"If you want the rainforest, not the tourist spots, then this is for you. Beginning at age 17, David, the dreamer, bought, built, and runs this place. As an ornithologist, he is a great birding guide who works for ebird. See data on the property’s ebird hot spot.He speaks excellent English and thrives on giving personal attention each guest. The cabins are as beautiful as the photos, but a rechargeable fan and 4x4 are useful. Using his degree in plant biology, David continues to improve and expand his property, and rainforest conservation efforts. He has developed unique , groundbreaking methods for reforestation with critical native plants,"

"Mawamba Lodge is very lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed the facility, walking along the beach, and strolling through the village of Tortuguero. Mawamba has a recycling station where you can pick up a bucket, walk along the beach and pick up garbage left behind by the tide. We like thinking we may have made a little difference for the turtles."

"This hotel absolutely blew our minds. The 30 minute drive off road was very beautiful and at first made us a little nervous but quickly realized with 4 wheel drive its very easy and fun! Once we got there... We were blown away. The staff. The rooms. The food. THE PRICE. 10/10. The natural pool area to me might be one of the most beautiful places I've ever been in my entire life and literally put tears in our eyes. The amount of hiking, exploring, and outdoor activities could fill an entire week. There are only 5 rooms so you feel like the entire property is yours and the staff knew our names only after 2 days. I will forever be amazed with this place and am even looking at building a villa there. GO THERE. Before the secret is out. "

"Comfortable cabins, beautiful farm/forest setting, lovely breakfast, great people!"
