingly helpful with arranging and advising us about activities and transportation.

    Very clean and comfortable stay. Coffee and tea included in price and available all the time. Excellent location, short walk from ship and close to sea. Two fans in the room, ceiling and floor. Had a good night sleep and bed was best I have sleeped in Costa Rica so far. Our kids enjoyed hammocks in the garden area. We stayed only 2 nights and room was cleaned during our stay. Really helpful staff. Recommend! Would love to stay there again if in Tortuguero.

    The staff were kind, polite and helpful. The excursions they set us up on exceeded our expectations. The meals were very good. The location was close to the main street/village, beach and national park. We were able to see spider monkeys near at traveling through our location and could see the holler monkeys in the distant trees. There were a lot of animals to be seen in the area we were in or a short walk from it.

    Kitchens in the rooms were well set up for cooking. They even provided tea, coffee, sugar, s&P and oil. Good location to walk to the North (non National Park side) and this is where we did a night walk and saw a lot of wildlife. They had someone meet us in LaPavona and take us all the way to the hotel and help us with booking tours, so that was a nice touch.

    Located along side Tortuguero National Park, it is a good escape from the stress of urban life. Husband and wife Anita and Gerardo and son Victor made sure my stay was safe and comfortable not to mention providing excellent meals. Help organize tours and transfers for me like a pro.

    Colourful and small with only 8 rooms so it was not noisy. Very clean and close to the town and the national park. AC was great. Information provided beforehand by hotel was very helpful in getting to Tortuguero from La Pavona, where you need to park your vehicle and get a boat. Minimise the luggage you need to carry.

    We arrived on a boat a little later than expected, as the bus connections from San Jose to Tortuguero were subpar. Someone from the hotel staff was waiting for us at the dock and led us to our room, which was situated beautifully by the Caribbean beach side. Everything was clean, modern, and perfect for a couple.
