Gastronomy
Stay for the meal.
The village is close, but the best meals in Tortuguero are at the lodge. Open-air restaurant near the Caribbean Sea, three services a day, pool snacks in between, and a mini market at reception for anything else.

The mini market in the reception area is open through the day for snacks and drinks.
Breakfast β buffet, on your way out.
Guests are usually on their way to or from a tour at breakfast, so we serve buffet-style β the best way to start the day in the rainforest without slowing down.
Lunch β poolside or in the restaurant.
Eat at the pool bar, from your lounger, or at the lounge beside the bar. Γ la carte, casual, and built around the pool atmosphere β the place to slow down between morning and afternoon plans. If you'd rather eat indoors, the main restaurant is open for lunch too β same Γ la carte menu, same kitchen.
Dinner β dim lights, Γ la carte.
In the evening the restaurant shifts: softer lighting, quieter tables, room to take your time. We run nightly specials β Caribbean dishes (seafood, coastal flavors) alongside off-menu plates that change with what the kitchen finds that day.
Open air, ocean sounds.
The restaurant is open on all sides β no walls or doors. What you'll hear is the Caribbean Sea (we're closer to it than to the canal), if you listen carefully under the conversation. The bar offers a small wine list, cocktails, and Costa Rican beers.
