Jessica, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful property. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and the available excursions were well organized and fun. I was a little disappointed there wasn’t any hot water but that is not an unusual thing for the area.
Sarah, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful property with basic but comfortable & clean accommodation. The beds were comfortable. All the staff we encountered were friendly. Lots of communal areas to chill in hammocks or chairs. Good varierty of food and drink options. Just a 15 minute walk to town.

Great place in Tortuguero !

Beautiful place in the nature and close to the sea. Hotel is great, very quiet, where you can find easily animals like sloth, bird, reptiles, et . Food can be better. But we enjoyed our stay and the tour early in the morning in the river.
Louis, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

A really lovely resort with access to both the Tortuguero canal and the Caribbean beach. Great pool, good food, attractive unique rooms. Friendly and attentive staff and excellent communication throughout the booking and stay. Would definitely return.
Linda, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very great food and kind staff. Hotel is about a 15 minute walk from the town which is very nice. Being at this hotel makes you feel like like you’re in a little resort.
Debbie, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

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.

Beautiful property and lots of activities to enjoy. Can't recommend this property highly enough we had the best time.
Karen, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Mawamba Lodge is very lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed the facility, walking along the beach, and strolling through the village of Tortuguero. Mawamba has a recycling station where you can pick up a bucket, walk along the beach and pick up garbage left behind by the tide. We like thinking we may have made a little difference for the turtles.
Shannon, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Absolutely stunningly beautiful. Wildlife abounds and will have you turning your head every 2 minutes to see a fantastic critter. Would stay again!!!
Jared, 1-night trip

Our tour guide for the night hike was great!
Kathy, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Staff, setting, and food were all awesome. It was a peaceful, natural hotel. Prepare for rain. It’s a part of the experience, and there were lots of breaks in the rain, even some sun around the pool in the afternoon. The night walk was unforgettable, the little town of Tortuguero so interesting, and the water transport to and from Pavona docks was so mesmerizing and unique. I loved the staff who work at Mawamba! Big shout out to the restaurant staff, chefs, and bar staff.

We heard lots of birds during the day and got a lot of good pictures
Michael, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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 Excellent

Wonderful wilderness lodge experience. Tours and transfers very well organized. Food was good and plentiful. Nice pool to cool off in after wildlife viewing trips.

8/10 Good

I didn't think the food at the restaurant was cooked very well. Twice I order chicken and it was overcooked. The people who worked there were pleasant enough but it felt like they didn't like their jobs. The only exception was our tour guide. Sadly, I can't remember his name but he was great. He was the guide who met us and went with us to the La Pavona Dock.
Carol, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Emma, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
