Our stay at The Caribbean Paradise lodge was very pleasant, the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. The grounds are very clean , lots of wildlife you can hear and see. It is 10 minutes away from Tortuguero village by taxi boat, but the staff is always ready to help with that. There is no AC but the fan in the room was sufficient and we had comfortable nights and slept well enjoying the sounds of nature . The breakfast was included and is an open buffet, you can arrange to buy lunch and dinner which are made on the property . We would love to go again .

A Gem
This place was ideal. Wonderfully friendly people, Bismarck the manager was so helpful at getting us on tours with local guides, just the 2 of us so we could decided what we wanted to do. Food was a good buffet at breakfast & just 1 choice in the evening but nice. Town is a boat taxi ride away, 10 minutes $10 return for 2. Rooms were clean & quiet, grounds well kept with hammocks in shaded areas. Our daughter told us about it, as she’d found it & had a girls holiday there ideal for all types of adventures Highly recommend

A special location
This hotel is very basic but it was spotlessly clean, had everything you needed and the service was very good. But the really special thing about this hotel is the location. We were the only people staying at this hotel so it was extremely quiet apart from the sounds of the jungle. We lay in bed at night listening to monkeys, birds, from making their noises. Whilst we dangled our feet in the swimming pool we watched the spider monkeys play in the trees. It was very special. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, helping us arrange transport and trips. We did a couple of trips from here, the kayak, jungle walk and turtle tour. All were incredible and the guides were excellent

This place is a great deal for visiting tortuguero
We love this place! It is clean and basic with comfortable beds and the grounds are gorgeous. It's a short way from town but they are willing to drive you there by boat and believe me it is much nicer than town! Great staff and food. Highly recommend, good value... Kudos to Ron our nature guide, Bismarck the manager and Edna the cook. We were sad to leave after two days

Beautiful grounds, quiet, ok rooms
Manager Bernardo was helpful in organizing our time in Tortuguero. Excursions can be booked through the lodge (via Bernardo) or in town. However, it's recommended to book your excursion through the lodge and pay a little more to ensure your excursion is legit. We did the canal tour and turtle tour and would highly recommend doing both. Turtle tour during turtle nesting season is a must do! The lodge itself is on beautiful grounds surrounded by lots of greenery. As a result, you can hear the animals throughout the night and the howler monkeys in the morning. This is an experience on its own and one of the main reasons why I would recommend staying at a location not within Tortuguero town. We even saw white faced monkeys in the trees one day! Rooms are basic and have everything you need, but have a feeling of constant dampness due to the location and likely time of year we visited. Beds and pillows are moderately comfortable, so if you're looking for luxury, keep in mind this is an eco-lodge. The only way to get to town is by water taxi which costs $5/person (usd) each way, which you'll need to do if you don't want to eat all of your meals at the lodge. I would recommend this as it's also a way to experience the culture of tortuguero.

Very good location in the Park.
This is a nice hotel in the park. It's away from the main "town", about a 5 minute water taxi ride away. The grounds are nice, there is hiking at the hotel. On the hotel grounds and hiking trails over 4 days we say howler monkeys, spider monkeys, toucans, macaws, poison dart frogs, and lots of other critters! They offer boat tours of the canals, which were wonderful. We loved the first one so much, we booked another one the next day, where they took us to different parts of the canals. On the canals, we saw some rare birds, cayman, more monkeys, and even a sloth. The guide was extremely nice and knowledgeable. We hung out with the owners a few times, they are very nice. The manager was also incredibly nice. It was just a great experience overall, and a wonderful place to stay at while visiting the park. Remember, this hotel, and all the other ones are IN THE JUNGLE, which means there are lots of insects, it's hot, everything's damp and humid, etc... This isn't a 5 star Hilton in a city!

Somewhat dissapointing
The setting is very picturesque but the hotel is far from the village, every time you need to go to the village you must pay $10 to water taxi. Additionally, we had no hot water during the first day of our stay which is tough in hot weather. The conditions are very basic, its more 2 starts then 3.

ECO is a fancy word for Budget in Costa Rica
Not your typical Costa Rican hospitality - felt a bit of a prisoner here. You will eat this amount of this food at this time, and it will cost you $20 per person to leave the island that only it is on. We arrived too late for lunch so had to do without eat, and there is nowhere else to eat without paying $20 for the boat to go elsewhere. Nothing to do here and very basic.

Located is a remote area
This hotel has tons of potential, we were the only guests in the hotel, therefore making it difficult for the staff to prepare meals. The food that was prepared for us was good, we did not have a choice they just served what they have on hand. The rooms are clean and the staff was pleasant and very helpful, a new manager had just started and did his best to accommodate us. The pool was nice and the land was beautiful. This is remote so if you would like to leave you need to take a water taxi (with a charge) We also took a tour of the river while their that was wonderful. Our tour guide was from the area and extremely knowledgeable. The hotel is in need of some updating but overall they are working on items as they go. We did not find any type of bugs or critters in our rooms. The owners were their when we were and were very friendly and helpful.

Wonderful Rainforest-Families-Rustic and Beautiful
Our family of 4 wanted to experience Costa Rica rainforest that was remote, pristine, and all around us. Even in this remote location we did not seek out air-conditioned hotels with 100 rooms and long lines at mealtime. The Caribbean Paradise Eco Lodge, has just over 20 rooms. A well kept, three acre clearing with flowers everywhere, brooks, dining area (and wow!) a swimming pool, as well as a very large covered dock on the main river- was perfect for us (and a rare treasure). This location is about 3 hours by taxi from the San Jose Airport to just get to the Ferry Dock, it's a beautiful ride over cloud forests and through farmland (we now understand you can fly here). Then the 45 minute ferry boat ride in, to get to the hotel, was breathtaking as we cruised over the river and through the jungle by a very skilled river pilot. At the Eco-Lodge hotel we met the owners and staff and (lucky us) we arrived in time for Christmas Eve dinner. We loved the family atmosphere in the dining room and enjoyed exchanging stories with people from around the world. Our days were spent on the grounds as well as many guided tours (because the only way to go anywhere is by these fun boat rides). See photos. Seeing sloths, monkeys, reptiles, birds, fish, flowers while on our boat tours and hikes was really fantastic. Watching baby sea turtles running to the Ocean is a thing of beauty.

Off the beaten path
This hotel was cute and if you are looking to be off the beaten path, that is exactly what you'll get. This hotel is approximately 5 km from town, only accessible by boat. The hotel will provide a boat taxi, but this costs $5 per passenger to go to town, which adds up after a couple days. In addition they seemed to overcharge for some of the tours. The listed price for the "Canal Tour" was $20 a person. When we went we were asked for $10 each to get passes into the national park area. When checking out, we were then charged $20 each. Either I missed something or the price is truly $30 a person, which is not the listed price of this activity, leaving me feeling like they took advantage of us and pocketed the extra money. The breakfasts were large and wonderful and the overall experience was pleasant, but I highly doubt I'll be back. There wasn't much to do and most of the time I felt trapped at the hotel. They do have WIFI, but only at the restuarant/reception area, not in the rooms.

nice retreat close to town with park on the back
Do not expect to be in the town because you are not. If you come to this lodge is because it is in its own field next to the national park, with plenty of fields to enjoy, its fauna and its own trail to get into it (plus a pool if you want it). Sleep listening to the sounds of nature, see the monkeys above you and plenty of life, that is priceless. A boat taxi to the city will cost you 5$, but they give you two for free and organize tours for you, so you don't need the city if you want more peace. The place is really a paradise, Even with a good breakfast. Be sure to arrange the tours with them to avoid depending of going down to the city for that and then wait.

Stay Away!
I don't know who gave this eco-lodge five stars. I am a world traveler and always stay in four stars and I can tell you, this is a two star. The room was old and depressing. The food was just OK. The staff was great. The owners were not on site so I am mystified by the reviews saying how great they were.

Fantastic lokation, peronal, friendly service
Unforgettable. Miguel from the hotel picked us up in La Pavona, which was a nice surprise. Hotel is located in the jungle, 5 minutes boat ride from the town ($10 per family one way) but honestly, after visiting the village if Tortuguero and the National Park, the hotel setting was better. It welcomed us with large group of spider monkeys residing I the nearby trees, tucans, turtles 20 yards from our house, caiman, parrots and a sloth. The hotel staff is passionate, they told us about animals and their habits. 3-course delicious breakfast is included and other meals very good and well priced. The rooms need some updating bit they are very clean, bug-free and large and comfortable. Eve though it was raining most of our stay, it was the best place we have stayed in Costa Rica. If you consider going to Costa Rica Caribbean Paradise is a must. You will see all the animals through your room window and peple who know and care about them. Loved it!

L'ombre de lui même.
Notre chambre était vétuste. Trop vétuste. J'ai du même demandé à faire changer le pommeau de douche. La literie est correcte. Mais sincèrement il faut rénover. Je le déconseille dans cet état. Le restaurant est plus table d'hôte mais ma foi de bonne facture. Et de toute façon si vous ne payez pas un taxi boat pour vous rendre au village pas le choix.

Herziges Hotel in der Natur
Zimmer waren OK, aber extrem hellhörig (keine schliessbaren Fenster). Auch würde dem Hotel eine sanfte Renovation gut tun. Das Buffet am Abend war leider sehr dürftig. Ein Menu und das wars. Dafür ist das Personal sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. In den Zimmer hat es kein WLAN, was n nicht unbedingt ein Nachteil ist
