Feb 2004 Tortuga Lodge deck The Lodge's restaurant starts at the river dock and reluctantly moves inland. From Tortuga Lodge guest, Laura Preheim: "The food was the best I had in Costa Rica. The presentation of your food was lovely - thank you to your chef." (Sep. 11, 2006). See Lodge information and prices. From a guest: "We really enjoyed our Costa Rica trip. All the arrangements worked out perfectly. The drivers and guides were very punctual and professional. Tortuga and Monteverde Lodges were both great - and the food was outstanding." -Steve & Mary Muller, Apr. 12, 2007.
