Great hotel with idyllic grounds
We loved Mawamba lodge, friendly staff, great location, lots of wildlife around and the hotel also organised our trips which were brilliant, boat ride and night walk, saw lots of birds, frogs, crocodile, agouti. The location and grounds are just idyllic
Trevor, 2-night trip

Amazing location, you do have to walk 10-15 minutes into town along a narrow footpath, we were fine but other guests may not want to, especially late at night, the track is dark.

My husband and I loved our time here. From the bus pick up in San Jose, the boat ride to the lodge and everything the lodge has to offer, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The lodge has so many activities to offer, we always had something to do. The food and drinks were delicious! The rooms were clean, however, the walls are very thin, so bring earplugs incase you have noisy neighbors.
Kariel, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a little gem of a place. The rooms are basic but comfortable, the foods limited but for where you are, this is not surprising. The wildlife & staff really made it. The staff where really accommodating. In a two night stay in the property's gardens we saw, lots of iguana's, tocan's, green macaw's & a howler monkey. On the beach, we saw baby leatherback turtles & on a paid trek, green turtles nesting.

Great resort property with separate and private bungalows. Helpful and friendly staff. Nice restaurant.
Eric, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Mawamba lodge was a beautiful property! It looks prettier in person - photos don’t do it justice! The pool was great and much needed to just cool down a little bit! The staff was very attentive and the food was honestly pretty great. The only thing is, the weather is VERY humid and there is no air conditioning anywhere so be prepared. The bugs are pretty bad, bug spray is much needed! Regardless, this was a great place to visit and I have nothing bad to say about the property!

We heard lots of birds during the day and got a lot of good pictures

Great lodge at Tortuguero. Silent & clean and only a short walk from the village.

8/10 Very good

Beautiful beautiful location and lodge! Just very hot in the room during the day with ceiling fan not doing much… made the cold shower more welcome (no hot water).
Jessica, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Needing Improvement: -No hooks of any kind to hang bath towels, pool towels, wet swimsuits, etc. -Safe was unusable with broken lock and unbolted -Reception desk staff and restaurant staff unfriendly; more Pura Vida -no AC -broken lamp but fixed after two days -not the best food; first day vegan options were limited (soup only) but later improved What we liked: -Beautiful large grounds next to the beach and walking distance along the beach to town -room looking at the river -Swimming pool -great shower -refillable water - nice kayaking tour with guide

A luxurious, well-placed resort with very friendly and attentive staff. The ladies on reception were fab, as were the restaurant staff and the tour guides. The wildlife in the grounds is exceptional, and the design and decor of Mawamba is flawless. Loved it.

Mawamba Adventure
Our stay was enjoyable. We loved the grounds, landscape, flowers, carvings, shrubbery and trees. The cabins would have been improved by having at least 2 chairs - inside and on the porch. We would have liked to have a posted schedule of tours, activities and times/info about these events.
David, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely amazing place in the middle of the forest! Yes, because of eco friendly and the place where the hotel is, there is no AC but a fan did OK for us in June. Also there is not an actual window but a screen But the hotel is very safe, had no issues and there are a lot of wild animals inside the hotel. they offered a free animal tour guide. Food and drinks in the restaurant were amazing and at good price. Amenities are very good. Beach was amazing and is walkable distance from town
Carlos, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The good: lots of tropical animals around, nice pool, tours from the property, helpful staff, fairly secluded, nice view of the canal, good food and drink. The drawbacks: thin walls to the rooms, screen windows up high that don't cover, lots of jungle noise, no hot water at the sink, no WiFi in the rooms
Daniel, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved our time at Mowamba Lodge. We had 3 nights here so plenty of time to relax in the warm pool and walk around the beautiful gardens. There are hammocks everywhere! The staff were very friendly and polite and the guides were very knowledgeable. We saw as much wildlife on the free afternoon tours around the hotel as we did in the National Park. The canoe trip was worth it though, to get into the smaller tributaries and more into the jungle. The village is worth walking into (15 mins along a sandy path). There are some great bars and restaurants here with cheaper prices than in the lodges. A water taxi was $4 per person back to the lodge.

A great start to our rainforest adventures
What an amazing location. The boat from La Pavona was great thanks to transportation Smith where we were able to choose better arrival and departure times than the lodges own which they told us a week before we arrived that we could not use. However this definitely did not distract from the great staff, friendly welcome, good food and excellent location. We walked into the village which is a must and had a good lunch at a soda. Our morning and afternoon trips into the rain forest were fantastic and the guide was outstanding. The evening walk was our least favourite but still worth doing. Would definitely recommend as a great place to go.
Marc, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

What a place to stay. Free boat transfer to and from the little airfield. Really nice food and drinks. Rooms don’t have AC but are wide open and well ventilated. However those are small points compared to the entire area of the hotel and the surroundings. You walk one way to the beach, it’s full of little seating areas, pontoons and places to just enjoy the nature and surroundings. We spent evenings on a pontoon watching the sun set, afternoons in the hammock on the balcony your room has, and the hot days by the pool. Iguanas randomly wander around the place, and visited the pool on our last day. Howler monkeys occasionally swing by, and there are endless birds, one we didn’t notice was 2 meters away from us whilst we were enjoying the pontoon. We went in turtle laying season, and saw a wild turtle laying its eggs. There are boat tours, night hikes, canoe expeditions, hikes and other activities, all with endless wildlife around. Truly a wonderful place and experience.
Andrew, 3-night trip

This place is an oasis in the rain forest! Beautiful grounds and the staff and owner were the best! Water taxis and walking is how you get around. Ton's of wildlife and a great experience! I would call it "rustic elegance". Just one item that may bother others is there is no climate control in the rooms. That did not bother us since they all have ceiling fans, but it may be a consideration of some.
Derek and Kim, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall we enjoyed our stay here. Pros: the room was very clean, the amenities (especially the pool) are really great, the staff are helpful, and the landscaping is beautiful. Cons: the rooms don't have AC so it gets very hot during the day. the walls are very thin so you can hear your neighbors if they are packing loudly. The hotel is accessible by quick water taxi from tortuguero or by a 1.5 km walk on a dirt road. From la pavona, take a water taxi to tortuguero. Don't take the hotel's private transport service from la pavona which costs $30 per person. I feel like the water taxi service from tortuguero to the hotel should be provided by the hotel for free--they have the resources to do it, but they don't because they would rather nickel and dime you for everything.
