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.

The Lost Iguana Resort & Spa was amazing! The resort property is a beautiful rain forest. They have a hiking trail through the property with a hanging bridge. There are flowering plants all over the property. We had a perfect view of Arenal Volcano from our balcony. It was a truly wonderful experience to stay here. The onsite restaurant was very good. We will return to this resort again!

3-night trip

10/10

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.

We loved our stay at Lost Iguana!! ALL of the staff were very helpful, friendly and responsive. The resort was beautiful with a hiking trail and other activities. The room was fantastic with a private patio and super cool outdoor shower. We will definitely be back!
5-night trip

10/10

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!

3-night trip

10/10

We had the most awesome view of Mt Arenal!! We were out in the jungle and the birds abounded!! It was a steep walk to our room, but there were golf cart or shuttle transport to wherever you wanted to go on the property. Our massage was awesome as well and we loved the hot pool and bar!!

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
