We had an amazing time staying at this place. Our guide, Carlos, was the best guide ever! From the moment he met us at La Pavona and untill we said goodbye two days later, he was helpfull, attentive and did his best to share his wide knowledge about Tortuguero with us. Our stay included two tours, one to the village of Tortuguero and one through the canals, and we bought another one (5:30 am animal watching). The tours were well guided by Carlos and we were very excited to see so many animals. The facility itself is well maintened, with lots of flowers, two swiming pools and very friendley stuff. The huge Iguana in front of our porch was a bonus :)
The restaurant at the lodge is OK, though if I had the option I would rather eat at small local eateries instead of a large turistic cafeteria.
