Aninga Lodge sits right in the heart of the mangroves of the watery wilderness of Tortuguero National Park and is accessible only by boat.

Connected by a series of raised walkways are 32 simple but spacious and comfortable cabins with private bathrooms and balconies. The living is simple here, as one might expect from such a remote location. Entertainment is provided by the prolific surrounding wildlife, including numerous birds, sloths, lizards and howler monkeys.

Buffet-style meals are served in the lodge’s restaurant and bar, and there’s a turtle-shaped pool as well as a spa. Bi-lingual tours of the national park and fishing are available, and if you're visiting between July and September you can witness the unforgettable arrival of green sea turtles.
