Situated in a very nice environnement, for a solo traveler a bit remote from town ,taking the water taxis became a bit expensive... Geraldo,the manager was great to help me organize things The buffet is a quite basic... All in all ,I had a nice stay

Jungle immersion

Fabulous experience staying in the jungle. Accommodation basic but lying in bed listening to howler monkeys / frogs can't be beaten. Staff extremely helpful and the breakfast banana pancakes when we arrived via water taxi were amazing. Lots of places to sit out in the breeze looking at the river boats and bird watch
S, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property is unbelievable for wildlife. We had monkeys swinging over us, woke up to howler monkeys, saw frogs, lizards and geckos. The boat ride there was exciting as we saw caiman and lizards, and birds. We did feel a bit isolated there though as you need to take a water taxi to the village across the water. And the rooms were basic. Could use an update. Owners and staff were excellent and very friendly
Stephanie, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

This felt like hostel style accommodation at hotel prices. Tired, old towels and gaps that insects could get in. No added extras. Lots of school groups and the day we weee there for breakfast (most times we missed it as out on early start trips) was poor. You can use the Evergreen swimming pool next door, it was nice to see wildlife (daily visit from the monkeys) and we enjoyed the water taxis into Tortuguero. I’d either pay extra to stay at Evergreen (cabins liked a lot nicer) or stay in town. The manager Giselle was lovely and we had an interesting chat about all sorts of things

Schitterende locatie met veel dieren. Zwembad perfect voor onze kleine. Mooi in de jungle en veel apen, rode kikkers ara's en toecans gezien. Dichtbij park en dorpje met de watertaxi

6/10 Good

O local é incrível, no meio da natureza. Mas o quarto era muito antigo, sem janelas (só uma tela e cortinas). Com a forte chuva, o frio e a umidade tomaram conta do quarto. O chuveiro não estava legal. O atendimento foi muito bom.

4/10 Fair

We did not have a good time here, though Giselle was friendly and helpful. 1. Apparently the hotel did not get our hotels.com reservation and did not have our rooms ready. We waited 1.5hrs for one out of our three rooms to be cleaned. 2. The rooms are very basic. The sheets were the thinnest sheets I have slept on. Pillows are lumpy. Rods we're rusty. It really needed updates. There was no hot water. It was clean, but it was old. Giselle brought fresh towels on day 2, which was very appreciated. 3. The pool is out of service and nobody told us. It was disappointing to arrive and see a roped off pool. If not for the pool, we would have booked elsewhere. Giselle said the kids could go in the nearby Evergreen Lodge pool, but not the adults. 3. The wifi did not work at all. We used Evergreen's wifi the first night. It did not work the second night. 4. Food was very basic. Giselle was nice and allowed us to have our included breakfast food at lunch time though. We decided not to have dinner here but go to town instead.

The manager of this hotel Gisselle is absolutely amazing :) she goes above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need . The staff are all friendly and it’s stunning . Understand you are definitely going into a remote area and don’t expect more and you’ll be amazed at the rich culture and beautiful nature

Die Lage ist wirklich schön, mitten im Urwald. Die Anreise erfolgt mit dem Boot zum hoteleigenen Anleger. Leider sind die Bungalows sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Wir hatten diverse Blutflecken von erschlagenen Moskitos an der Wand. Auf Bildern im Netz sind zum Teil 2 Pools zu sehen. Nur der Pool mit dem grünlichen Wasser gehört zum Hotel, der andere Pool ist der des Nachbarhotels, der nicht genutzt werden soll. Das Essen (Buffet) ist ok, wir sind zum Essen aber nach dem ersten Tag lieber in den Ort gefahren.
Gunnar, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Unfortunately this property is need of a face lift. It felt very old and tired. Our bathroom was filthy and the shower felt like it was about to fall off the wall. It was extremely over priced. The huts are over a swamp which, whilst very atmospheric in the rainforest, is also very smelly. The manager and his wife were both very kind and welcoming but it felt like they needed more support. I would not recommend staying here for the price they are asking.

Me gustó que estaba en plena selva. Lo que no me gustó fue las habitaciones, necesitan mucha reforma. El personal muy muy amable y atento.

The staff recommended the perfect activities with an excellent guide. They also asked us many times of we needed anything and tried to be of service.
Cherry, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

En un seul mot: défraîchi. Les Lodges sont dans la jungle, petite cabane rustique et désuète (lit, matelas, literie, serviettes, lavabo, douche et peinture datant des années 70 probablement). Les moitiés haute des murs sont tout le tour en fenêtres de moustiquaire (pas toujours étanches) sans aucune vitre ni volets. Des vieux rideaux tachés assurent l’intimité. Des fourmis sur les planchers, les murs et dans le lit, des moustiques très fin qui nous ont piqué dans la nuit, des mini grenouilles dans la douche. Imaginez l’humidité à l’intérieur, le cri assourdissant et incessant des singes hurleurs toute la nuit, sans compter les autres animaux. Le restaurant doit être avisé d’avance pour y prendre le repas du soir à 15$ US pour un spaghetti et un peu de poulet comme seul menu. Les rampes en bois du site sont pourries et la piscine sale et délabrée. L’entretien minimal n’est assurément plus fait depuis longtemps. Les safe des chambres ne fonctionnent plus depuis longtemps. Le personnel est courtois et fait son possible. ps: je m’arrête là. Le pire endroit où on a logé dans nos 2 voyages de 11 nuits chacun au Costa Rica.

Rana Roja is deep in the jungle of Tortuguero where you live simply. While the lodging and amenities are simple and not your typical, the lodge owner and staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. They provided a lovely breakfast, and dinner there was well thought out and very affordable. If we travel back to Tortuguero, we will stay here again. Watch out for the monkeys, they will break in and steal your snacks. Pura Vida!
