This was our second stay at Lost Iguana and it was just as wonderful as the first time. Our room was very spacious, and we especially loved the outdoor shower and the incredible view. The rooms feel like you’re staying on a private property while still enjoying all the amenities of a great hotel. We traveled with our three children and found it very family-friendly. The restaurants have plenty of food options for kids for both breakfast, lunch, and dinner and they especially loved the pool area. The location is also fantastic—close to many La Fortuna activities while still feeling quiet and secluded. We would absolutely stay here again.

It was settled in right next to the Mistico Hanging Bridges, super cool rainforest location. The breakfast had a wide range of fruit and choices. Ate in the restaurant for two dinners and the food wasn’t cheap but decent value given the quality. The rooms were nice with a balcony that opened up looking at the Arena Volcano with no end to f birds ripping around. Loved our stay

Breakfast buffet was not good. Food was always cold except when they cooked the omelet for us. That should be available more often. Dinner and drinks were not impressive. Our waiter was fun and always remembered our names. Don't pay for the Puma Trek/VIP pass like we did at reception. Found out later that people staying can do the hike for free. Rooms had a great view and the location was great. Parking was always avaliable and easy. I did enjoy our stay loved the decor. All the staff members were pleasant and helpful.
