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 receptionist Ingrid was super helpful, friendly and an asset to the hotel. I took the kayak and turtle nesting tours from the hotel and both guides were knowledgeable, professional and I enjoyed them a lot. There were plenty of birds around the hotel and you can walk to everything. For its value, the room had a nice bathroom, without a Costa Rican 'suicide' shower! Although no AC, the fan is powerful enough. Overall a highly recommended simple little beachfront place for your stay in Tortuguero.

    The hotel is situated in San Francisco village, 10min away from the busy Tortuguero village. The location is very quiet and you will really be in touch with nature and locals. The bed is comfortable and there is a hot shower. The breakfast was very good and with a view of the river. We organized all tours directly with the hotel and we did not regret it. Pedro was great and knowledgeable guide. It is possible to book a dinner in the hotel or explore San Francisco's local sodas.

    the location was perfect: to the left, a short walk to the beach, to the right one block, the center of town… and kids enjoying soccer in front each night. There are lower priced hostel-type accommodations and higher priced private rooms and everyone enjoys the pool and covered dining/relaxing area. The Roots tours were perfect, filling our heads with unlimited knowledge. Relaxing and enjoyable place to stay during your Tortuguero visit.

    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.

    This a beautifully appointed, cozy cottage, well landscaped and located on the border of the national forest and away from the hustle and bustle of the center of Tortuguero. Rodrigo and Ariana are wonderful hosts, very responsive. They hooked us up with a great guide, Alfonso, for an early morning canoe trip into the national park, as well as a hike up the hill in nearby San Francisco the next afternoon.

    The owner, Willis, and his family are very nice and helpful. we booked a canoeing tour and the Tortuguero national park. even in strong rain the experience was great. The place is great! simple, but perfect! you can walk to the beach, crossing the runway of the tiny airport. crazy! but awesome! yes, wifi is not the best - but who needs Wi-Fi in a place like this? highly recommended!

    On the beach front in the centre of Tortuguero. The hotel had a nice reception area, with sofas and facilities to make hot drinks throughout the day. We weren't offered a buffet breakfast (as mentioned in other reviews) but the options offered were good. Nice pool area surrounded by a tropical garden. We saw crocodiles and herring on the boat ride to Tortuguero.

    Hotel Icaco was right on the beach (but no swimming due to the strong current). It was very cute, has great hammocks and a restaurant. The staff were very friendly and helped us line up a night tour for the same night that we arrived, and a canoe tour for the next morning. Highlights of our entire trip to Costa Rica! A must-visit!

    Very well located: next to the beach, close to the 'village' and national park. Ideally to start discovering Tortugero national park. I would say that the hotel, compared to other buildings in Tortugero, is relatively well maintained. It's probably one of the better options in Tortugero. The pool was nice to refresh!
