Rainforest Cabin

Rana Roja is a beautiful rainforest lodge built between the jungle trees, and our Rainforest Cabins let you immerse yourself in nature! Wake up to birdsong and howler monkeys, fall asleep to frog calls! Each cabin features a private front porch with rocking chairs, allowing excellent jungle views, and sleeps up to three guests in one double and one single bed. Set on Laguna Penitencia roughly 1km from Tortuguero Village, Rana Roja is only accesible by boat. Our dock doubles as a two-story bar with amazing river views on both levels. As you walk winding pathways lined with tropical gardens, you'll see our saltwater pool with water slide, jacuzzi and waterfall, and our open-concept, screened-in restaurant. Deeper into the jungle are the cabins, set along raised walkways and built between the trees. A true rainforest lodge experience! The grounds feature a refreshing saltwater pool, with walk-in jacuzzi and waterfall for relaxation, a water slide and wading pool to keep kids of all ages entertained. We offer meals at our beautiful open-concept restaurant, and drinks at our riverside dock bar and second floor balcony.
