Turtle Lodge

Wonderful place in the jungle with new pool and lots of animal sounds Positive: A wonderful property in the middle of the jungle. Surrounded by nature. We did not really feel the need to go to the Corcovado Park, as we had so much to experience on the property. Negative: Just be aware that the road to the property is very bumpy, and you need a decent 4x4 to go there.

Peaceful refuge Positive: Amazing quiet luxury, the hostes was incredible, super gentle, take food delivery for us of the restaurant, we didn’t get worried about nothing! Negative: To arrive there you should take care about the road and car conditions, better go with the sun light.

Fantastic site, great wildlife, very helpful and friendly owners. Positive: Fantastic site for the hotel, surrounded by jungle. A troop of spider monkeys travelled through the hotel every evening and were lovely to watch in the tree just outside our villa. The owners were very helpful, especially after our car got stuck in mud - I'd missed the sign for the hotel. Alex was able to use the winch on his car to help me get free - and then jet washed the car afterwards to remove the mud! Negative: Its about a 25 minute drive along poor roads to reach the hotel, so a 4 wheel drive car is a must.

tolle Location abseits des (Massen-)Tourismus Positive: wunderbare Unterkunft, freundliche u. hilfsbereite Gastgeber Negative: Ausstattung der Küche

Peaceful and relaxing Positive: Zayro was incredibly friendly and helpful! Truly wanted to make our stay the best it could have been and it didn’t disappoint! It’s a beautiful location, with an amazing view over the Golfito bay. It was incredible to be able to sit and listen to the howler monkeys and watch birds, sloths & other monkeys from our deck and the communal spaces. The pool area is gorgeous, with comfortable sun loungers and with toilets & showers there. We were lucky with the weather and it meant we could use the grill every night and the cooking facilities had everything we needed. Helpful handbook in the room that included restaurants that do delivery which was great for our first night. We also did the Corcovado tour through the hotel which was really special. It felt very secluded and peaceful. We made use of the communal terrace and hot drink station as well as the gym and really enjoyed switching off and being away. The WiFi however is excellent so you can still be in touch with people if you want to be. Negative: So these aren’t things we didn’t like, just things to keep in mind - they aren’t negatives and we still would have chosen to stay at Maze Lodge but it would have made our stay better had we done it differently. If you aren’t coming by car, it is about 20 mins (over half of which is on gravel road) in a taxi and we were charged $35-40 each way by a variety of different drivers. You’ll need shopping supplies so if not coming by car, get them on arrival and get picked up from the supermarket (the supermarket isn’t far from the airport at all). Or if you aren’t coming by car, they kindly offer a delivery service of groceries. We didn’t really appreciate how far and expensive to town it was so didn’t do this but should have. If you have your own car/hire car, it’s probably more cost effective and you can go into town more readily. We saw the day we left that there is a car hire place in town so if we were to come again, we’d still stay at maze lodge but get a car. If you don’t want to hire car or don’t have one and need a taxi, they have a gentleman who knows the location but organise this advance of your arrival.
