The Hotel That Stole My Heart In Costa Rica - Turtle Beach Lodge

In this occasion I’m going to talk about my favorite hotel in the Tortuguero region of Costa Rica. The name of the place that stole my heart is The Turtle Beach Lodge. And it is a cute Caribbean style hotel. I was completely impressed when I first walked in to the hotel. The reason? The pictures I had seen from it in the internet weren’t false and fixed up, everything looked the same. The place was beautifully landscaped with a tropical garden and plenty of open spaces.

It is a cute Caribbean style hotel. I was completely impressed when I first walked in to the hotel. The reason?The pictures I had seen from it in the internet weren’t false, everything looked the same and even better. The place was beautifully landscaped with a tropical garden and plenty of open spaces. But let me tell you what this beautiful hotel is all about:

It consists on a series of free standing rancho-style casitas made out of wood that are sold in packages with tours and meals. I have to admit that this wasn’t exactly something I was thrilled about but I was so wrong. But in the end me and my family had a great time doing the tours that our package offered.

We even decided to go in some extra ones. But the most outstanding this about this hotel is that it is in the best location a hotel could be in. To understand what I’m talking about picture yourself being in a hotel that is between the beach and the rain forest and really close to endangered sea turtles nesting sites. I still can’t believe it. This place is simply perfect for vacations, it doesn’t matter if you are coming with friends, with family. Even honeymooners are 100% welcome here because as I found out being there they have a special honeymoon room. I can only imagine what a honeymoon here would be like!

To sum it all there is to say about this place is that I absolutely love it, the rooms, the gardens the food and the staff are great. Specially the food, it was delicious and the portions were big. So don’t you dare to skip this place on your Costa Rican Vacation, I’m sure you will love it.
