Ostional Turtle Lodge

We booked the standard room for 5 days. The room is clean, lots of hot water for showers, they clean the room daily and replace all of the dirty towels. The host Luis is great, offering many places to visit and dine at. The wifi is also great. Please note there is no kitchen, only a fridge and a coffee maker, and they both worked great. We didn’t realize this when booking. But we made due, and this was our mistake for not reading thoroughly. 🤦🏼‍♀️ there is also no TV. This place is minutes away from the beach.

5 minute walk to Ostional beach; perfect for the 5am & 7pm turtle tours without needing to drive in the dark. Hosts are lovely & give lots of information about the area. Treehouse was comfortable and clean, with a hot shower & AC. Lovely balcony to sit out, we saw a racoon, hummingbirds, squirrels & vultures, plus many crabs living underneath the house. 2 restaurants & a shop within walking distance. Supermarket 20 minute drive. Lots of great beaches & trails nearby. It would have been nice to have an electric kettle and a little more clothes storage. That's our only moan. We didn't want to leave!

We stayed in the treehouse- that had a certain novelty about it, but that's about it. It was clean enough, but old and rustic, which made it feel less clean. The coffee pot takes about an hour to brew one pot. Luis the owner was very nice and helpful. The location is great if you're only there for the turtles, but there's not much else within walking distance and the room isn't nice enough to want to stay inside. We decided if we were to come back to the area we'd stay in Nosara where there's many more options and just take a trip into Ostinal to see the turtles.

Ostional Turtle Lodge the best hotel in Ostional ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect for connecting with Mother Nature. Vero and her husband are adorable, excellent customer service, very clean. The Lodge is a small family business located next to the mangroves of the Ostional River, it borders the Wildlife Refuge and it is just a walk away from the main nesting beach. The property merges with the protected area that stretches over three beaches and it is also part of a wider mangroves system. It is surrounded by the peninsula's dry primary forest, a great spot for bird watching. Easy to see iguanas, monkeys and crabs.

Luis was absolutely an amazing host, and the room was perfect. Location was also unbeatable as it's a <5 min walk from the sea turtle nesting beaches. 100% recommend. Remember to bring cash though. My girlfriend and I could not have been happier here.

Secluded , unique and comfortable spot . We loved the treehouse. Walking distance to Ostional beach and short drive to Nosara and neighboring beach villages . It’s a great place to get away from hustle and bustle of touristy spots and chill with locals and see Turtles . There are few restaurants and stores in walking distance but you have to drive a bit to get to better and bigger shops and restaurants. The road is a bit rough to get here , it’s recommended to have an SUV or dependable car.

We stayed at ostional turtle lodge for 4 nights It’s a Great place to stay at a very reasonably price. We booked directly with Luis. He was very helpful and his English is great. Our room and the lodge was very clean. We were there with friends who booked the “tree house”. It’s got a great deck for bird watching. Luis gave us info on beaches, restaurants and helped us book a guide to look for Olive Ridley turtles 🐢 when they come ashore to lay eggs. The best time to see the turtles is in October, but we saw them when we were there in March. Our guide was Gilbert. He was an awesome guide. We highly recommend Ostional Turtle Lodge.

My husband and I were lucky enough to stay in the treehouse at this homey lodge. Luis and Veronica were friendly and helpful. Our room was immaculate and was cleaned every day. We enjoyed birdwatching from our front porch. Underneath the treehouse in the shade was what we called our “lower level lounge”. The lounge was the perfect place to enjoy a meal. The location was convenient for our turtle tour with Gilberto and we saw a mother turtle laying eggs!
