The hotel was nice and beautiful, the staff was lovely and always wanting to help. However I cannot give the maximum rates for the following reasons : when spending this amount for an hotel room I expect all details to be looked after, for a perfect and personnalized experience. This was not the case: the lights were not functionning properly when we got the room and we had to ask for the maintenance to fix them. They only fixed half of it and we decided not to complain for the second problem (the lights in the bathroom were not correctly functionning) : in a 5 star hotel you should not need to ask for theses details to be taken care of. We also had to call for the mosquito shades that would not close properly when entering the room. Boats belonging to the hotel were moored right under our windows : they would make noise everytime waves were created by passing boats = 50 times per day/night. They could also improve the hospitality with simple services such as : Tortuger is among the places in the world with the most rain falls. Once wet your cloth won't dry anymore. There is nothing to help you hang your clothes in the room or in the hotel. The only alternative is the paying laundry service. Finally when checking out no one came to carry our luggages from the room to the dock. We still had a great time but I would not spend such an amount for this quality in the future.

Thank you Stephan for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us. We're delighted to hear that you found our lodge beautiful and appreciated the helpfulness of our staff. However, we sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you experienced during your stay.Your comments about the lighting, mosquito shades, and boat noise are important to us, and we're sorry these issues detracted from your experience. We're already addressing these concerns to ensure they don't happen again and to improve the overall guest experience.Regarding your suggestion about drying clothes, we're exploring options to provide better amenities for our guests, especially given the humid climate in Tortuguero. Additionally, we're reviewing our procedures to ensure that guests receive assistance with their luggage upon departure.We genuinely appreciate your constructive feedback as it helps us refine our services.

Eine Oase der Ruhe abseits des Weltgeschehens

Sehr gepflegtes Hotel, gutes Restaurant, ähnlich wie die Lodge durchaus zur höheren Kategorie zählend. Zimmer sind geschmackvoll eingerichtet, allerdings haben die Queen Betten nur 1,90 Länge und es gibt nur wenige Zimmer mit 1 King Size Bett, in denen man dafür dann aber auch noch eine Sitzecke mit 2 Sesseln hat, in den Zimmern mit den 2 Queen Size Betten ist dafür kein Platz mehr. Schade auch, dass auf den Zimmern keine Infomappen liegen, welche Services das Hotel bietet (Abfahrtzeiten der Boote zum einige Kilometer entfernten Tortuga Village, wo man wegen der Flussüberquerung nicht selbst hinlaufen kann oder die vom Hotel inkludiert angebotenen Nature Walks etc.). Jedes Zimmer hat Verandastühle und eine eigene Hängematte. In den kleineren Bungalows mit jeweils 2 Zimmern in der 1. Etage (teurere Kategorie mit Wasserblick) gibt es allerdings nur eine Treppe nach oben, sprich die Nachbarn ohne eigene Treppe müssen immer an dem Eckzimmer mit der Treppe vorbeikommen. Da jedes Zimmer rundum mit offenen (aber mit Fliegenschutz versehenen) Fenstern versehen ist, fehlt einem bisweilen einiges an Intimsphäre, wenn man nicht extra alle Vorhäge zugezogen hat. Es gibt einen Decken- und einen Standventilator in jedem Zimmer, die völlig ausreichend waren bei den Temperaturen jetzt im Juni. Sehr aufmerksames und bemühtes Hotelpersonal, was sich auch sehr bei der Wiederbeschaffung eines Passes eingesetzt hat. Das letzte Boot der Lodge von Tortuga Village zur Lodge fährt übrigens um 5:15pm.
