Turtle Beach Lodge – the ultimate in seclusion, tropical beauty,
and adventure in lowland jungle rainforest.
The area of Tortuguero
is rightfully called “The Amazon of Costa Rica” because access
is only by boat on Jungle Rivers. Turtle Beach Lodge, 5 miles north of
the town of Tortuguero, is a secluded resort spanning 175 acres with miles
of jungle trails, a meandering private canal, and a half mile of beach
adjoining still more isolated beaches.
The lodge
accommodates approximately 80 guests; assisted by a well trained staff
and guides who ease you into an exciting jungle experience. Stay in the
beautifully landscaped cabinas, swim in our turtle shaped pool, relax
in the adjacent shady hammock hut with food and drink from the restaurant
and bar.

LANDSCAPED
GROUNDS Small round tables & chairs dot the landscape
near the boat dock, paths, and beach inviting you to pause and enjoy
the wonder of it all. 175 acres of beautifully landscaped tropical
grounds and jungle are a lot to discover. Our grounds abound with
colorful flowers, herbs, vegetables, and trees that are native to
Costa Rica with exotic fruits such as lemons, papaya, mango, bananas,
avocado, and of course coconuts. Ask our gardener, to open a coconut
with his machete and let you sample the delicious sweet fruit. Better
yet, take our Garden Tour for a blend of plant identification, local
customs and myth. |
| OUR ROOMS
Our rooms feature comfortable beds, fans, cool tiled floors, warm
showers, and two wide windows that let in gentle breezes and melodic
sounds from the jungle as you fall asleep and awaken. Rooms are available
with one double bed, two twins, or one double and one twin. |
 |
 |
DINING
Enjoy exotic drinks and dining that combine local cuisine with fresh
fruits and vegetables providing 3 delicious, healthy meals served
daily. Dine with a group of fellow travelers to share in lively discussion
and adventurous tales in our spacious open-air restaurant, or dine
in solitude with only the sound of the ocean’s roar |
THE POOL
COMPLEX The uniquely designed pool complex at Turtle Beach
Lodge features a shady thatched hammock hut overlooking a large turtle-shaped
pool, both conveniently situated near the restaurant and bar. The
waters of our pool are kept sparkling with an environmentally friendly
salt filter, which is equally healthy for skin and hair.

THE BEACH
Greet the morning with a cup of coffee and a stroll on the beach at
sunrise. Relax with ocean breezes in comfortable hammocks on a beach
shaded by palms, or write postcards at a table with your toes in the
sand. The beach on the property is a half mile long with miles of
deserted beach in either direction. It’s like being at the end
of the world. |
| JUNGLE
TRAIL Let our guide take you on an informative walk, day
or night, on miles of our jungle trails, or go alone and enjoy the
stillness. Start just steps from your room and meander all the way
to The Canal of Palms. In the jungle, as well as throughout the rest
of the property you will enjoy the chatter of colorful birds, three
kinds of monkeys, and a wide variety of other kinds of wildlife. |
 |
 |
OUR PRIVATE
CANAL As our boat turns off of The Canal of Palms and winds
down our narrow private canal you will feel the jungle closing around
you. Our Turtle Beach Lodge canal has been described as “a million
dollar entrance.” The black-water reflects the mirror image
of exotic thick jungle on either side. Caimans and colorful lizards
scurry for safety into the water and birds cry out a greeting. |
 |
Turtle Beach Lodge has
the rare distinction of having both beach and lowland jungle in a
single location. On this eastern side of Costa Rica the color at sunrise
can be spectacular. Bring your cup of coffee to the beach in the morning,
or better yet have a long walk on the beach and take in the view.
|
The gardeners at the
lodge work hard to clean our wide dark-sand beach of drift wood and
ocean debris daily. It can be quite a task considering that at certain
times of the year a sea of purple water hyacinths float down the Tortuguero
rivers, out to the Caribbean sea, and then wash up on the beaches.
There are also many huge fallen hardwood trees from the area that
do the same thing all year long. |
 |
 |
A beach free of driftwood
and ocean debris is not only more attractive, but is easier for sea
turtles to come ashore on, dig their nests, and lay eggs. Baby turtles
can also reach the sea faster on a clean beach and therefore escape
land predators.
It is important to protect the turtles from seeing light at night.
Light confuses the turtles, and can cause them to turn back to the
sea without laying eggs. Although the lodge has dense foliage as a
barrier between beach and gardens, gaps in the plantings provide views
of the ocean from the pool complex, the rooms, and other areas of
the grounds. When it isn’t turtle season a fire on the beach
under a huge sky of stars is a perfect ending to the day. |
| The rows of crashing
surf along the Caribbean can be wild and is always invigorating. While
respecting the power of the ocean, playing in the surf is a favorite
among guests. |
 |
 |
The crash of the waves,
the cry of the birds …. these are the natural sounds of the
ocean. You can go the whole day without seeing anyone except guests
on the beach at Turtle Beach Lodge, but birds and sand crabs will
always keep you company. |
| The pace at the lodge
is as peaceful as you want to make it. After a day of touring Tortuguero,
climbing the mountain, or fishing under the tropical sun, a cool drink
is perfect in a palm shaded hammock rocked by ocean breezes. |
 |
 |
The sun sets back behind
the grounds of Turtle Beach Lodge where you can’t see it going
down. But as long as it isn’t raining the sky is filled with
the brilliant colors of sunset and the jungle takes on a golden glow. |
