In the Rio Dulce river near a 16th century castle the The Golden Resort - Tortugal River Lodge & Marina peninsula is bathed by almost constant on shore breezes providing a cool and refreshing place. This special location upriver from the village and bridge gives the pleasure of clean water for swimming in the deliciously reviving Rio Dulce. A nicely located diving platform leads to the floating sun deck thoughtfully furnished with comfortable loungers providing the ideal place to watch river traffic going by. Fiber optic wifi throughout. Free vehicle parking and pickup at parking lot or municipal dock. Use of our kayaks, water refills no extra charge. Library, homemade food, dog to pet. All rooms have views of either the river or the jungle. All rooms except El Ranchito have a private bathroom. Certain units have a seating area where you can relax. Rooms are kept cool with overhead fans and thick native roofs.

The staff members are very kind. The breakfast was wonderful. The communication was prompt. I like the shuttle boat service. They arranged the Livingstone tour. On the way to Livingstone, the captain showed us around the Castillo de San Felipe....

We needed more time to enjoy the place. It is not far off the beaten path but far enough to feel away from things. Breakfast was great and the staff were so sweet!

The staff were amazing. They warned us of the transportation strike (when our shuttle provider did not) and worked with us to find an alternative plan. The food was also pretty good! Thanks for everything Angela!!!

This stay was one of our greatest surprises! The hotel/marina is only approachable by boat. It has separate bungalows that are large enough with corresponding decor suitable being in a jungle along a river. I specailly liked the rustic shower:...

The property is laid out well and the spacing of the river huts creates lots of privacy. Loved the simplistic design. We also loved the staff. Angela anticipates every need prior to your awareness of such need. She is amazing and very funny, too....
