Loved this property, the staff, and location. The staff was very helpful in booking excursions and special events. We enjoyed cooling off in the swimming pool and the beautiful property.

We had good time with good breakfast and awesome Pool

Great lodge with widlife all around. Great breakfast. An easy walk to town and the national park to really get a feel for the area and to have different options for dinner etc.

We loved our stay. I was worried about no air conditioning but the giant fan worked great. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We woke up to birdsong every day. I only have 2 complaints. The first was that we frequently didn’t have hot water for our showers. The second was that there was no way to tip with a credit card at checkout so I had to scramble for cash.

Excelente 10/10

Breakfast was delightful

It’s a little but of work to get to mawamba, but once you’re there it’s quite pleasant. The pool area is A+ and the breakfast is too. The walk into town is easy and the number of places to get dinner is plentiful. Beware the birds are noisy but that’s nature at its best!

Fabulous place to stay. Would love better internet (didn’t work in our room at all), a small gym would also be lovely. Would have loved to known we needed to pay for the water taxi to the hotel!! Nice staff, lovely breakfast, pool was just ok. Never ate dinner there, walked into town for lunch and dinner

Great place to stay!

Excellent hotel with everything you need for a great trip

Bed was amazing and the rooms beautifully decorated and clean. Perfect!

This is my second time in Tortuguero but my first at Mawamba. I’d seen the beautiful grounds before and wanted to experience it in person, This is a nature lovers paradise! The grounds are beautifully maintained with native plants, lots of walking trails which are inviting to so much wildlife including toucans, orenpendula, parrots, macaws, red eyed tree frogs and so much more. Tortuguero National Park is a short walk away and I went there often. But I love the tours that Mawamba offers, kayak tours, birding tours, canal tours and an enjoyable floating restaurant. Rather than hop around all over Costa Rica, I spent nearly a week, and I’m glad I did. The staff is very accommodating, the food is good and the guides area amazingly skilled in the history of the area, the natural heritage and spotting wildlife. I’m very impressed and I will definitely return.

Comfortable lodge, staff were friendly and helpful. Plenty of wildlife surrounding the property and a brief walk into Tortuguero town.

Good staff. Shuttle ride uncomfortable. Ceiling fan not working

This place is awesome. I would definitely recommend to stay here again and I would stay here if I ever come back here.

The room was clean, the bathroom spacious. The staff were friendly and helpful. There was a nice pool.

Best hotel of our Costa Rica trip yet. What a special place! The physical space is beautiful. The wildlife on the property and the gardens and general space were exceptional. Loved seeing toucans and monkeys right by our room. Loved walking to the ocean and river and town so easily. Wonderful boat tours of the national park with Steven. He blew us away with his knowledge of the flora and fauna of the area. Great responsiveness to emails and any questions or concerns. Also wonderful night tour with Humberto!

Excellent stay at Mawamba lodge. Gardens around the ground are great and we saw sloths and Toucans a short walk from our room. Breakfast was great as was the dinner we had at the restaurant. Pool can get quite busy with families and children. Town is only a short walk away or they can provide a river taxi. Also took part in the tours arranged by the hotel which was fantastic with a very knowledgeable tour guide. Would highly recommend it visiting Tortuguero

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.

The property is amazing, lots of biodiversity .they have many great tours in Tortuguero , highly recommended. A special mention to Diego, our guide,his work was incredible. Also to Chico, the tour driver, and Marlon, our other driver. They were all incredible. We'll be back!!!
