This little slice of paradise is located 20min by car from the main strip in town and closer to some of the volcano attractions. We had a two bedroom suite up the hill facing the volcano in the most tranquil and luxurious setting one can imagine. This is the closest you can be immersed in nature without missing urban luxuries... More

My husband and I recently spent 5 nights at the Lost Iguana at the end of April. We enjoyed every bit of our stay there. The property was beautiful and well kept. We hiked one of the trails that is on the hotel property which was fun although tiring. The room we stayed in was probably the farthest from the... More

Stayed for three nights in mid-April. Very nice setting in the jungle with amazing views of the volcano from my room (and the pool, and the restaurant). Great balcony with rocking chairs looking out over the trees. The room was quiet except for the birds, which was a great way to wake up. The staff was helpful setting up excursions,... More

We just returned from a trip to Costa Rica and we stayed for 3 nights at the Lost Iguana in the Arenal area. The hotel is a little away from the town of La Fortuna and is close to the Arenal Lake. The hotel is amazing and our room was beautiful. The furniture is so beautiful and the room is... More

Like most places in CR, it takes a while to get here, but a great hotel and retreat. The staff was very friendly and spoke English very well. The hotel is built on the side of a hill/mountain so there are a lot of very steep hills to climb to get to anywhere, but they have golf carts that will... More

I recently left my job working 80+ hours a week for 4 years and my goal was to relax as much as possible. I dragged a friend along with me to go to Costa Rica (first time) for several days and stay at the Lost Iguana. It was one of the most relaxing vacations I have had in a long... More

The view is exactly as described. Incredible when the clouds parted. The room with the rain shower and Jacuzzi was HUGE. We just sat on the porch for hours, took it all in, listened to the birds, and loved it. The massage was great, the hike on the grounds was awesome, our first rain forest experience. The pool was fun... More

We stayed at the hotel for two days while exploring the Arenal volcano area - it was awesome! Waking up in the morning, watching the skies brightening from our balcony - straight ahead was the volcano and the surrounding jungle. In 15 minutes, we counted seven different birds in the trees, several meters from us. Convenient location, awesome grounds with... More
