Hotel with a spa, a turtle-shaped pool and a bar, with spacious, charming bungalow-style rooms.
Let us drive you from San José to this little paradise. 33 bungalow-style rooms set in the mangroves, above the blue crabs and under the howler monkeys. A very natural ambience for a resort that remains on a human scale. The rooms are spacious and stylish, and privacy is preserved as each module is well separated. You'll feel right at home. Aninga Lodge also boasts a turtle-shaped pool where a few XXL iguanas like to come and bask, with the monkeys not hesitating to observe the show. A spa adjoins the pool and bar.

On arrival we were welcomed with a refreshing drink, which is what is needed with the 32C plus temperatures and high humidity!
The rooms are individual lodges, which don't have glass in the windows, just insect netting - obviously no air conditioning so they're the same temperature as the jungle surrounding. But it does mean you get to hear the jungle sounds all night which can be quite relaxing, although the howler monkeys start making noise around 5am! The monkeys actually spent some time right above our lodge on a couple of occasions, very close and great to watch. Three main lodge has WiFi and most of the lodges can also still access that from in them.
The food is all buffet, but surprisingly pretty good and a good choice that differs each time, and drinks are reasonably priced too considering the location.
The pool is in the shape of a turtle, and has a small jacuzzi area as well as a good sized swimming area, and there's a bar that does very good cocktails with fresh local fruit too.
The lodge staff were very friendly, and the organised excursions were very good - canal trip early in the morning to spot animals, and a walk in the afternoon too, saw loads including sloth, toucan, Caymen and crocodile.
Overall this was a real sense of living in the jungle and as close to wild Costa Rica as you can get, definitely recommend it - just make sure you prepare for the intense heat and humidity, as there's no escaping it anywhere the whole time you stay!
