Tortuguero is a rustic and natural place, and All Rankins cabinas, restaurant and grounds are well-kept and while not without rustic charm, it is quiet, clean with free fans, towels, soap, breakfast, 1-way transfer from Pavona and wifi all included.  The pool looked nice and the grounds were lovely.  Willis and his family-run operation is friendly and a little bit of English is spoken if you lose your words.  We didn’t always have a good wifi connection in the early evening, but most people don’t need that in the jungle. We had a kid with an online class.  My Tico hubby wanted a stronger shower.  I was happy with the trickle that was warmed with the suicide shower head.  ;-). I’m easy.

Serene, kind and rustic.

We spent 3 nights at All Rankins Eco Lodge and were very satisfied. The bungalow is simple but absolutely sufficiently equipped. The rooms were cleaned every day and we even got new bed linen after 2 nights. The breakfast and dinner was brilliant, very fresh and deliciously cooked. The whole Rankins family is very friendly and helpful. We booked our tours directly with Willis, on one tour his son was our guide. The whole lodge complex is very nicely maintained and you feel at home here. We spent 3 wonderful days in Tortuguero and would come back anytime!

Great place to stay in Tortuguero - 100% recommendation!

Willis and his hospitable family provided us amazing value for our stay. The cabins are simple but very clean. Pool area is nice, and beach is only a 1min walk away. The grounds are beautiful, kept very nicely, and many bird species hang out here. The cute restaurant is right on the canal, and the food they serve is delicious and very affordable (especially the fish supper). No hidden charges when we went to pay at the end of our stay. He can help organize tours, and readily took us to town (7 min away) on his boat whenever we needed. We would gladly stay here again. 

Amazing place, wonderful family

From the moment of arrival until departure, our time at Rankins Eco Lodge was nothing less than a little slice of paradise. The owners Willis & Iscah work tirelessly to ensure their guests enjoy their stay whether it’s the simple pleasures of a refreshing welcome cold drink on arrival or the complimentary 10 min boat ride they offer to Tortuguero departing 16.00 & returning 18.30, nothing seems like too much trouble. 
The blue wooden cabin style lodges are simple & immaculately clean, the gardens are beautifully maintained & alive with birdsong & the swimming pool is most welcome.   
The location is a perfect retreat with canal on one side & ocean on the other, the beach is accessed by crossing the runway of the small local airport!!! 
Breakfast varies of fresh fruit & fruit juice, scrambled or fried eggs, cheese & ham, toast or warm pancakes with maple syrup washed down with copious amounts of Costa Rican hot coffee or tea which you help yourself to. If you would like dinner, you must notify them before 16.00
A HUGE “muchas gracias” to the charming waitress Flor for her never ending hard work........ 10/10

A LITTLE SLICE OF PARADISE.....

Staying at All Rankins Lodge was my absolute highlight during my trip to Costa Rica. The lodges are simple but authentic and for me had everything I needed. You feel like you're alone in the world and that's exactly what you want in Tortuguero. The gardens are beautiful with lots of birds and flowers, the beach is 5 minutes away - you can't swim there but if you're lucky you can spot turtles. The airport is close but there are about two small planes per day, it's really not going to affect your stay there. 
Every lodge comes with its own balcony but you and breakfast is served with a stunning view of the river. The owners are incredibly lovely and will make your stay unforgettable. I can't recommend this place highly enough!
However, if you are looking for a 5*hotel this is obviously not the right place for you. 

Amazing place! 

Tortuguero and All Rankins were one of the highlights of our three week round trip through Costa Rica. All Rankins is a family business. Willis, the owner will pick you up from the harbor and if you have a tour booked he will drop you off. Keep in mind, the place is off from the little centre. I think this is the way to go and pick for Tortuguero. You are here for jungle and wildlife and that is exactly what you will find at All Rankins. The property is in the family for decades and has a lush garden and location a few meters from the beach. If you walk around you might spot a few Tanagers, Tucans or Montezuma Oropendolas, like we did. The rooms are basic, but clean. Breakfast is included and if you would like to stay for dinner Willis his familiy will make you a traditional Caribean dinner in the evening. The canoe tour is a MUST. If you're lucky Carlos will guide you, a true local with an eagles eye for spotting wild life. Every time we looked around the canoe tour we thought we just woke up in Disney's Jungle Book. The turtle night walk on the beach was just as unfortgettable and something that will stick around for a long time, such impressive creatures. At the end when we paid for the accomodation and tours the machine didn't work properly and we were charged twice. Willis was a gentlemen in handling this and fixed this within a few days. We will not forget this experience!

Life time experience

We stayed for two nights and it was very pleasant. The lodges are spacious, the dinner is excellent, the pool is very welcomed to cool down after the hikes and excursions. Will and Roberto were very helpful and the night excursion to see the turtles was really huge . Beeing next to th airport was no problem as there were only very few planes coming in ( i heared 2 in 2 days)

Nice Garden

Our family including 3 boys (15,12,8) stayed for 3 nights.  We chose 2 adjoining cabins.  Wildlife was abundant. And the pool was a hit (and a welcome refresher from the heat). Not luxury accommodations but no one complained - the setting and the hosts made it a perfect place.  You will meet local Ticos vacationing as well as many Europeans. Authentic CR experience.

Great local vibe for a rustic back to nature time.

All Rankins Lodge ist situatated a little outside the village but has a beautiful garden and nice view on the lagune from the terrace. The hosting family is so nice and helps you with everything from picking you up at the village to showing you animals! The food served is very delicious and typical for the region! There is an access to the beach, that is not suited for bathing but very nice for a walk. 

Cosy wood houses with incredible hosts

Will, you made the difference, but your lodge is fantastic. For humble Europeans used to have everything around, your place, your boat, the drive, the fun, the early waiking to explore the small channels by canoe, the fun to cross the landing strip watching left and right to check if a...not a Car...an airplane was coming...the food, the bungalow, ohhh Tortuguero...we will not forget you ever...
