What Guests Say About Their Stay

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.

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.

First, we had stayed at this hotel in, I believe, 2021and had a very good experience. We booked this visit based on that experience.
Your site sent us information stating that basically there was an active COVID infestation and strict sanitary precautions were to be observed, which included intermittent temperature checks. This appeared to come from the hotel but as I found out came from Hotels .com. It took me two days to contact someone from the hotel because no one answered phonecalls or text messages. Finally I was able to contact the hotel via email after speaking with someone on your site. Turns out the information

No water pressure at all. Hot water practically not available because of the water pressure.
Rooms require upgrade. Metal fixtures rusty. Towels and furnitures are very worned.

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.

We had to change our reservations a few day before we arrived but couldn’t because of the hotels no change policy. We called but no answers. We messaged and they finally answered two days later. We asked for an exception. They said we had to do it through hotels.com. Hotels said we would have to ask the hotel but they couldn’t get a hold of them. Each said we had to contact the other until we missed our check in. All we wanted to do was get in later. In any event, make sure you don’t have to change your plans at all.

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.
