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

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
