Excellent Arenal Location

Wonderful location for a family stay around Arenal volcano. Extremely nice staff and just far enough off the beaten path to avoid crowds while still being close to it all.

Amazing setting and great location

This was one of our favorite hotels as we traveled through Costa Rica. The view from the room was incredible of the Arenal volcano and it was set in the rainforest. We woke up to seeing toucans flying around not far from our balcony. The location was a perfect for all of our activities of La fortuna. We would love to stay here again in the future if in the area.

Lovely setting, wonderful staff; mattress hard and bumpy as a rock; couldn't close patio door behind us so the beetles joined us in the room.

10/10 Exceptional

We really loved our stay at the lost iguana hotel. It’s a little bit further from the town about 35 minutes so keep that in mind if you want to be closer to downtown. It was a smaller resort overall but the grounds were stunning!
Alexandra, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great stay, but the room had a restricted view of Arenal which was quite different to the photos on hotels.com It was still a fantastic stay and the heated pool and bar was a highlight
David, 3-night trip

This is the second time that have stayed at this Resort. It was fabulous for both stays. The staff are absolutely lovely and accommodating. The food is delicious. The property is tucked into the rainforest and so beautiful, but it is hilly. The views from the rooms are spectacular!!
